Elizabeth is Missing by Emma Healey

Elizabeth is Missing by Emma Healey

Meet Maud. Maud is forgetful. She makes a cup of tea and doesn't remember to drink it. She goes to the shops and forgets why she went. Sometimes her home is unrecognizable - or her daughter Helen seems a total stranger. But there's one thing Maud is sure of: her friend Elizabeth is missing. The note in her pocket tells her so.

The novel is both a gripping detective yarn and a haunting depiction of mental illness, but also more poignant and blackly comic than you might expect from that description.. perhaps Healey's greatest achievement is the flawless voice she creates for Maud. * The Observer *
A compelling mystery that capture the experience of Maud, a highly memorable elderly woman losing her memory * Sunday Express *
Riveting psychological thriller * Stylist's Best Books of 2014 *
A thrillingly assured, haunting and unsettling novel, I read it at a gulp -- Deborah Moggach
