Gone Mother is a crime story resembling Gillian Flynn’s novel “Gone Girl”, but in shorter novella form.
When Alice Milton’s mother Lucille goes missing, Alice is annoyed but not particularly concerned. Her depressed, eating-disordered mother often rushes off in a huff after fighting with her husband, Alice’s stepfather Richard Norwood. However, this time, Richard has called the police, something he has never done before.
When Lucille is found strangled and dumped in the same river where, years before, the body of a young child, Nicky Peterson, had drowned, Alice goes in search of her mother’s killer. She now puts more credence in Lucille’s story that she had seen a neighbour, Mr Wilson, carrying the body of the little girl toward the river. Where indeed had mother gone, before she died, and why? The answer is not what Alice expects…
