From Christobel Kent-whose psychological thrillers have been called "terrifyingly good," "perfectly paced," "addictive," "tense, dense, extremely well-plotted and beautifully written"-a new nerve-racking novel about a disappeared barmaid and the friend who will do anything to find her.When Beth disappears, everyone says she's run off with another man. She's just a fly-by-night party girl who can't be trusted. But Natalie, her best friend, doesn't believe it, not at all. She's sure something more sinister is going on. So sure that proving it just might kill her . . . Meanwhile, Victor, one of Beth's and Nat's favorite bar patrons, has fallen and ended up in the hospital.

The little town in the English countryside takes on an ominous air, with a threat behind every corner, outside every window. And someone is always watching . . .Kent's most recent novel, The Loving Husband, was an international bestseller, and it is in no way hyperbole to declare The Day She Disappeared her very best. It is as brutally unsettling as The Loving Husband, but even more intricate and surprising; as claustrophobic and atmospheric as The Crooked House, but even more heartbreaking in its truths.

Loni Meadows is the beautiful, unstable director of an arts foundation headquartered in a crumbling castle outside Florence. When Meadows dies under peculiar circumstances, it becomes clear that almost everyone at Castello Orfeo would have been pleased to see her dead. Years ago, as a low-level member of the Florence police force, Sandro Cellini, now working sporadically as a private eye, ran a routine background check on Meadows, and he hopes that the tidbits he learned back then can help him determine who helped her to her death.

The final instalment of the Sandro Cellini series: a twisting psychological thriller set in a long-forgotten commune outside Florence.
