![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Misogynistic, pathetically trying to grab the lowest common denominator reader with simple, salt of the earth heroine and evil posh anti-heroine (the only half-drawn character in the book) and just.God, so boring. She teams up with Drew, who also works at Petes. Gabie cant move beyond the fact that Kaylas fate was really meant for her, and she becomes obsessed with finding Kayla. The Night She Disappeared by Kevin O'Brien For fans of GONE GIRL or Harlan Coben and Linwood Barclay’s domestic suspense - a gripping novel by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kevin O'Brien, in which the other woman becomes the prime suspect when the wife goes missing. To her horror, Gabie learns that the supposed kidnapper had asked if the girl in the Mini Cooper was working that night. Not only utterly banal characterisation making the whole thing absurd (not helped by the narrator's baby voice for the heroine), but plot involving spiral staircases, hidden tunnels and clues in paintings that a second woman-with-no-personality randomly catches sight of while being fed clues. One night, Kaylaanother delivery girlgoes missing. So, completely characterless girl who never tells a joke, laughs or says anything interesting but is a simpering cliché of a heroine - so bland it's actually weird - loves mummy, hardly ever wears make up, doesn't approve of swearing and studies hard - oh, wait, she's also, very importantly 'not posh', gets mixed up with evil posh people who have 'priveleged laughter' and are generally bad. ![]() Incomprehensible that anyone could have enjoyed it. ![]()
