What happened on The Night she Disappeared?
Wednesday 21 July 6pm
BAD Sydney Crime Writers Festival presents Lisa Jewell in conversation with Suzanne Leal about What happened on The Night she Disappeared? A book of suspense, mysteries, dark secrets, toxic relationships and family trauma.
This event took place online on Wednesday 21st of July at 6pm.
On a beautiful summer night, Tallulah Knox and her boyfriend Zach disappear after a party at Dark Place, a country estate in the woods, while her mother Kim is babysitting Tallulah’s son Noah.
A year later, a mysterious note reading Dig Here appears near a cottage at the edge of the woods, and is found by a newly-arrived writer of detective novels who has just moved in. She begins to investigate.
Perhaps now there will be answers to the mysteries of Dark Place and what happened to Tallulah and Zach. What really happened on that night?
