Welcome to Litsy!

Definitely another good book by Joy Fielding! This was a book about a family whose daughter goes missing while they are on vacation in Mexico celebrating their wedding anniversary. It‘s about how the family is ripped apart by the kidnapping and what they go through searching for their lost child/sister. Great twists and characters. I didn‘t put it together fully and I really enjoyed this one!

A little bit disappointed with this one. Had huge potential but it was just a bit too predictable for me and I really didn't like Michelle 🙄 I just need abit more from a book 😒

🌟🌟

Not grabbing my attention, so I‘m bailing.

This was a fast read, and very predictable. But still a good read

She‘s Not There by Joy Fielding - Grabs your attention quickly, loved the twists and turns, very entertaining. This book became one of my favourite vacation books.

Read this on Libby in one day. Quick read

I usually read more mainstream & popular books, but this month‘s book club pick is turning out to be the best book I‘ve read in awhile! Great book!

This is the first book I have read by Joy Fielding but it will not be my last. This one was difficult to put down, and loved the characterisation and plotting within the book, and within this throw in a surprise twist at the end and you have a great read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 Some may find it difficult to read as some similarities to the Madeline McCann disappearance.

This book will bring memories of the Madeleine McCann kidnapping in 2007. The little girl in the book disappears in Mexico rather than Portugal but in both the parents were having dinner close by when the child disappears.
I flew reading this book because I couldn't wait to see how it ended.

Started reading She‘s Not There as preliminary to writing a review for Readers First (www.readersfirst.co.uk). Very quick paced, addictive and engaging book from the beginning although wouldn‘t be to everyone‘s taste. The opening of the story is somewhat akin to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. In this book though, 15 years after her daughter disappeared the mother is contacted by a girl who claims to be the daughter.

I enjoyed this book it did seem to follow the mystery of the disappearance of madeline McCann. The author gave you a real feel for the characters and some I loved and some I really took a dislike to. The book flowed well and had an ending I did not anticipate. I really felt for Michelle being the remaining child and the shadow she lived with. Well written enjoyable engaging book

Received this from #readersfirst. Didn‘t realise I‘d entered for it though 😂.

Yey! Received an email today from Readers First telling me I've won a copy of She's Not There by Joy Fielding. Not read the author yet but the first look had me totally gripped.

This one was good right up until the end, which just completely ruined the plot for me. All of the characters in this book (with the exception of Michelle) are extremely unlikeable (not necessarily a bad thing). It's labelled as a thriller, but I would describe this novel as being a family drama surrounding a kidnapping. The writing and audio narration were both excellent, I just really disagreed with the resolution. #TBRcleanup

Started this audiobook from my Audible archives. I don't even remember buying this one! It has very mixed reviews but I'm three chapters in and I'm really enjoying it. It's pretty clearly based on the Madeline McCann case.

She's Not There had mixed ratings on Litsy + a 3.86 rating on Goodreads. I enjoyed it + was surprised by the who-dunnit ending. #JoyFielding

A celebratory anniversary trip to a posh resort in Mexico goes horribly wrong for the Shipley family. Caroline, Hunter & young daughters, Michelle 5, and Samantha 2, are vacationing with family & friend. On their last night there is a mixup with the hotel childcare services and their 2 year old goes missing. Fast forward 15 years and a call from a teen who thinks she may be Samantha stirs up painful emotions. Well done, character driven thriller.

While somewhat entertaining, I didn't love this one. A lot of the characters were completely unlikeable and I thought that the ending was very implausible. Plus, the plot mirrored the disappearance of Madeleine McCann way too much for my liking.

Got a surprise in the mail today. My husband is the best! 💪🏻📚👓 #sheread #forthehonourofgreyskull

I've been a Joy Fielding fan for 13 years. I have all her books. I've read some of them several times. I'm sorry, Joy, but you're running out of ideas...or fuel. Not good.

Billed as a thriller but it read more like a dysfunctional family portrait (which is fabulous) with a whodunnit/is it her? element. Would make a good gift for Mother's Day.
