Summary
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。

Kiersten Modglin is a writing machine- she knows the formula， she has great plots， well developed characters and knows what we expect of her - and she always delivers。 This time， the story is told from three POV’s after a child goes missing after her birthday party。 We know not everyone is telling the truth and although one person is definitely struggling with mental health issues we can’t jump to conclusions。 This one takes time to develop， stay with it， it’s worth it。

BLOG TOUR REVIEW Review for 'Missing Daughter' by Kiersten Modglin。 Read and reviewed via NetGalley for Kiersten Modglin， Bookouture publishers and Bookouture anonymous Publication date 8th November 2021。This is the second book I have read by this author。 I have previously read 'Just Married' which I highly recommend。 I was originally drawn to this book by its beautiful eye catching cover and its intriguing synopsis and title。 The synopsis stated that 'Fans of Gone Girl， Behind Closed Doors and BLOG TOUR REVIEW Review for 'Missing Daughter' by Kiersten Modglin。 Read and reviewed via NetGalley for Kiersten Modglin， Bookouture publishers and Bookouture anonymous Publication date 8th November 2021。This is the second book I have read by this author。 I have previously read 'Just Married' which I highly recommend。 I was originally drawn to this book by its beautiful eye catching cover and its intriguing synopsis and title。 The synopsis stated that 'Fans of Gone Girl， Behind Closed Doors and The Stepdaughter will be utterly gripped。' I am a huge fan of 'Gone Girl' and 'The Stepdaughter' so am looking forward to seeing if this lives up to this statement。 I am also a huge fan of Kiersten and if this is half as good as 'Just Married' it is sure to be a page turning read。 I must admit I was also biased due to the publisher being Bookouture。 I have yet to read a book published by Bookouture that I haven't enjoyed。 Hopefully this won't be the first。。。 Watch this space！ （Written before I started reading the book）。This novel consists of a prologue and 41 chapters。 The chapters are short to medium in length so possible to read 'just one more chapter' before bed。。。OK， I know yeah right， but still just in case！This book is based in Tennessee， USA 🇺🇸。 This book is written in first person perspective with the main protagonists being Ginny， Alex and Cameron。 The benefits of books written in first person perspective are as long as they are well written it makes you feel that you are being spoken to by the protagonist and it can create more of a bond between yourselves and them。 If there are several protagonists you also get to see more of what is going on。OMG！！！！ WHAT DID I JUST READ！！！！ I DID NOT EXPECT THAT！！！ MIND BLOWN MUCH！！！ Wow！！！ This book is fantastically written and had me hook， line and sinker from beginning to end。 The descriptions were so in depth and vivid that the hair on。 My arms was standing on the ends and I could here the trees in the woods rustling throughout。 The synopsis， title and cover were perfect for the storyline。I was absolutely absorbed throughout this page turner。 It is filled with tension， suspense， lies， secrets and omg the twists！！！ I DID NOT see any of them coming！！！ A MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS Kiersten！！ It is getting harder and harder to shock me but by God you did that over and over and over！！！ What an ending！！！ One of the most gripping unputdownable nerve wracking psychological thrillers I have EVER read！！！ You lady have one hell of a talent and I cannot wait to get hold of your previous and future books。 I cannot remember the last time I was so hooked by a book but you managed that big time！！！ Clear your schedule before you start as I read this in one sitting as I could not put it down！！ Practically every chapter ended on a cliff hanger so no way could I put it down！！ Absolutely hooked！！ I would absolutely love to see this turned into a movie！！！！ It is set over multiple time lines。 When books show what has happened in the past and what is happening in the present I find it really helps the reader （if it is well done） understand why things are happening and what has lead to the present activities and decisions。 It also shows the bigger picture。 I was completely invested in both the storyline and the characters。 Gunny， Alex and Cameron were all such realistic characters and just wow well I just didn't see ANY of that coming。 I can't actually say anything else about them without giving anything away！！！ This is exactly why you are in my top author Club Kiersten and your book is one of the best psychological thrillers I have EVER READ！！ Bring on the next one！！！ I cannot wait！！！ Here's to the next success 🥂 Overall an absolutely heart racing， never wracking， unputdownable addictive psychological thriller！！！ Genres covered in this novel include Thriller Psychological Thriller， Mystery and Suspense amongst others。 I would recommend this book to the fans of the above as well as fans of 'Gone Girl' ， 'Behind Closed Doors'， 'The Stepdaughter' and absolutely anyone looking for an explosive page turner including you！！！ What are you waiting for？！？ 326 pages。This book is just £1。99 to purchase on kindle via Amazon or free on kindle unlimited which I think is an absolute bargain for this book！！！ Rated 5/5 （I LOVED it ） on Goodreads， Instagram， Amazon UK and Amazon US and on over 30 Facebook pages plus my blog on Facebook。 Feel free to add me on Goodreads or follow me

I never know what to expect with a Kiersten Modglin book。 Her plots are always so varied as are the settings， but I know one thing will always be there and that’s a twist that shakes me to my core and makes me question my ability as not only an amateur sleuth but as a reader。This time it’s a family setting and the protagonist is Ginny， whose daughter Skylar has gone missing the morning after her birthday party。 From the start her reliability is brought into question as she appears to be sufferin I never know what to expect with a Kiersten Modglin book。 Her plots are always so varied as are the settings， but I know one thing will always be there and that’s a twist that shakes me to my core and makes me question my ability as not only an amateur sleuth but as a reader。This time it’s a family setting and the protagonist is Ginny， whose daughter Skylar has gone missing the morning after her birthday party。 From the start her reliability is brought into question as she appears to be suffering from post natal depression that has never left。 She wants the connection or motherly bond that she expected and feels like an outsider in her own family。 Her daughter choosing to bond with her husband Cameron instead。On a day out to the park Ginny meets Alex who is there with her niece。 Finding out she is a therapist she persuades her to take her on as a client。 Crossing professional boundaries is never a good idea and this automatically had me shouting at my kindle “RED FLAG！！！”Narrated by Ginny and Cameron we see both perspectives of their family life but I never quite trust what I’m reading with this author so my spidey senses are always on full alert for red herrings and unreliability。 Never trust a con artist and Kiersten is Queen of the cons。Ginny， especially her mindset was brilliantly written and I think a lot of mothers will resonate with her feelings towards her daughter。 Cameron I wasn’t sure about from the offset but that may be because my emotions were already tied up with Ginny and making sure she had at least my support。Although I did get the who， I think the author had planned it that way， it still left the why and this was， yet again， another clever book from an author who has now become an addiction。 。。。more

I read The Arrangement earlier this year and quickly fell in love with Modglin’s style - the last 25% of so of the book was full of so many twists and surprises that I did not see coming at all， and I thought I may have found a new favorite thriller author！ So I was obviously excited to read more from her。Unfortunately， although this one was a solid read， it definitely didn’t pack as many twists and the ‘big reveal’ was much easier to predict。 I feel like maybe this author thrives better with he I read The Arrangement earlier this year and quickly fell in love with Modglin’s style - the last 25% of so of the book was full of so many twists and surprises that I did not see coming at all， and I thought I may have found a new favorite thriller author！ So I was obviously excited to read more from her。Unfortunately， although this one was a solid read， it definitely didn’t pack as many twists and the ‘big reveal’ was much easier to predict。 I feel like maybe this author thrives better with her shorter works - The Arrangement and the majority of her other books are ~200 pages while this one was a more standard thriller length， and I felt like this one definitely suffered from repetition， it felt like she was trying to meet a word count （or it could also be because she’s been churning out a book every 2-3 months）。 Like I said this one wasn’t bad by any means but a huge disappointment after The Arrangement。 Hopefully this one was just a fluke miss for me and I still plan to read more of her books！ 。。。more

Missing Daughter kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time。 Ginny & Cam have a 3 year old daughter Skylar who vanishes on her birthday。 Nothing is broken or missing besides Skylar。 In typical kmod fashion I loved the twist I guess part of it but the rest blew me away。Thank you netgalley and the publisher for the chance to read this digital arc。 All opinions are my own。

This is the first book I have read by this author and it was quite good。 I liked the idea behind it but it struggled to keep my attention in the first half。 I found it a bit long drawn out and boring but it picked up about 50% in。 I will be looking out for more by this author。

Can you say psychoI was fully on board with the story。 All the family drama。 The seeking help for their problems， but then came the weird twist。 When it came to the confrontation that was the point where the dialogue seemed to go on a little too long。 Of course the final scene was a real creepy twist。 Another hold your breath ending。

I enjoyed this book immensely， although felt it had a fairly slow start。Although the disappearance of Skylar， Ginny and Cam's young daughter， initially seems to be the heart of the book， there is much more to the story than there first appears。 The plot skilfully twists and turns and no one is quite who they seem。Some of the characters were definitely more likeable than others， but I felt they were all cleverly constructed and the continuing themes of postnatal depression and therapy have obviou I enjoyed this book immensely， although felt it had a fairly slow start。Although the disappearance of Skylar， Ginny and Cam's young daughter， initially seems to be the heart of the book， there is much more to the story than there first appears。 The plot skilfully twists and turns and no one is quite who they seem。Some of the characters were definitely more likeable than others， but I felt they were all cleverly constructed and the continuing themes of postnatal depression and therapy have obviously been very well researched。 Once the plot began to pick up pace， I was caught up in the many dark secrets and lies that became uncovered and couldn't stop reading。 Whilst I did guess the identity of the kidnapper， I didn't figure out the reasons behind their crime。This is a well written tense story and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys psychological thrillers。Thanks to the author Kiersten Modglin， publishers Bookouture and Net Galley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more
