A twisty domestic suspense debut for fans of Liane Moriarty's Big Little Lies that follows three women who live on Galveston Island in a close-knit, wealthy community where parents behave badly and the lies they tell themselves become dangerous when a new girl disappears after spending the night with high school friends. Galveston Island - a close-knit island community where one family holds reign: The Callahans, headed up by matriarch Rosalyn Callahan who oversees the prestigious prep school, the social scene, and even, at times, the police department. Daughter-in-law Catherine Callahan, who prefers to go by her maiden name to avoid being dragged into the family legacy, has had to move back to her husband's family home after a career disaster, much to her teenage daughter Emily's frustration. Catherine finds herself faced with raising her three children under the watchful and interfering eye of her overbearing and powerful mother-in-law. Morgan Frasier is trying to rebuild her life as a single mother to teenage Alex, who three years ago was accused of, but never tried for, raping a fellow student at a party. Morgan's been sidelined by the community ever since, until her son and Emily Callahan become friends, and she finds an ally in fellow outsider Catherine. Leslie Steele is a recent widow and Rosalyn Callahan's right hand woman, whose only way of coping with the trauma caused by her husband's death is to throw herself into the local community, and make sure her children-Anna, Sawyer and Asher-uphold the family name now that their father is no longer around. But how long before the fa�ade breaks down? When Emily Callahan suddenly goes missing one night, each of their lives is turned upside down and each has to look to their children, or perhaps each other's, for answers. Everyone is sure she knows who is responsible, but each has their own secrets to protect--the lies they tell themselves that may just have the potential to be lethal.

The Night She Went Missing by Kristen Bird has high school senior, Emily disappearing after attending a party with her friends. Catherine, Emily�s mother, along with Morgan and Leslie (mothers of high school children) are frenemies but they need each other if they are going to learn what happened that fateful night. These women must protect their children as well as their reputations. Secrets and lies run rampant in this small Texas community. The Night She Went Missing is the debut novel of Kristen Bird. We get to follow the story as the three mothers set out to learn what happened to Emily. The story is told from multiple points-of-view which allows us to see what each woman including Emily is thinking and feeling. Some are more likeable than others. The first half of the book sets the stage for the incident while the second half is the search for the truth. I thought the latter part of the story moved faster plus there is more tension. You wonder what is the truth and what is a lie. I was drawn in by the synopsis of this book, but it failed to live up to it. The pacing was so slow. The point-of-view alternates between the three women and Emily. It can be hard to keep them all straight (especially since the women seem so much alike). I thought this would be more of a tense suspense that would have me on the edge of my seat (instead it put me to sleep). I found The Night She Went Missing to be predictable. The ending was a huge disappointment (talk about a letdown). I hope the author ups her game with her next novel. The Night She Went Missing is a dramatic tale governing grandmother, a musical mother, a lost teen, a superior school, rampant rumors, and protective parents.
