One Night Gone
"A subtly but relentlessly unsettling novel." --TANA FRENCH, author of The Witch Elm It was the perfect place to disappear... One sultry summer, Maureen Haddaway arrives in the wealthy town of Opal Beach to start her life anew--to achieve her destiny. There, she finds herself lured by the promise of friendship, love, starry skies, and wild parties. But Maureen's new life just might be too good to be true, and before the summer is up, she vanishes. Decades later, when Allison Simpson is offered the opportunity to house-sit in Opal Beach during the off-season, it seems like the perfect chance to begin fresh after a messy divorce. But when she becomes drawn into the mysterious disappearance of a girl thirty years before, Allison realizes the gorgeous homes of Opal Beach hide dark secrets. And the truth of that long-ago summer is not even the most shocking part of all... "A heart-wrenching and suspenseful novel of betrayal and revenge. Stunning!" --Carol Goodman, award-winning author of The Night Visitors "Featuring a brilliantly executed dual timeline with two unforgettable narrators, One Night Gone is a timely and timeless mystery that will keep you obsessively reading well past your bedtime." --Paul Tremblay, author of The Cabin at the End of the World

After a disastrous end to her marriage, Allison needs to get away for a bit. What better way to do that than house sitting at the beach? But it becomes apparent that things are not as they seem when she begins to discover that a girl who went missing 20 years ago may not have ever left town. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the strong female characters. The ending was a bit predictable, but I was invested in these characters and enjoyed the book. Thank you, NetGalley, for the advanced reader copy of this book.
