When I wake up with the sun in my eyes the morning after my daughter’s birthday party, I know something is very wrong. I go straight to her room but feel a surge of panic when I see an empty bed. Downstairs everything is totally quiet, and the front door is locked. Why didn’t I hear her scream? Who took our little girl?
My husband says I’ve been struggling since Skylar was born and that sometimes I forget things. But I remember every moment of my daughter’s party—including him locking the door after our family and friends left. Yes, we both had a drink and I slept heavily but I know I would have heard my child cry. A good mother always does.
My therapist says I need to stand up for myself. She wants me to confront my husband about the woman I heard him talking to the other night when he thought I was asleep. And about the child’s toy that I found that does not belong to Skylar. Is he hiding something?
But as the hours race by I soon realize I was totally wrong about everything that happened that night. I thought I’d put my past behind me long ago but I was wrong. All I know is this: I’ll do whatever it takes to save my child.
Will you believe me?
A heart-pounding, unbelievably twisty psychological thriller that will have you sleeping with the light on! Fans of Gone Girl, Behind Closed Doors and The Stepdaughter will be utterly gripped.
Review
Ginny and Cameron’s daughter Skyler disappears from the house during the night after her third birthday party now the hunt begins, where is she? Who has her? Was it the parents? Can the couple get through it together or will it tear them apart?
Missing Daughter highlighted postpartum depression very well including the lack of a bond between mother and child, and how it affects the person who is suffering from it but it also shows the effects it had on loved ones too. But does it drive you to harm your own child?
I liked Ginny, Cameron, I wasn’t so sure of, and Alex who befriended Ginny quickly at the park one day seemed good for Ginny.
There are a lot of questions in this book, many people that could have taken Skyler and the reasons why are plausible as Kirsten Modglin set the book up brilliantly and it flowed at a fast pace. This is the first book I have read by Kiersten Modglin and it won’t be the last. I love a book that keeps me guessing throughout and this one certainly did that.
