This was a one sitting read for me! Brilliant, tense, unpredictable and packed full of emotion - I couldn’t put it down. TM Logan has a permanent place on my ‘must buy’ list.

I enjoyed this book but didn't rave about it. I thought the storyline was a bit predictable with a couple of possible outcomes, one of which was correct.
There Were a couple of twists and his books are always pageturners , I was just disappointed that I guessed the ending.

Wow, where to start! I always eagerly await this author's new books and this one absolutely blew me away!

The story begins with Lauren excitedly arriving at a London university to pick up her daughter Evie for the Christmas break. But to Lauren's alarm, when she arrives her daughter isn't there. When Lauren discovers Evie hasn't been there for weeks, the start of a mother's worst nightmare begins....

I was immediately drawn into this terrifying plot, Lauren's bewilderment, disbelief and then horror at discovering Evie gone, is only too believable. It was very easy to imagine myself in the same nightmare situation.

All the characters here are so real, they leap off the page, even Evie although for the most part of the book, we only hear from her through Lauren. Lauren's sheer determination and perserverance in uncovering the terrible truth was so cleverly portrayed and I loved Lucas, her resouceful, dogged young son who desperately wants to help.

The unimaginable horror keeps on building and the twists keep on coming, as mother and son face a desperate, dangerous mission to find Evie. T M Logan's books get better and better and this is a geniously plotted masterpiece.

If you haven't read any of the author's books before, what are you waiting for?

Thanks to T M Logan, publishers Bonnier Books UK and Net Galley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This is my first read of T.M.Logan, I have heard many good reviews about this author and book and this really lived up to it. All the character’s are well written and we can easily feel connected to them. The author explored family bonds, the lengths people take to protect their loved ones. This was a page turner for me from the start. I thank netgalley and bonnierbooks for eARC copy.

Another brilliant rollercoaster fast thriller from T.M. Logan. Each new book gets better and better. The Daughter deals with every mother's nightmare. A missing child and Lauren is like a wildcat fighting to get her teenager daughter back. She goes through nightmares most of us couldn't even imagine then just when you think you might have it all worked out.......the author chucks the biggest surprise of all at you and we're off again! A fantastic read which kept me up far later than it should have. Read it or miss out big style!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read an advance copy. All opinions are my own.

Lauren goes to pick up her daughter, Evie, from university at the end of her first term. When she arrives Evie isn't there.
She soon realises that Evie has disappeared deliberately.
So begins the desperate search to find her. It's a race against time. Is it a race the Lauren will win?
Fast paced, tense and taut..

This is a brilliant book

I read it almost one sitting!

Having read all books by TM Logan I was very excited to receive an arc from NetGalley.

The book starts with exciting opening pages when Lauren goes to collect her daughter from uni for the Christmas break only to find her gone.
What continues is the mother and son journey ( which is a fantastic duo) trying to piece together what happened since Evie left for university.

I love that the story isn’t rushed, and each step takes you deeper into the plot with a few prissy and turns thrown in.

I couldn’t put this book down and it’s definitely one of the best T M Logan books I’ve read.

Thanks to NetGalley and the author for this advance copy to read and review.

T.M. Logan is a master of suspense.

Lauren arrives at her daughters college to take her home for Christmas only to discover she is not there what follows is a suspenseful well written novel about a mother searching for her daughter.

There are so many twists and turns in this book that keep you guessing but things are revealed at a good pace.

I really enjoy this authors books and the way he writes I think this is my favourite of his so far.

Yet another superb thriller fom the excellent, and prolific, TM Logan. When a mother goes to pick up her daughter at the end of her first term at University, she is nowhere to be found. It quickly transpires that she hasn't been there for some time and Lauren becomes embroiled in a dangerous trail to find her. This is an exciting, engrossing and unputdownable novel and an absolute triumph!

Lauren goes to pick her daughter Evie up from uni only she`s not there and was told she had left a couple of months ago, the uni are not interested as Lauren was not named as her next of kin and the police are not interested as she left of her own accord, but she is joined by another mother who`s daughter has also gone missing, the plot thickens and they find Evie has been in an expensive hotel with a rich man but soon disappeared and they are desperate to find them and hopefully alive.
At times I found Lauren irritating and just wanted to slap her and get help.
Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC and I give my honest review.

I only recently T.M. Logan’s books and was really excited to be able to read an advance copy of The Daughter.

What a hook for a start of a book - Lauren Wingfield goes to collect her daughter Evie for the Christmas holidays. She’s excited to catch up on how her first term at University has gone. When she arrives at the Hall of Residence, a stranger opens the door.

Without revealing any spoilers, this is one heck of a read. I really got a sense of a mother’s desperation in trying to find her lost daughter. Lauren is a single-mum and her family unit of Evie and her younger Lucas is tight. It felt really authentic and believable how Lucas was impacted by Evie’s disappearance.

It’s an action packed rollercoaster ride of a book - fast paced with lots of twists and turns.

Huge thanks to NetGalley and the publishers, Bonnier Books UK | Zaffre, for making this e-ARC available to me in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I have loved every single book I have read by this author, but I can hand on heart say that this one is my favourite to date!.

The storyline itself had me hooked from the moment I began reading right through to the very last page. The characters were brought to life vividly by the author, all with their own personality traits that really gave the story more drive as it progressed.

A marvellous, thrilling read!

TM Logan has been an auto buy author for a few years for me since I read the Holiday and The Catch a few years ago. This is definitely an quick easy thriller read and could easily be done in one sitting as it is full of twists and will keep you guessing. This is now my favourite one by the author I prefer the dream home or the curfew but still raced through this one to find out what happens next. Looking forward to his next book already! Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for this arc.

Thank you to NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book.

Lauren goes to pick up her daughter from university for the Christmas break, and she's not there. She has literally completely vanished. With no trace. Lauren goes in to panic mode, and then starts to hunt for her daughter, and realises quickly that there's things about her daughter that she didnt know.

This was such a fast paced and compelling read. I literally could not put this down. This author always offers such brilliant storylines that keep you wanting more and more. There were of course many twists, turns, and red herrings throughout. You really thought you knew exactly what had happened, but was completely wrong. This had "Taken" vibes throughout, and I could not love this book kore if I tried. The characters were so well written, Lauren was perfect, she had the right mix of vulnerable but fierce and wanted answers, no matter the lengths she had to go to get them. Brilliant and highly recommended.

My first T.M. Logan read and it will definitely not be my last. My favourite type of thrillers are the ones that have you guessing, only giving tidbits of information to add to the mystery—and this book did just that.

From the very first chapters, I was gripped. It was adrenaline-fuelled, full of suspense and the unexpected twists made it impossible to put down.

The only criticism I have is that during the action at the end, some parts felt skipped. It would have been nice to expand on it so readers can see how everything played out.

Thank you to NetGalley and Zaffre for providing me with an advanced copy in return for my honest review.

This was a tense read with some incredible twists and turns along the way. I really couldn’t predict where this book was going to end up, but it was a hugely satisfying ending.
