Maud is forgetful. She makes a cup of tea and doesn't remember to drink it. She goes to the shops and forgets why she went. Sometimes her home is unrecognizable - or her daughter Helen seems a total stranger. But there's one thing Maud is sure of: her friend Elizabeth is missing. The note in her pocket tells her so. And no matter who tells her to…

Jen's 15-year-old daughter goes missing for four agonizing days. When Lana is found, unharmed, in the middle of the desolate countryside, everyone thinks the worst is over. But Lana refuses to tell anyone what happened, and the police draw a blank. The once-happy, loving family return to London, where things start to fall apart. Lana begins acting strangely- refusing to go to school, and sleeping with the light on. As Lana stays stubbornly silent, Jen desperately tries to reach out to a daughter who has become a stranger.

Maud je zaboravna. Skuha šalicu čaja i zaboravi ga popiti. Ode u trgovinu i više ne zna što je došla kupiti. Kad se vrati kući, vlastiti joj je dom zastrašujuće neprepoznatljiv — a ponekad joj se učini i da joj je kći Helen potpuna neznanka. Ali Maud je ipak u jedno sigurna: njezina prijateljica Elizabeth je nestala. Tako je zapisano na bilješci u njezinom džepu. I bez obzira na to tko joj sve govori neka ne zabada nos gdje mu nije mjesto, da digne ruke, da začepi usta, Maud će stvar istjerati do kraja. Jer negdje u dubinama Maudina oštećena uma leži odgovor na neriješen zločin star sedamdeset godina. Slučaj na koji su svi zaboravili. Svi, osim Maud… Eliazbeth je nestala britanska je književna senzancija 2015. godine koja se već više od 10 mjeseci ne spušta s prvih 10 mjesta najprodavanijih knjiga britanskog Amazona. Ova knjiga slijedi globalni trend romana koji su proslavile knjige Nestala i Djevojka u vlaku. Priča je to dementnoj starici koju zbog toga poremećaja odbacuje i okolina i obitelj no kojoj se u podsvijesti počinju javljati sjećanja na zločin koji se dogodio prije sedamdesetak godina. Roman je nagrađen uglednom nagradom Costa za najbolji prvi roman a auorici se priznaju i vrhunski literarni dometi iako se čini da se radi o primarno kriminalističkom žanru.
