Reviews
"Watch Me Disappear is a surprising and compelling read. Like the best novels, it takes the reader somewhere she wouldn't otherwise allow herself to go. . . . It's strongest in the places that matter most: in the believability of its characters and the irresistibility of its plot."--Chicago Tribune

"Janelle Brown's third family drama delivers an incisive and emotional view of how grief and recovery from loss can seep into each aspect of a person's life. . . . Brown imbues realism in each character, whose complicated emotions fuel the suspenseful story."--Associated Press

"Compulsively readable."--Los Angeles Review of Books

"When a Berkeley mother vanishes and is declared dead, her daughter is convinced she's alive in Janelle Brown's thriller, calling to mind Big Little Lies and Gone Girl."--Variety

"A twisty, involving mystery."--People

"Watch Me Disappear is just as riveting as Gone Girl. . . . The characters are arresting, the Berkeley setting delightfully authentic, and, best of all, the propulsive investigation may make you want to go into hiding just to finish the book now."--San Francisco Chronicle

"Clever and compelling, this ricocheting tale reveals that, even in the closest families, how little we know of the ones we love, and how our own secrets are often the hardest to bear, can cost us dearly in the end."--Lisa Gardner, author of Right Behind You

"Tantalizing and twisty, Watch Me Disappear is both a spider's web of a novel and a moving exploration of the deeper mysteries of marriage and family. You won't be able to put it down, but you won't forget it either."--Megan Abbott, author of You Will Know Me

"A riveting, seductive read about the secret, protected places within even the most intimate relationships . . . Janelle Brown has written a novel that provokes thought as her story twists and turns. I loved it."--Sara Gruen, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Water for Elephants

"Watch Me Disappear is at once a riveting page-turner and a thoughtful meditation on what it means to know other people--and ourselves. Be careful: Once you start Janelle Brown's expertly crafted and wonderfully mysterious novel, you won't be able to stop."--Edan Lepucki, New York Times bestselling author of California

"I devoured Watch Me Disappear in one sitting. Brown deftly peels away the layers of a loving marriage to reveal a haunting mystery and a devastating truth: that no matter how much you love someone, you can never truly know them."--Laura McHugh, author of The Weight of Blood
