It’s also a spot for those kids who’ve been expelled from other schools and have nowhere else to go.Sophie doesn’t concern herself much with the school and its denizens. This is the location of the school, Maypole House, at which he will be working, a place for sixteen- to nineteen-year-olds who’ve flunked their GCSEs and A levels and whose parents can afford to give them additional years of private education to get it right. Kim’s bright, beautiful girl and Zach have seemed to disappear without a trace.A year later, Sophie Beck moves with her boyfriend to Upfield Common in the Surrey Hills.

Every instinct tells Kim something has happened, but looking for Tallulah turns out to be a futile effort, even when she gets the police involved later that day. Tallulah is an extremely responsible, devoted mother and she would never leave Noah this long without at least checking in on him. She tries calling both their cellphones, but they go straight to voice mail.Kim spends the next few hours anxiously awaiting the arrival of the morning so she can contact their friends. But when Kim awakens at four in the morning, Tallulah and Zach are still gone. She winds up falling asleep on the couch with Noah lying on top of her, secure in her arms. She’s a young grandma and it is normally her going out of an evening and the teenagers staying home to care for the baby, so it’s not like they ask often. The house has been a bit full, but Kim has enjoyed the feeling of being a large, happy family.When Tallulah and Zach ask to have a date night, Kim doesn’t mind. They are all living with her and her seventeen-year-old son Ryan.

She’s proud of how her daughter Tallulah has risen to the challenges of being a teen mum and how Tallulah’s boyfriend Zach has stepped up as well, proving to be a sweet, devoted father. He might disrupt her nights with his sleepless grumblings on a regular basis, but he brightens Kim’s days. Jewell does right, and I found myself captivated from start to finish.Kim Knox doesn’t like babies, but that doesn’t keep her from doting on her one-year-old grandson Noah. The Night She Disappeared, her latest novel, is a perfect example of all the things Ms. She writes psychological thrillers that delve deeply into the intricacies of human, especially familial, relationships. From our rave review:I discovered Lisa Jewell’s books in the spring of 2017 and was instantly hooked.
