The Missing Years Summary

The Missing Years by Lexie Elliott

A Goodreads 'Mover and Shaker' for summer 2019

The French Girl captivated readers with a twisting tale of psychological suspense. Now, author Lexie Elliott heads to the foothills of the Scottish Highlands, where a woman's tangled family history comes back to haunt her...

Some doors should stay locked...

_____________________

An eerie old Scottish manor in the middle of nowhere that's now hers.

Ailsa Calder has inherited half of a house. The other half belongs to a man who disappeared without a trace twenty-seven years ago. Her father.

Travelling back to her childhood home, which sits nestled amongst the craggy peaks of the Scottish Highlands, Ailsa's past threatens to swallow her whole. And she can't escape the claustrophobic feeling that the house itself is watching her.

So when Ailsa encounters an intruder in the dead of night, it becomes apparent that behind the manor's careless, rugged beauty lies a very real threat...

The Missing Years Reviews

Like The French Girl, this manages to be both uncannily creepy and grounded in the true horror of human evil. * The Observer *
Elliott follows her well-reviewed debut, The French Girl, with an equally atmospheric novel that keeps the reader intrigued and off-balance all the way through. * Booklist *
This compelling mystery left me on the edge of my seat... If you liked the author's debut work The French Girl, you will love The Missing Years. * Tulsa Book Review *
With its growing atmosphere of dread and its moody environs, The Missing Years begins with a Gothic hint that rapidly segues into a suspenseful thriller with a breathless twist of a denouement. * New York Journal of Books *
A classy thriller... Elliott is an author to watch. * The Bookseller, Editor's Choice *
A maelstrom of complicated friendships and shifting alliances. This addictive debut will keep you up late into the night! * Karen Dionne, author of The Marsh King's Daughter, on The French Girl *
A gripping mystery... tangled relationships, shifting perceptions, and the memories - and people - that haunt us. I was completely captivated from beginning to end. * Megan Miranda, author of The Perfect Stranger, on The French Girl *
You'll be well-served to carve out a lofty chunk of time for this tangled mystery, as The French Girl demands a one-sit read. * Mail Online on The French Girl *
