For lovers of detective work, this is a sure way to keep you glued into not only the characters lives, but the investigation as well. Its format includes paper clippings, evidence pieces, interviews, and other memorabilia. My favorite part of reading this novel was the way it was actually told. The psychological consequences are clearly not overlooked as April did a great job going into the minds of these teenagers, having it all feel real, while keeping an overall sinister vibe. There’s also bonds that form between the characters which I found realistic to dire situations such as this. Mostly, though, we get to see what Kayla’s friends and co-workers are going through guilt, blame, and terror all make an appearance. We even get glimpses of the kidnapper’s point-of-view, which is especially disturbing. Told in multiple perspectives, we get to walk into the lives of the people directly affected by Kayla’s disappearance, all the while trying to figure out what exactly happened to her. I was enticed by this synopsis as soon as I read it, and I found myself absorbed in the story from the start. Kayla was only going out to deliver a pizza… but she never came back.Īs some of you may know, mysteries, thrillers, horrors of all kinds are my favorite genre. The Night She Disappeared, with only 240 pages, is a short but intense mystery.
