What Cathy Read Next: Book Review of Then He Was Gone
In her review at What Cathy Read Next, Cathy digs into the novel's multi-perspective structure — Elizabeth, Paul, older brother Nick, and park ranger Hollis Monroe all get their own vantage point on Henry's disappearance in Rocky Mountain National Park. She highlights the small cracks the search exposes in Elizabeth and Paul's marriage, singling out Nick's guilt-driven spiral into internet conspiracy theories as particularly affecting, and Elizabeth's fight to stay sober under the strain as one of the novel's most gripping threads. Cathy sums the book up in three words: pacy, gripping, emotional, and recommends it alongside Jennifer Hillier's Little Secrets.
