If I Disappear is a clever, propulsive thrill ride, full of surprises right through to the firecracker ending. Don't miss Eliza Jane Brazier's exciting debut
Fans of true crime will devour this mystery
A fascinating, twisty, beautifully written tale with an unforgettable premise and an ending you won't see coming
Must-read. Shades of I'll Be Gone in the Dark, the true-crime bestseller by the late Michelle McNamara
A skillful dissection of true-crime podcast culture and those obsessed with it, this new novel has more twists and fakeouts than an episode of Serial... If I Disappear throws into sharp relief how desensitized we can become when we treat real life like a game
This twisted and riveting thriller is one that will keep you up late at night with suspense

A Gone Girl story in more ways than one . . . Podcast clues abound for Sera, and the breathless reader
Blending the true crime compulsion of Michelle McNamara's I'll Be Gone in the Dark with the immersive creepy-craziness of Gillian Flynn's Sharp Objects, Brazier creates a heady, pitch-dark cocktail all her own'
Chilling
A spellbinding tale of obsession and isolation, and the darkness that can unspool when the two intertwine. Thick with atmosphere and dripping with tension, this is a book you'll want to devour in one sitting - if you dare
A unique novel . . . The writing is lean, the story is fascinating, and you won't guess where this one is going. A slick, smart thriller you don't want to miss
A disquieting and distinctly creepy debut
Compulsive, atmospheric . . . kept me guessing until the very end. Told in a clean, sharp style reminiscent of Ruth Ware, this sinister take on the true crime media phenomenon is sure to send chills up your spine!
Subtle, surprising, and genuinely scary, If I Disappear is so much more than a thriller; it's an unflinching exploration of our obsession with true crime and the darkness marbling our psyches. With sinewy prose and nuanced observations about the female experience, this debut marks a ferocious new voice in psychological suspense. I could not have loved this book more, and I can't wait to read more from Eliza Jane Brazier
Deliciously eerie
