As a double New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author, Lisa Jewell has become a “phenomenal presence” in the European and American mystery literary scene. Her works are renowned for “precisely piercing family secrets,” excelling at planting bombs in seemingly peaceful daily life-from the cursed old house in The Family Upstairs to the fatal lies at the twin’s birthday party in None of This Is True, every novel is a violent dismantling of “perfect appearances.” As one of her masterpieces, Then She Was Gone continues her signature “psychological thriller + family ethics” narrative, praised by Publishers Weekly as “a brutal experiment on motherhood, memory, and identity.” With over ten million copies sold worldwide, Jewell has been named by Entertainment Weekly as “the contemporary writer who best portrays the dark side of ordinary people.”
