Cleverly written and full of twists and turns
Grace is Gone is an expertly-crafted psychological thriller, shot through with lingering questions about how blurred the gap between guilty and innocent can sometimes turn out to be
Grips to the very last page - a tense, twisted tale in which nothing is quite as it seems
This will haunt you long after you have finished the final page
Emily Elgar's latest psychological thriller takes dark twists and turns before arriving at a suitably unsettling conclusion
Intriguing characters and a storyline that suddenly throws everything in the air, I was completely hooked by this book
Enthralling . . . Twists and turns keep the reader guessing up to the satisfying ending. Along the way, Elgar wrestles with some engrossing ethical questions that will keep readers thinking long after they reach the end of the book
Chilling and compassionate in equal measure, Grace is Gone is an emotionally-charged thriller that kept me reading long into the night. While undoubtedly a superior suspense novel, Elgar also excels in laying bare the often fragile bonds of supposedly close-knit communities. When the ending comes, be prepared to pick your jaw up off the floor
I was completely gripped, horrified, nervous, suspicious . . . I think I felt ALL of the emotions while reading it
Full of intrigue, suspense and rising tension. A beautifully written, gripping, suspenseful read
What a book! A twisted story with such well-drawn characters. I grabbed every spare minute to finish it
