Paul and Laurel Mack live in London, England with their three children Hanna, Jake, and Ellie. Ellie is the youngest and the favorite child of her mother.
The school year is coming to a close, and Ellie is focused on her studies. She desires to improve her math scores. Laurel hires Noelle Donelly as a math tutor to assist Ellie with her studies. As time moves along, Ellie convinces her mother that the tutor is no longer needed, and Noelle is let go. With her math test on the horizon, Ellie is working hard to prepare. She decides to walk to the library to study. She leaves her house and is never seen again.
Ten years later, Laurel is struggling to pull her life together. She is divorced and doesn't have a good relationship with her children. She still doesn't believe that Ellie ran-a-way from home all those years ago.
Then, the police discover human remains in the woods, along with Ellie's backpack. They are unable to determine the cause of death, and have no new evidence as to how she disappeared.
After the funeral, Laurel begins a relationship with a man she met in a cafe' named Floyd. Floyd helps Laurel live again. But Floyd has secrets of his own?
The twisting and turning of this thriller will have you guessing until the end.
"Looking at it backward it was obvious all along. But back then, when she knew nothing about anything, she had not seen it coming. She had walked straight into it with her eyes wide open." - Then She Was Gone
