”Elizabeth er forsvundet” er Emma Healeys uforglemmelige roman om Maud, der forsøger at løse et mord, ingen tror på, har fundet sted. Hvordan kan man løse et mysterium, når man ikke kan huske ledetrådene? Maud er glemsom. Hun laver en kop te, men glemmer at drikke den. Hun går ud at handle, men kan ikke huske, hvad hun skulle have. Nogle gange forekommer hendes hjem uigenkendeligt – eller hendes datter Helen fuldstændig fremmed. Men én ting er Maud helt sikker på: Hendes ven Elizabeth er forsvundet. Det fortæller sedlen i hendes lomme hende. Og ligegyldig hvem, der beder hende om at holde op med at tale om det og glemme det, vil Maud finde ud af, hvad der er sket. Et eller andet sted i Mauds beskadigede hjerne ligger svaret på et 70 år gammelt uløst mysterium. Et, som alle andre har glemt. Alle undtagen Maud … ”Elizabeth er forsvundet” er både en medrivende psykologisk thriller og et indfølt portræt af en kvinde, der langsomt mister sin hukommelse og sig selv. ”Virkelig utrolig god.” – Jojo Moyes ”Jeg har aldrig læst noget, der mindede om denne bog.” – Ruth Rendell ”Både rystende og bevægende læsning,” – Emma Donoghue (forfatter til RUM)
