About this listen

“A subtly but relentlessly unsettling novel.” (TANA FRENCH, author of The Witch Elm)

It was the perfect place to disappear....

One sultry summer, Maureen Haddaway arrives in the wealthy town of Opal Beach to start her life anew - to achieve her destiny. There, she finds herself lured by the promise of friendship, love, starry skies, and wild parties. But Maureen’s new life just might be too good to be true, and before the summer is up, she vanishes.

Decades later, when Allison Simpson is offered the opportunity to house-sit in Opal Beach during the off-season, it seems like the perfect chance to begin fresh after a messy divorce. But when she becomes drawn into the mysterious disappearance of a girl 30 years before, Allison realizes the gorgeous homes of Opal Beach hide dark secrets. And the truth of that long-ago summer is not even the most shocking part of all....

“A heart-wrenching and suspenseful novel of betrayal and revenge. Stunning!” (Carol Goodman, award-winning author of The Night Visitors)

“Featuring a brilliantly executed dual timeline with two unforgettable narrators, One Night Gone is a timely and timeless mystery that will keep you obsessively reading well past your bedtime.” (Paul Tremblay, author of The Cabin at the End of the World)

Good story, slow at times.

This was a good story that was slow at times, but worth the follow through. There were tense moments scattered throughout and a few smaller twists here and there. Would make a great beach read. The narration definitely made it far more interesting.

good not great

This was an entertaining book and I finished it quite quickly. I enjoyed the characters (definitely the younger character was more developed than the older one). Not totally believable but still enjoyed. Not necessarily a book you would think about after its finished.

good story idea but only so so writing

I almost returned this but figured I was mainly using to go to sleep by so I kept it. It did pick up after a slow start but there is no comparison to Gillian Flynn as some reviewers have stated. The narration isn't bad but the writing is pretty basic.

Great, superbly written thriller!

Wonderful, vividly written page turner that keeps you guessing till the end. Rich, believeable characters and tightly constructed plot, wonderfully read.

Enjoyed the twists, turns and engaging writing. It keeps you guessing. I had know idea how they would end this until the end of the book.

Fandamntastic book!

Kept me on edge the WHOLE time, characters very real, loved the socioliogal undercurrent and especially how we view pretty beach towns as little utopias-when they're little Mafia enclaves. Brilliant!

It was Ok good not super great but not bad enough to say bad

It was ok == the twist was uneventful. It didn’t shock and awe me. The characters didn’t have a lot of depth and were very stereotypical and predictable. The author could have played up the psychic supernatural aspect a little bit might’ve made it more interesting.
Over all an enjoyable listen but nothing special.

Move over Gillian Flynn

This was the most well written and intelligent thriller I have read outside of Gillian Flynn. The only bummer is that this is Laskowski’s first book and God knows how long I have to wait for more!
