From David Bell, bestselling author of Somebody I Used to Know and Forgotten Girl, comes another “spellbinding and gripping” novel of guilt, regret, and friendship with Since She Went Away. When Jenna Barton received the text message from her lifelong best friend, Celia Walters, with a single request—‘Want to meet in the park at 12?’—she jumped at the chance to re-live some old high school fun. Jenna was running late to meet Celia that night. But Celia never arrived—and hasn’t been seen since. A master of the small-town, layered thriller, in Since She Went Away, David Bell has crafted another smart, suspenseful novel that proves why Suspense Magazine has called him “one of the brightest and best crime fiction writers of our time.”
