Anything by tm Logan I love. Yet another amazing book that had me hooked from the very beginning! I couldn’t put this book down and enjoyed it so much!

Thank you for allowing me to review this book. I can highly recommend this gripping thriller. I was gripped from the beginning. T.M Logan does an excellent job of building the tension, and writing about issues that are currently concerns within our society
It was scary as a mother to find that your daughter was not where you expected her to be. . I'm sure that many young people are groomed and drawn into the underground crime scene. The characters felt real, who were the good guys, who were the bad guys? Some were not as I expected. I didn't anticipate all the twists and turns in the storyline. I was constantly hoping that Evie would be reunited with her mother. Lucas, her brother was definitely more clued up on the social media scene than many adults would be.
A must read for those who enjoy thrillers.

The Daughter is another edge of your seat thriller by T.M. Logan. I couldn’t put this one down!
Lauren goes to pick up her daughter, Evie, from her university hall of residence , only to find she’s nowhere to be found. A nightmare scenario for any parent and Laurens search for her daughter reveals a shocking story.
Thank you to Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I'm a huge fan of T.M. Logan so I was very excited to be given the opportunity to read this ARC. This book has me hooked from the very beginning. It was fast paced, thrilling and contained a few great twists that I didn't see coming. The characters were were written, believable and captivating.
I sped through this book in about 24 hours because I couldn't put it down. Overall, I think it's T.M. Logan's best book yet! A must read.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this ARC in exchange for an honest.

I always enjoy TM Logan's books so was keen to get to this one. I particularly enjoyed the first part of the book as we follow Lauren going to pick up her daughter but she's not there and there's no sign of her anywhere. I was intrigued about what might have happened and I couldn't read fast enough to find out. I did find I had to suspend disbelief much more as the book went on but by then I was hooked and had to keep reading. I did find the reveals a little predictable but I still enjoyed reading the book for the most part. I would recommend it.

A great book by TM Logan. It is one of her best books as I had fallen out with her most recent ones. The book was easy to read and fast paced and I whizzed through it to find the ultimate ending to a wayward daughter. Some parts were a little predictable but plenty of action to keep me interested. Thanks to Net Galley for an ARC.

I absolutely love, love, loved this book. I was completely hooked from the start right until the shocking end. Wow, what an end it was, you don’t see it coming. Just brilliant. I couldn’t put this book down.
An addictive action packed thriller. The story of a mother’s journey to find her missing daughter.
It has a fast paced gripping storyline that is cleverly written. The chapters are in the POV’s of the mother, Lauren in the present day and the daughter, Evie in flashbacks. The different timelines work well adding context and information. It’s full of twists, suspense, red herrings and a constant sense of unease that builds up the mystery. It’s definitely a rollercoaster of a read, plenty of emotions and you can feel the tension, suspense and fear throughout.
Betrayal, love and family secrets all add to the tension too.
The characters are well written, and so real. I especially liked Lucas as a character.
It’s engrossing and unputdownable. Well worth the read. I can’t wait to see what @tmlogan writes next. This author never disappoints. I highly recommend you read The Daughter if you enjoy this genre.

Wow! What an amazing book- in true Logan style. So gripping- I just couldn’t stop reading it. It was fast-paced and I didn’t see the twist coming! I can see this being on tv very soon too!

I really enjoyed this book. I totally identified with Lauren’s horror at finding her daughter missing and being clueless as to what had happened. The story developed really well and built to a fantastic conclusion. Recommended.

When Lauren arrives to collect her daughter Evie from university she finds someone else living in her room and that her daughter hasn’t been at university for a long time.
Lauren will stop at nothing to find out where her daughter is and why she has hiding the truth from her family.
A thriller that has plenty of twist and turns.
Thank you to NetGalley and Bonnier Books UK for my e-copy in exchange for an honest review.

An absolutely fabulous read! Very well written, fast paced and a brilliant plot. I could go on and on and on but I’m not that sort of reviewer. All I can say is my heart is still in my mouth and I’m trying to calm down. Just fantastic, and a very worthy 5 stars. Thanks so much to NetGalley and the publishers.

I have read and loved all of TM Logan 's psychological thrillers but this one is his best so far! Wow, it really hit home being a parent of a teenager in a similar situation.
When Lauren goes to pick Evie up from uni, all is not as it seems and Lauren goes on a mission! The language is so vivid and evocative my heart was in my mouth with tension and fear throughout, and it was almost a 1 sitting read for me. It just got too late for my eyes!
There are plenty of plot twists, a great collection of menacing characters and you're always wondering wh to trust. Absolutely fantastic. Add it to your MUST READ list for 2025.

I own two of T.M Logan's books - The Mother, and The Dream Home - but they're still on my tbr list, and yet I knew I wanted to read The Daughter from the first time I saw it. Hopefully it lives up to my expectations and then I can jump in with the other two.
This is another one of those books where I really just want to say "it's really, really good", but realise that's not quite professional enough. But take it from me - it is a very good book.
I think parents will get something completely different from this. It's hard enough for your child to go off to University, but to suddenly not be able to find them is a whole different level, and so I think they will get more out of that side of it than others.
I read it as someone who graduated 11 years ago, which gives another perspective on the story. I remember the early mornings, the overflowing bins, the dirty plates in the sink. Memories - not all that good, and Logan has depicted them so well.
It is mainly set in the present time, once Lauren cannot find her daughter Evie, but every so often we get a flashback - nine months before, eight months before etc. This gives us context and adds to the information we need to try and work out what's happened.
What I enjoyed most about it was how real it felt. A lot of thrillers and crime fiction are explosive, a bit fantasy and unrealistic. But you go with it because it is entertaining and it doesn't necessarily need to be real. But this...as frightening as it is to acknowledge, what happens in this could very well be happening in reality (well, most of it anyway), and that adds to the fear factor of reading it.
It is full of twists and shocks but not an absurd amount. It all still works in context; it's not a twist at every corner, because I would find that too much and too discombobulated (good word), but he's found the right amount to thrill and keep you interested.
Either T.M Logan is very good at research, or he's got some dark secrets. It's another book I read in less than 24 hours as I just couldn't keep away. I will definitely be picking up his other books and getting stuck in now!
This was a proper police crime drama - just without the police. There's a reason why he is so popular with readers and that's because he creates such addictive stories.

Wow! Yet another brilliant novel by T M Logan. This time, the story of Lauren, on the hunt for her missing daughter, Evie. Evie is a student finishing her first term at university - isn’t she? When Lauren arrives to collect her for the Christmas holidays, Evie isn’t there. In fact, she hasn’t been there since the second week of term… so where has she been and where is she now? We join Lauren and Evie’s younger brother, Lucas, as they search for clues and embark on an increasingly dangerous journey to find her.
I absolutely loved this book - just as much as I have loved all of T M Logan’s previous books. It has that same thrilling, but realistic feel, and has all the excitement of the twists and turns which keep you guessing until the end - and I can genuinely say, the final twist took me by complete surprise!
Congratulations for another genius read, T M Logan, and I hold my breath in anticipation of what you will produce next!

Don’t go into this story thinking you’ll figure it out before the end because you won’t!
The simple lives of mam Lauren, daughter Evie and son Lucas take a complete turn when Lauren goes to pick Evie up from college only to find out that she’s not there, and hasn’t been a student there for months.
What seems like a case of a runaway wild child turns into a story of crime, manipulation, black mail and ultimatums.
By the end of the book, your opinion of every character will change. Lauren is forced to face her worst fears, and she has to learn to be strong, brave and reckless at times. Evie has to grow up fast as she encounters the dark aspects of life that most people couldn’t fathom.
The story is told through 2 timelines. The present day timeline follows Lauren as she desperately searches for Evie. Evie’s timeline starts at 9 months ago and gives the reader nuggets of information that lead us to the present day and the current chaos everyone is caught up in.
Lauren’s endless love and devotion to her children drives her decisions and fuels this story. The actions, twists and turns will definitely make you say ‘just one more page’.

Another engrossing read!
I’ve been a fan of Tim’s for a few years now and have devoured his books previously so was delighted to receive his latest on NetGalley.
Lauren is excited to collect her daughter Evie, following Evie’s completing of her first term at university in London. When she arrives at the halls and knocks on the doors, Lauren is perturbed to find a teenage boy answering the door. When she asks where Evie is, she is met with surprise - Evie doesn’t live there. Checking in with security, Lauren discovers that Evie hasn’t just left her room but has volunteering dropped out of uni - without telling her own mother. Where is Evie and why has she vanished?
As the my of a uni student myself, this book felt very close to home. It took me on a rollercoaster of a journey towards the truth, with plenty of twists and turns along the way - including a couple in particular that made me gasp out loud!
Will be highly recommending.
Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read and review.

I honestly felt like I was watching a film play out in my head whilst reading this. The writing was that good👏🏽. Whilst I did find the first half slow, it did keep reeling you in so that you kept picking it up, and by the second half, I couldn’t put it down. At 17:02 today, on the 15th Jan, I put a note saying I’m 30% in and a little bored, and it’s now 19:20 and I’ve just finished it with a woah, wtf just happened🤯.
With the first twist I guessed correctly but didn’t think I guessed correctly as it felt to obvious. It now feels like a clever way of getting you to doubt yourself so you are again shocked when it’s revealed properly.
The scariest part about this book is how plausible the whole storyline is. Being a parent, it terrified me that my child could one day become accidentally twisted up in a dark, dark world without even meaning to. Now that, makes this scary than any ghost story you could read.
I really hope the producers of The Holiday or The Catch pick this up and make it into a series or film. It’s perfect for the screen!

This is such a well written thriller about a missing girl and her mother's search to locate her. I loved the plotting and the characterisation, especially young Lucas. I was completely hooked from the start and stayed up reading well into the night. A totally immersive read right from the start to the last page and well worth reading. Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC.

This was a fantastic story that I did not want to stop reading and hence I just sat down and completed in the day. My advice to any other reader is to make sure that you have a free day before you start to read this. The story is very twisted and though it was easy to make a guess at what had happened to Evie no way did the full story come to me. It as an unexpected ending that really hit the spot. This is one of the best by this author that I have read and I can see it being a TV series that will become a great hit.

A smashing opening taking you straight in to a mother’s journey to find her child. Clues dropped gradually with clever time hops to fill in the gaps. A very readable and enjoyable book.
