This had me gripped with the very first sentence and I think is TM Logan’s best book to date. I read this in a couple of days and couldn’t put it down. Work totally got in my way. There were quite a few big ‘wow’ twists that were quite good (I guessed one but then doubted myself, they were that clever)!

Lauren goes to pick up her daughter, Evie up from University for Christmas but when she gets there Evie is now where to be seen.

The chapters were a good length, not too short or long and is mainly told from Lauren’s POV with a few from Evie’s POV to fill in the gaps leading up to present day!

It’s absolutely gripping and addictive and a must read once it hits the shelves on 27th February.

Thank you to the author, publisher, Zaffre/ Bonnier Books and NetGalley for this digital arc.

Lauren is excited to go and pick up her daughter Evie from University after her first term. Mother and daughter are close, and she can’t wait to hear what her daughter has got up to. But when she knocks on her dorm room door there is a stranger that answers the door. She discovers that her daughter hasn’t been there for weeks, and she has left voluntarily. When she rings Evie, there is an automated message that her phone number is no longer available. So why isn’t she answering her phone and where has Evie been staying for the last few weeks?
Thank you, Bonnier, for an advanced copy of ‘The daughter’ for an honest review. This is another fantastic read from the author. His best one yet.
It starts with Lauren looking for her daughter and with no help from the Police. She starts the perilous journey to find out about what happened to her daughter. At first, I thought this was going to be like a family drama but as things develop the storyline revved up full throttle to an action-packed thrilling read, with twists that I wasn’t expecting. I loved it. 5 stars

I absolutely flew through this one. I've read all of Logan's books, and this is his best yet!
Lauren heads to her daughter Evie's uni to pick her up for the Christmas holidays, but when she arrives, there is no sign of Evie. No one has seen her for quite some time. Lauren can't get hold of her on the phone. It appears it's been cut off. So where is Evie?
At the end of each chapter, the tension is wratched up, which keeps you turning the pages to find out what happens next.
There are chapters where we hear from Evie's side leading up to her disappearance.
The things Lauren did to find her daughter had my heart in my mouth at times. I wanted to hide behind the cushions.
The twists and turns, shock after shock. And THAT last twist! I actually shouted NO! and shut the book. Shocker! Brilliant!
This is another great story that I can see on screen. It would make a terrific thriller.
Thanks to Netgalley and Bonnier Books Uk/Zaffre for the ARC in return for an honest review.

You know what to expect with a TM Logan book and this started well with the disappearance of her daughter. But there were moments where you find yourself going that would not happen. But I enjoyed the story

I have read all TM Logan books to dates and I would say this one is up there with his best. Really gripping from the start - Lauren turns up at her daughter's university flat only to find she isn't there. At first she thinks there must be some kind of mistake but then panic sets in as she realises she hasn't been there for some time. From this moment onwards the plot gets thicker and darker with each chapter.
I didn't expect the book to go down the path it did but it remained exciting and suspenseful throughout.
I really liked Lauren's character despite her questionable decision making, Lucas was also a great little character!
If you liked TM Logan's previous novels I have no doubt you will love this one too!

This book had a great plot with intriguing characters. I’ll definitely be looking out for more from this author.

This is one of those books you cannot put down, “an up all night thriller”, as it says on the cover, the sort of novel that I have come to expect from this talented author.
When Lauren goes to pick up her daughter from Uni after her first term, she is very excited. She hasn’t seen her since she dropped her off in September and she can’t wait. Rushing up to her room in the hall of residence she is shocked to find another student there and no one seems to know where her daughter has gone. Running round the university trying to find out what has happened, she finds few clues and is even more worried when her frantic texts, emails and phone calls bounce back. Has Evie run off, keen for a fresh start, wanting to leave behind the frequent arguments with her mother or is there something more serious going on?
This is the start of a thrill a minute rollercoaster of a read about Lauren’s desperate search for her missing daughter. Lauren with the help of her 12 year old son, Lucas, a truly amazing character, track Evie across London, following the meagre clues they find.
I don’t want to reveal too much more but suffice it to say that this is a plot with so many twists and turns that I could barely catch my breath. Lauren and Lucas make a great team and of course I was really hoping they succeeded in their quest.
The flash backs to Evie’s earlier months- her a level year and start at university were tantalising and served to ratchet up the tension.
The first person narrative made the story very immediate and allows the reader to really get inside Lauren’s head and know how she was feeling.
If I could give this book 6 stars I really would! I highly recommend “The Daughter “ and all the previous books written by TM Logan.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for my advance copy.

Absolutely stunning! I love a book that gets straight into the action and this one absolutely did that as Lauren arrived to collect her daughter, Evie, from university, only to find she dropped out several weeks ago.

With the police not treating Evie’s apparent disappearance as a missing person’s case, due to Evie’s age and her having left uni of her own free will, Lauren is on her own and is determined to find her daughter.

As Lauren searches for Evie, assisted only by her young son, Lucas, we also have a few flashbacks to Lauren’s life from a few months earlier and up to the present day.

The characters were well developed, relatable and likeable, especially young Lucas. The pace was fast and it didn’t let up! I felt like I took a huge breath at the start of the book and didn’t let it go until the end.

And the twists! OMG! Genius, especially the huge, HUGE one just before the end!

5 ⭐️ Thanks to Netgalley, T. M. Logan and Bonnier for an ARC in return for an honest review.

So, throughout this story we’re following Lauren and she looks into her daughter’s disappearance. We get alternating past and present POVs, present day being the investigation into Evie’s disappearance and the past following Evie in the weeks leading up to her disappearance.

I love a missing person’s mystery and especially one where we’re following a civilian rather than a detective. That being said, this story quickly went in a direction that incorporates 2 things I’ve expressed not liking in the past.

Because of this, as the story progresses, I slowly lost interest.

I will say I did enjoy how fast paced this book was and the intensity of the ending, but overall it just wasn’t my vibe. I don’t think it’s bad, but it just wasn’t for me. 2 stars

I really enjoyed this I’m a big T.M Logan and love his work and this didn’t disappoint!!
I was completely gripped from the start
Fantastic twists and turns keeps you on your toes
Great characters brilliant thriller loved it

I loved this fast paced thriller that had me hooked from the start to finish.
Lauren is excited to pick up her daughter from university for the Christmas holidays as she hasn’t seen her for ages. But upon arrival Lauren’s life is turned upside down as her daughter’s room is now occupied by someone else.
This story is full of twists that had me gripped and the ending is superb.
My thanks to Net Galley and publisher Bonnie’s Books UK for the advanced copy

Going to collect her daughter at the end of her first term at university Lauren Wingfield discovers a complete stranger in her daughter's room. No one remembers seeing Evie and the university claims she dropped out weeks ago. All of this is news to Lauren.

You just know that as soon as you see a book written by author T. M. Logan you are in for a treat, a thrill ride filled with unexpected twists and turns. For fans, and new readers, The Daughter, will not disappoint.

Although I'm not a parent it was impossible not to put myself in Lauren's position and feel the joy and excitement of having her eldest child home after her first term at university. Phone calls, text messages and social media posts have been sporadic but Lauren simply put that down to a student lifestyle of studying and partying. The shock and bewilderment of finding a stranger in her daughter's room is completely understandable.

Frustration follows as Lauren can't make sense of the situation. The stranger is adamant it's been his room since the second week of term and the girl in the room next-door doesn't remember Evie. The frustration deepens when Lauren feels that the authorities don't believe her. Determined to find answers, Lauren starts following the few clues available to her. The more she digs, the murkier the situation becomes. The pace of the story never lets up as it becomes a race against time. Lives are in peril and a face from the past reappears as Lauren risks everything looking for answers about what happened to her daughter.

Book Review: The Daughter by T.M. Logan

I’ve just finished The Daughter by T.M. Logan, and wow, what a ride! This book had me hooked from the very first page. I’m always on the lookout for a thriller that can keep me guessing, and Logan definitely delivered.

The story centers around Lauren, a mother who’s excited to pick up her daughter, Evie, at the end of her first term at university. But when she arrives at Evie’s dorm and knocks on the door, a stranger answers. At first, Lauren assumes she’s got the wrong room or building, but it quickly becomes clear that something much darker is going on. Evie has been gone for weeks, and no one knows where she is.

From that moment, the suspense builds at a relentless pace. Lauren’s search for her daughter spirals into a nightmare as she uncovers secrets that no one could have predicted. I won’t spoil the details, but trust me when I say that the twists in this book kept me on the edge of my seat. Just when I thought I had everything figured out, Logan would throw in another curveball that completely changed my perspective.

What I really appreciated about The Daughter was how well Logan developed the characters. Lauren’s desperation to find her daughter felt so real and relatable, and her emotional journey was what really kept me invested in the story. As she digs deeper into Evie’s life, she discovers things about her daughter that she never could have imagined, and it makes you question how well we really know the people closest to us.

The pacing of the book is perfect—there’s always something happening, and the tension never lets up. It’s the kind of thriller that makes you want to read just one more chapter, but before you know it, you’ve read the whole book in one sitting. The writing is sharp, and Logan really knows how to craft a gripping story with plenty of twists and turns.

If you’re a fan of psychological thrillers or family dramas with a dark edge, then The Daughter is definitely one to pre-order. It’s an intense, heart-pounding story that will keep you questioning everything until the very end. I loved it and can’t wait to see what Logan comes up with next!

Rating: 5/5
T.M. Logan has once again proven why he’s one of the best in the thriller genre. The Daughter is a must-read for anyone who loves a twisty, unpredictable story.

T.M. Logan's latest thriller is a chilling exploration of the dark side of social media and the vulnerability of young people in today's hyper-connected world. The story takes us on a rollercoaster ride of suspense and intrigue as a mother desperately searches for her missing daughter.

The narrative masterfully blurs the lines between good and evil, keeping readers guessing until the very end. The characters are complex and relatable, each with their own secrets and motivations. The author's skillful use of twists and turns will leave you breathless, constantly questioning who to trust and what will happen next.

This book is a must-read for anyone who enjoys a heart-pounding thriller that will stay with them long after they turn the final page. It's a cautionary tale that reminds us of the dangers lurking in the shadows of the internet and the importance of staying vigilant in protecting our loved ones.

I was so happy to be approved for this early copy and it really did not disappoint.
I’ve been struggling with thrillers recently but this one really was a good one. It had my attention from the first chapter and was held throughout and I really wasn’t sure where it was going to go. I may have had a very teeny tiny issue with the age of Lucas, at 12 I felt he was very old for his age but that didn’t take away any of the intensity or drama this book had.
As always would read anything by this author.

TM Logan delivers another enjoyable read with “The Daughter,” a gripping thriller that deals with one of every parents fears. a missing child.

Lauren is travels to her daughters university to collect Evie following the end of her first term. Lauren can’t wait to catch up with Evie but her her excitement turns to fear and confusion when she discovers that Evie hasn’t been staying in her dorm room for weeks. Lauren speaks to other students and staff but their vague answers only add to her confusion. Desperate to find her daughter, Lauren embarks on a relentless search for Evie which uncovers a trail of secrets and a feeling that she doesn’t know her daughter as well as she thought.
The novel is well written and is told at a excellent pace which keeps the reader gripped and wanting to know more. I enjoyed the character Lauren who showed determination and a maternal instinct in her quest to find Evie.
I would like to thank both Netgalley and Bonner Books UK for supplying a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

Fantastic read. I cannot wait to purchase a copy to add to the rest of my T.M Logan collection. I very rarely will read books over and over, but I'm always happy to read Logan's books more than once. My bookclub enjoy them too.

A fast paced thriller read from this author which had me on the edge of my seat throughout

I have read all his books and enjoyed them including this one. I thought this was very different to his previous books, a bit gangsterish for me from the middle/ending but a thoroughly exciting read.

Thank you to Netgalley and Bonniere Books for this ARC which I have no hesitation in recommending.

I usually really enjoy books by TM Logan but this was nowhere close to normal standards.
I get so frustrated when books are described as shocking twist and turns.... I didn't see them! It was an bog standard thriller that can be read easily and quick with great writing and good characters. I personally really identified with being a mum losing their child via the teenage years and learning to let go.
I did have 1 major shock very close to the end, which I was pleased with and hadn't guessed so that was also on the positive side, but that was it really.
Sadly, I didn't enjoy the ending and would've loved to have known what happened to certain characters that felt forgotton about.
A basic run of the mill Thriller with good and bad. 3. 5 stars, rounded to 4. Thank you #NetGalley for the advanced copy.
