ASUNDAY TIMESTOP FIVE BESTSELLER
How do you solve a mystery when you can't remember the clues?
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. And no matter who tells her to stop going on about it, to leave it alone, to shut up, Maud will get to the bottom of it.
Because somewhere in Maud's damaged mind lies the answer to an unsolved seventy-year-old mystery. One everyone has forgotten about.
Everyone, except Maud . . .

a
former
bookseller,
grew

went
to

college
and
completed
her
first
degree
in
bookbinding.
She
then
worked
for
two
libraries,
two
bookshops,
two
art
galleries
and
two
universities,
and
was
busily
pursuing
a
career
in
the
art
world
before
writing
overtook
everything.
She
moved

Norwich
in
2010
to

at
UEA

Recenzii
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.

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. And no matter who tells her to stop going on about it, to leave it alone, to shut up, Maud will get to the bottom of it.
Because somewhere in Maud's damaged mind lies the answer to an unsolved seventy-year-old mystery. One everyone has forgotten about.
Everyone, except Maud . . .
A page-turning story of suspense, Elizabeth Is Missing hauntingly reminds us that we are all at the mercy of our memory. Always compelling, often poignant, and at times even blackly witty, this is an absolutely unforgettable novel.
