Ten years after her teenage daughter disappears, a woman crosses paths with a charming single father whose young child feels eerily familiar, in this evocative, suspenseful drama from New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jewell—perfect for fans of Paula Hawkins and Liane Moriarty.
Ellie Mack was the perfect daughter. She was fifteen, the youngest of three. She was beloved by her parents, friends, and teachers. She and her boyfriend made a teenaged golden couple. She was days away from an idyllic post-exams summer vacation, with her whole life ahead of her.
And then she was gone.
Now, her mother Laurel Mack is trying to put her life back together. It’s been ten years since her daughter disappeared, seven years since her marriage ended, and only months since the last clue in Ellie’s case was unearthed. So when she meets an unexpectedly charming man in a café, no one is more surprised than Laurel at how quickly their flirtation develops into something deeper. Before she knows it, she’s meeting Floyd’s daughters—and his youngest, Poppy, takes Laurel’s breath away.
Because looking at Poppy is like looking at Ellie. And now, the unanswered questions she’s tried so hard to put to rest begin to haunt Laurel anew. Where did Ellie go? Did she really run away from home, as the police have long suspected, or was there a more sinister reason for her disappearance? Who is Floyd, really? And why does his daughter remind Laurel so viscerally of her own missing girl?

很好读,情节抓人,丝丝入扣。有种危情十日衍生剧的感觉...喜欢!你终于放过了自己。
评分去年看的书,今天忽然想起来这本书和《网络迷踪》这个电影有点像,区别在于这本书理每个人的故事全部都是bad ending。人性确实复杂,但是不一定100%黑暗。
评分感觉剧情没有想象的那么悬疑,只不过是一个不能生育的女人,为了留住丈夫对自己的爱,绑架一位花季少女,购买精子,借腹怀孕,谎称是自己所生孩子,随后残忍伤害花季少女。而她的丈夫在得知所有事情真相之后,和花季少女妈妈有一段暧昧关系之后,写信揭露真相,然后因为承受不了生命之重,妻子死亡,最后自杀生亡。花季少女所生的女儿则相当于她的灵魂存在,给予家人寄托。故事结尾以小女孩的人一封信结尾。感觉像是解释了生活中很多看起来毫无里头的事情似乎都有其存在的含义。为人还是要向善,坏人终究还是会受到灵魂的谴责。
评分有点creepy,一不小心走进圈套被囚禁的故事,让我想到张颖颖
评分读完以后感慨故事里面的每一个人物都是悲剧:被绑架的大女儿,失去女儿的妈妈,童年被忽略的二女儿,被前妻纠缠的人,深爱着对方却从未真正被爱的女人,相互爱着对方却不能在一起的夫妇,一个个破损的家庭……每一个发生的悲剧都想让人谴责作俑者,但作者又让你看到作俑者背后又有着他自己的悲剧。节奏很快,没有咬文嚼字,没有很多人名要记,很适合当做英语读物!
