So, yes “Then She Was Gone” is the perfect package. Her words are nicely put together and have a “literary” feel for a mystery novel. She portrays events and actions and also lays out what her characters are feeling, so there is a lot of emotional depth. She builds up the story with pitch-perfect details and manages to sketch the characters just right. When I started listening, I was initially surprised that the book was really as good as the reviews said it would be. I have no doubt that “Then She Was Gone” is a good book. Then Laurel meets Poppy Floyd’s younger daughter, and is quite taken aback because Poppy has an uncanny similarity to Ellie. She meets Floyd, a handsome stranger, and the relationship quickly blossoms into love, almost. Laurel stunned by Ellie’s disappearance, has retreated from life, from other relationships, her husband, her children, but now, post-divorce has begun to put her life together again. Ellie is never found and the trail gets cold. The police believe that she has run away although the mother Laurel Mack is sure she hasn’t. Ellie Mack, a lovely teenager, the light of her mother’s life, disappears one day.
