&ldquo;In this rare standalone, the prolific Gardner has come up with one of the most original characters in recent crime fiction, a woman readers can care about even while not being entirely sure of what to make of her.&rdquo;--Washington Post"This book, the best-selling author&rsquo;s first stand-alone novel in 20-years, is a sharply-written, tension-filled yarn full of twists readers are unlikely to see coming. The most compelling element, however, is the character of Frankie, a recovering alcoholic whose obsession with the missing is a penance of sorts for the burden of guilt and grief she carries over a past trauma that took the life of a man she loves.&rdquo;--Associated PressNamed one of 2021's Most Anticipated Books by "Good Morning America," PopSugar,&#160;Bookpage,&#160;CrimeReads, and Mystery Tribune"A masterpiece of post-modern noir....A riveting stunner of a tale where the rare appearance of the sun shines down on what is certain to be one of the best thrillers of 2021.&rdquo;--Providence Journal&ldquo;[An] outstanding crime novel&hellip;. Gardner pulls no punches in this socially conscious standalone.&rdquo;--Publishers Weekly (starred review)&ldquo;Fans of this incredible author, police procedurals, timely immigrant stories, strong determined women, and tales that are not tied up with a pretty bow at the end will not be able to get enough of this intense page-turner.&rdquo;--Library Journal (starred review)&ldquo;It&rsquo;s hard to tag just one stand-out element here, between the multidimensional portrayal of Mattapan&rsquo;s Haitian expat community, Frankie&rsquo;s humanizing demons and straightforward investigative technique, and a page-turning plot with all its ends tucked in unpredictably tight. Tense and immersive, Gardner&rsquo;s latest&hellip;is a sure bet both for readers drawn to gritty gumshoe fiction and for the growing legion of true- crime podcast fans.&rdquo;--Booklist (starred review)&ldquo;Gardner is a pro at writing tough-as-nails, wiseass, broken-yet-steely female characters, and Frankie does not disappoint&hellip;Fans of Gardner&rsquo;s Tessa Leoni, D.D. Warren, and Flora Dane will embrace her new heroine's grit and empathy.&rdquo;--Kirkus Reviews"The pace of Before She Disappeared makes it a faster read than the number of pages would suggest. For me, it fell into 'couldn&rsquo;t put it down' territory, and of all Gardner&rsquo;s books that I&rsquo;ve read, I think this was the best.&rdquo;--St. Louis Post-Dispatch"Lisa Gardner delves deeply into her protagonist&rsquo;s psyche in this tough, street-level, socially conscious thriller.&rdquo;--Florida Times-Union&ldquo;Before She Disappeared&#160;introduces what may be the most powerful sleuth of the decade, an &ldquo;ordinary&rdquo; woman driven to uncover the truth at any personal cost. There&rsquo;s only one thing to ask for by the time the book ends: please, please, a sequel and a series.&rdquo;--New York Journal of Books&ldquo;As Frankie&rsquo;s investigation progresses, it offers an up-close look into some of the issues that plague American society today&mdash;racism, antipathy toward immigrants and the trafficking of young women&mdash;while providing a blistering narrative and sympathetic characters&hellip;Before She Disappeared is billed as a standalone, but I&rsquo;m thinking it would be the perfect setup for a terrific series.&rdquo;--Bookpage"A propulsive mystery, one with enough twists and turns to keep even the most seasoned readers of the genre guessing until the end. But it&rsquo;s also --- perhaps more importantly --- a fascinating character study, as Frankie wrestles with her own demons even as she grows closer to her goal.&rdquo;--Bookreporter.com&ldquo;Smart, suspenseful, and socially conscious, this novel knows how to concoct a thriller out of current affairs without cheapening the subject or deriding any of the people involved. Frankie is a troubled, complicated woman determined to do the right thing while also recognizing that she doesn&rsquo;t have all the answers and is in no place to dictate the affairs of others. She&rsquo;s a wonderful heroine for our turbulent times."--Criminal Element"Think Jack Reacher with a specific mission and a driving purpose&hellip;Socially conscious and deeply researched&hellip;this thriller will keep devoted thriller and suspense readers on their toes. Plus, Gardner knows how to write honest, believable female leads.&rdquo;--BookTrib&ldquo;Before She Disappeared is a first-class crime novel by a master of the thriller genre. I highly recommend it.&rdquo; &ndash; David Baldacci&#160;&ldquo;To read Lisa Gardner is to put yourself in the hands of a master storyteller. In Before She Disappeared, she gives us a crackling mystery, gritty atmosphere and an unforgettable heroine. I loved the damaged, determined Frankie Elkin. You will, too.&rdquo;&mdash; Riley Sager, bestselling author of Home Before Dark &ldquo;Before She Disappeared has a gutsy heroine, a timely, fascinating storyline, and a real sense of anticipation that kept me turning the pages.&rdquo; &ndash; Tami Hoag &#160; &ldquo;This time Gardner truly hits it out of the park. Frankie Elkins is a heroine for the ages.&rdquo; &ndash; Tess Gerritsen&ldquo;Nuanced and complex, Before She Disappeared proves once more Lisa Gardner knows how to set a hook better than anyone. It&rsquo;s a &lsquo;just one more chapter&rsquo; thriller that will have you reading into the night. I loved it.&rdquo;--Gregg Olsen, bestselling author of Water's Edge&ldquo;An exceptional amateur sleuth thriller&hellip;a very recommendable read.&rdquo;--Mystery and Suspense"The case is intriguing and travels in refreshingly unexpected directions. . . . You're highly likely to enjoy this." &mdash;The Booklist Queen &#160; "Fascinating . . . A page-turner about the search for a missing teenage girl in Boston and the mysterious woman obsessed with finding her." &mdash;The Big Thrill &#160; "Hang on to some of the best moments in story telling by the master herself Lisa Gardner. Before She Disappeared may just be one of her best . . . and that is saying a lot." &mdash;Fresh Fiction
