MISSING DAUGHTER by Kiersten Modglin-psychological thriller
A very different and in parts chilling read. Ginny since having Skylar has been
feeling low and tired. Cameron, her husband, although supportive, feels he is
doing everything- working, looking after both of them and the house as well.
However he also appears to have his own agenda- something we only get
glimpses of now and again. Although ostensibly about a missing child, a good
half of this is about the background with the parents leading up to that point.
Ginny starts seeing Alex who starts out as a friend at the park and then her
therapist in a bid to help her through this. Eventually things improve. Skylar
has a third birthday party and her grandparents put her to bed just before they
leave. Later Ginny finds her bed and the house empty- Skylar is missing.
I enjoyed this but did see where it was likely to go. It’s a well thought out
premise and I liked Ginny. As for Alex… I’ll leave you to make your own
opinion- to me the sign of skillful writing that a character comes across so
well to either be liked by the reader or not as the case maybe.A story of a
troubled soul or two and how that can go very different ways. A crafted tale with a chill.

About the Book:
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.
