Rating - 3.5⭐️

Imagine going to collect your daughter from university, to bring her back for Christmas, only to find out she has disappeared me out a trace? The police won’t help, so you take matters into your own hands. How far will you go to find your daughter?

I really enjoyed this book, fast paced with multiple twists I did not see coming! We have a dual POV and timeline as we go between the mum in present to the daughter in past tense. The short chapters were a win and the multiple different aspects of this book kept you guessing until the end. I did find at times the book to feel a bit slower and felt very stagnant. I will be reading more form T M Logan!

Brilliantly unpredictable book full of twists and turns. Keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. Thank you netgalley for the advanced copy

Lauren can't wait to see her daughter again, to pick her up from university at the end of her first term. But when she arrives at her hall and knocks on the door to her room, a stranger opens it. At first, Lauren thinks she must have the wrong room, or the wrong floor. Maybe even the wrong building. But she soon realises the truth: Evie's not there. She hasn't been there for weeks. So where is she?

TM Logan is an auto-buy, must-read author for me and I eagerly await every book, and this ninth title definitely doesn’t disappoint! I devoured this book in one sitting, I literally couldn’t put it down, I had to know what happened!

The premise of this book has your intrigue right from the start, Lauren’s excitement about her daughter coming home from uni clearly evident, the excitement turning to panic and then fear, the story unfolding in ways you could never expect. The twists are exemplary, as expected from Tim, and the suspense and tension builds throughout, honestly those pages turn themselves as you decipher the clues, another addictive read.

I feel a little bad that Tim spends so long perfectly curating these book ideas and putting pen to paper, only for us readers to be so transfixed that we finish it in just a day! However this proves just how captivating his books are and am sure that can be nothing but a huge compliment. Needless to say, massively recommend this book, go and pick up a copy today!

WOW! What a heart stopping read. T M Logan never disappoints and this has got to be the best one yet.
A fast paced thriller full of lots of twists and turns I really didn’t know where it was heading. It grabbed from the first page right through to the last I literally could not put it down. This is a must read.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC in return for an honest review.

I have enjoyed this author’s other books but I found this one a bit unbelievable in parts. That said it was also a bit of a rollercoaster ride which kept me reading. I would definitely read the next offering. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for chance to review it.

T. M. Logan is a go to author for me and I’ve read all of his books. I was excited to read his latest, The Daughter, publishing on 27th February 2025. Thanks to Bonnier Books and NetGalley for an advance copy to review.

Lauren can’t wait to collect her daughter, Evie, from her first term at university. When she goes to her room someone else answers the door. No one seems to recognise her and eventually Lauren discovers that Evie has dropped out. Evie’s phone and email account seem to be disconnected, so where is she? Lauren begins the search to get her daughter back.

From the start, I was gripped by this book. The short chapters keep it pacy and the characters are great, I particularly warmed to Lucas. The second half of the book really ramps up the tension and twists and turns, I couldn’t put the book down! I thought I had it sussed and the rug was pulled from under me yet again.
I was a bit disappointed the lovely, helpful security guy seemed to get forgotten about and never mentioned again. However, Lauren has enough on her plate I guess.

I would highly recommend this book if you want a gripping read that will keep you on the edge of your seat. If I’d had the time, I would have probably read the book in one sitting. Another great read from T. M. Logan.

This is a great, fast paced thriller.
Lauren is looking forward to seeing her daughter again after she’s been away at University, but when she arrives at her place, she’s not there.
Lauren speaks to the admin department but they tell her that Evie has withdrawn from the course.
This sends Lauren into a spin but she’s determined to find out where Evie is.
Lauren’s younger son wants to help find his sister, so they both start searching. I found some aspects of this unbelievable especially when it’s clear they are up against some hardened criminals, yet Lauren keeps taking Lucas with her.
There’s a few surprises in store in this book which I really liked and as with TM Logan’s other books, there’s some nail biting moments.
Thanks to Bonnier Books for the opportunity to read this book.

I thoroughly enjoyed this read from start to finish. T M Logan is a new firm favourite when it comes to mystery authors, and this book is the epitome of why.

This book was captivating, mesmerising and had me tossing and turning, desperate to figure out exactly what was going on. I seemed to think I'd cracked it and, bam, another twist to keep us going. I found the characterisation to be superb, alongside how well thought out the narrative was, and generally everything felt absolutely fool proof. I did not know who to trust, who to blame and I just felt an urge to step into the narrative myself and help the characters get to the bottom of the situation.

This book felt so scarily real, that I was genuinely concerned for Evie and wanted to look after her and make sure she was okay. I felt such a connection to the characters and I spent a significant time after reading this book thinking about what their lives would look like now!

Another blinder from T M Logan.

Lauren arrives to pick up her daughter from University only she isn't there. She hasn't been there for weeks.
This is the story of what Lauren does next and how the instincts of a mother kick in and she will stop at nothing to find her.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and author for sending me an ARC of The Daughter.

I am literally still trying to get my breath back after this! It is like driving in a race car at 100mph from start to finish! What an absolutely AMAZING ride! I could not put this down. Good job it’s half term and I’ve got the time!

There are no other words. Total brilliance.

Wow!! This was just everything I could have wanted from a domestic noir. I was constantly second guessing myself and my theories due to all the twists and turns. It had my absolutely hooked from the start and I couldnt put it down. Its well written and is impossible not to get under your skin. A must read

This is truly one of the twistiest thrillers I've read to date. It had me completely gripped from the first chapter to the last.

Clever, fast-paced, emotional, dark... I loved it! The characters are so well written and utterly believable. This is now my favourite book from this author. So, so good!

The Daughter is a clear 5/5⭐️ read and can see this adapted for tv.
Lauren is on her way to pick up her daughter, Evie, when we first meet her. Lauren is travelling to the university to bring Evie home for the Christmas holidays, it’ll be the first time she’s seen her since dropping her off back in September. When Lauren goes to her room a boy answers, he’s never seen Evie. Lauren checks she has the right room before finding someone from the university to help her but they aren’t allowed to tell her anything. Lauren finds out eventually that Evie left the university weeks ago, so where is she? When Lauren tries to ring her the number is unrecognised. She needs to find someone who knows her daughter to give her a lead to help track her down.
This was a tense read at times, I was glad my daughter has done uni as I would have been even more tense! The book flowed really well there was a great twist that had my shouting out “what!!”. There are a lot of great characters that were well rounded and believable making this book so much more readable. The storyline was well thought out and had a good pace all the way through. The ending was believable and left no unanswered questions.
I would like to thank NetGalley and Bonnier Books Uk, Zaffre for this ARC I received in exchange for an honest review.

A fast paced read with lots of twists and turns to keep you guessing along the way.

My thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book.

Wow wow wow - this book gripped me more than any other recently!! I loved it.
I loved the pace, the story telling, the setting and everything else.
Id say The Daughter and The Dream Home are the best TM Logan has written.
I feel like I've struggled reading recently, but this just pulled me out of it and I couldn't get enough.
I've been reading a chapter at every opportunity.
I don't want to give any spoilers - I guessed several parts, but it didn't ruin it and it was quite cleverly done.
It covers a lot of recent trends..... Which were written quite well I think.
Definitely 5 stars, a recommended read for all.

The Daughter is an absolutely gripping thriller that hooks you from the very first page. Lauren arrives at her daughter’s university to pick her up, only to discover that she hasn’t been there for weeks and no one, not the university or even the police, seems willing to help. Determined to uncover the truth, Lauren and her young son take matters into their own hands, leading to a tense and unpredictable investigation.

The pacing is relentless, with each new clue pulling you deeper into the mystery. Just when you think you have things figured out, the story delivers a jaw-dropping twist that completely changes everything. It’s one of those books that keeps you up all night, desperate for answers.

If you love psychological thrillers packed with suspense, emotion, and shocking reveals, The Daughter is a must-read!

Yet another fantastic book by T.M Logan - this has got to be my favourite by far! This book had me so stressed out trying to figure out what had happened to Evie and feeling like no-one was trying to help Lauren find her. I loved all the reveals and the twists planted in the storyline, it kept me hooked the entire way through. Highly recommend picking this one up!

Lauren is looking forward to seeing her daughter again. She is travelling to collect her for the Christmas holiday, after her first term at Uni. When Lauren arrives at her daughter’s room, she finds it’s occupied by another student. Upon further investigation around the campus, Lauren discovers that Evie hasn’t been at Uni for a number of weeks.

Lauren is in a state of total disbelief. Although their relationship was rather tenuous, how can her daughter have left without telling her? The Uni can only provide limit assistance as Evie is an adult, and the police aren’t very helpful as she hasn’t been missing for long enough. With the help of the Uni’s Security Guard and her son, Lauren takes it upon herself to search for her daughter. The search takes them on a journey which is both dangerous and fraught with tension, making some discoveries which Lauren had thought were buried deep and would never resurface.

A compulsive read which gains momentum the more you read. Highly recommended, just don’t start just before bedtime!

The Daughter begins with Lauren Wingfield driving to university to pick up her daughter, Evie, for the Christmas break. Except Evie isn’t there. Evie isn’t answering her phone, her messages are unread, her emails bounce back. Where is Evie?

The Daughter didn’t disappoint. I wanted to solve the mystery so badly but I’ve learned it’s just easier to read on because I won’t guess what’s coming. And I didn’t with this one, either, the twists just kept punching me in the face.
The suspense is brilliantly executed in this tale of a parent’s worst nightmare. T.M Logan’s books get better and better. Every time I pick up a new one, I think it’s the best yet. I love the flashbacks, the multiple POV, the twists. Such a great writer!

I was so excited to read the next T.M. Logan thriller. Scary, terrifying and deeply horrifying, I was not disappointed.

Lauren arrives to collect her daughter Evie after her first term at a London University. When she arrives another student is in Evie's room and has no idea who Evie even is. So begins every parent's worst nightmare. Despite frantic searching there is no sign of Evie and Lauren soon discovers her daughter hasn't been there for a number of weeks.

Fairly early on I thought I had worked out the overall premise of the plot however I should have know better. T.M. Logan is a master at suspense, red herrings, twists, turns and blind alleys and there are no shortage of these in this storyline. Most definitely 'unputdownable' I found my speed of reading and heart rate increasing as the pace rapidly picked up. There are no wasted pages, no padding out, every paragraph is relevant and adds to the sinister realism of the situation. My favourite character is Lucas, Evie's 12 year old brother. I loved how his character developed as the awful events unfolded.

One of my criteria for a five star read is 'Will I remember, in some detail, the characters, plot, twists and feelings I had when reading simply by seeing the book's cover?' The answer in this case is a resounding yes!

Many thanks to NetGalley and Bonnier Books UK for this advanced reader copy in return for my unbiased and honest review
