Our view
“Then She Was Gone” is a suspense novel that grips through dread and sadness more than surprise. Some readers see where it is heading, and the book seems content with that, giving up answers early and letting their weight build. Those who want a late twist may come away flat; those drawn to the sorrow behind a mystery will find it hard to stop reading.
