Lauren is at her daughter’s university picking her up to take her home for the Christmas break, it is the first time her and Evie have been apart for this long and she is looking forward to seeing her.
But when she gets to the dorm, she is not there, and her phone is disconnected all of a sudden. After speaking to the university, Lauren isn’t getting closer to finding out where her daughter is, she seems to have vanished. Will Lauren find her?

Another page turner from T.M. Logan, I couldn’t put this down and read it in a few days.

Oof this was a right page-turner, I devoured it in about 3 days! If you’re a fan of T M Logan’s style of fast-paced domestic thrillers, then you’ll not be disappointed with The Daughter.

The plot… Lauren is looking forward to picking up her daughter Evie from her first term at university studying Law. She’s not seen her since dropping her off at her halls of residence on her first day. But when she gets there, despite Evie texting her earlier that day, there’s someone else living in her room. Evie is nowhere to be found, and her phone is now dead. What has happened to her?

Now at this point I started to get stressed by some of the university procedures and stuff as someone who has worked at one for a long time - and I had to keep telling myself to shush and that it doesn’t matter that a PhD student would never refer to their thesis as a dissertation. 🤣

But anyway the story quickly moved on from the university setting and I thought I could relax. But of course I could not because the story ramped up into an incredible cat and mouse chase across London as Lauren and her son Lucas start to investigate and delve into the mystery that Evie has become involved in.

There were so many twists and turns I was not expecting - I had no idea what was going on until all was revealed! My only reason for knocking off a star being it was maybe TOO much! But I certainly enjoyed it a lot and struggled to put it down!

I really enjoyed this book. I liked the writing style, and the characterisation was very good. Most of the book is told from Lauren's POV, but I appreciated the occasional chapter from Evie's perspective, it added depth. I was impressed by the writing, in that interactions and dialogue between characters felt natural, as this is a hard thing to get right. The story itself was engaging and held my interest.

I did think the book was a little over-long, cutting it down a bit would have made for a pacier read as I did feel my interest ebbing away sometimes. I did also guess the big twist, but I don't think this impacted my enjoyment too much.

Overall this was a good book and I would recommend it.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for this arc.

T. M. Logan is one of my all time fave authors so I was really excited when I was approved for this arc.
Wow!! This book definitely did not disappoint. Twists and turns I didn’t see coming.
I throughly enjoyed this one and already can’t wait for T. M. Logan’s next book.

10 out 10. Highly recommend

I have read and enjoyed a few books by T.M. Logan and this was just as enjoyable. A family thriller that grips from the start and is a real page turner. You will be invested after the first chapter and will be hooked and eager to find out what has happened. An excellent thriller that I highly recommend.

Where has Lauren’s daughter gone? Evie went to university and at the end of her first term she’s no where to be found when Lauren arrives to collect her.
Evie is missing and Lauren can’t get in touch with her. The police don’t appear interested and then another parent connects as her daughter has also gone missing.
It’s a desperate race that becomes dangerous to find Evie. Is she even alive?
There were some great twists in this book. A book that was very well written and well worth the five star review

Big fan of T.M. Logan, I enjoyed this book but less than previous ones. I found Lauren made lots of strange choices, and despite all she was going through she was always leaving Lucas either on his own or with relative strangers. He also seemed pretty savvy for a 12 year old. Got real dark towards the end, but it definitely kept me reading.

Being a fan of TM Logan, I was excited to be approved for his new novel The Daughter.

For those familiar with his previous work, The Daughter doesn't represent a move away from his standard novels which work well. That thriller with a family/domestic dimension works so well in previous books and again here.

His novels, as always, start with a great hook. In the first chapter, we follow Lauren who is on her way to pick up her daughter Evie from University after her first semester. When a stranger answers Evie's door and has no clue as to who Evie is, Lauren finds herself with very few people to turn to as the University and Police do not appear to have any interest.

With her mother's intuition in full flow, Lauren embarks on a dangerous journey to find out exactly what happened to Evie.

As I say, this was definitely a page turner and once you read that first paragraph, you will be desperate to know just what happened to Evie so cancel your plans and get ready to stay up all night saying 'just one more chapter'

Thanks to Netgalley and Bonnier Books UK | Zaffre for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

T.M Logan is one of my favourite authors, so I was super excited to read this new book. It certainly didn’t disappoint! I loved the plot and was drawn into it quickly and was kept guessing throughout.
This really is a must read and is screaming to be made into the next tv drama.

A great, enjoyable read from this author. Always has a gripping plot. Thanks Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book. Will definitely look forward to reading the next one.

I've been a fan since T M Logans' first book,and each book has just got better and better, and this one is my favourite so far.
Told through multiple POV.
Yet again, the author shows his ability to write a fast-paced domestic thriller that keeps the reader held till the very end.
This is a solid read with a plausible storyline,a buried family secret builds the tension, and when the reasoning behind the mystery is revealed, it's very clever.
A perfect read for lovers of a perfect gripping thriller.
Thanks to Netgalley and Bonnie Books for the ARC.

4.5 stars - I have read every one of T. M Logan's books and this is one of his best yet. Lauren turns up at the end of the first university term to collect her daughter and finds out she isn't there anymore, and hasn't been for a while. What I like about T.M. Logan's books is that he knows how to unwind a riveting plotline, slow enough that you are anxious to know what is happening but quick enough to keep you engaged. This one had quite a few twists that I didn't see coming and I enjoyed the ending. I also really liked how most of this one is set in and around London (most of his books have been based in North England) so I had a better sense for lots of the places in the book. Overall, a really great read that I sped through in about 24 hours and would definitely recommend.

As with all his books this is a fast paced thriller which kept me gripped. I read it in a day and loved it.

I definitely did not see the twist coming either. Looking forward to his next book already.

Lauren is excited to pick her daughter, Evie, up from university, having not seen her for a while. Only when she knocks on her daughter’s door a stranger answers and says he doesn’t know Evie. Soon Lauren learns that she hasn’t been there for weeks, so where could she be?

I always love a T.M. Logan thriller so when I saw The Daughter I knew I had to read it immediately. This one certainly lives up to expectations! Even though I have read a number of missing person thrillers, this one had me hooked straight away and had a unique spin on this trope. The author shows us how a thriller should be written by being packed full of suspense, cliff hangers and red herrings, while slowly introducing new clues to help solve the mystery.

The character’s are well written and it is easy to get a sense of how they are feeling and their terror. I especially enjoyed Lucas as a character. The book is fast paced through out and I had a constant sense of unease. I never found myself bored and really enjoyed all the little twists and turns that built up the mystery, while keeping up the suspense.

I had to force myself to stop reading at one point as I knew I had to sleep but the irony was that I couldn’t sleep as I could not stop thinking about the story, while also trying to decipher the puzzle. Even though I guessed some idea of where the story was going, this did not detract from my overall enjoyment and there were some surprising moments.

I would sum this up as a compelling, gripping thriller, which could be terrifyingly real. Just make sure you have nothing else on the day you pick this up as you won’t be able to put this down. 4.5 stars rounded up. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this copy in return for an honest review.

My thanks to Bonnier Books and NetGalley for for a copy of “ The Daughter “ for an honest review.

I got an early Christmas present this year when I was given the chance to read , and give my opinion on , this latest book by T M Logan , one of my favourite authors..
I regularly recommend his books when asked for suggestions for a good thriller, and have had very positive feedback from this.
His work is consistently excellent , well written and suspenseful, and his characters are well written and believable.
I really struggled to put this book down as I got so absorbed in it and I read it in two sittings.
Very highly recommended and can’t wait for his next release !

Amazing! Great read! Captivates you from the start. Exciting storyline! I have read most of T.M Logan's books and this is a great addition.

When Lauren arrives to pick up Evie from Uni and finds she isn't there , Lauren sets out to find her... But where is she and what has happened to her..

This is a qucik pacy read with twists and turns that satisfied me as a reader.

It is an edgy read and Laurens turmoil and distress can be felt by the reader. I actually held my breath at times..

I loved this book the author is a favourite of mine and never disappoints

A fast paced read and even though I had an idea vaguely what happened to Evie, it didn’t take away from how much I enjoyed the story, this is my first time reading anything by this author and it was a good one to start with.

I’ve loved everything I’ve ever read by T M Logan but this has to be one of my favourites! Another absolute masterpiece that will have you on the edge of your seat to the very end! A rollercoaster of twists and turns that will leave you speechless!
Thanks so much to NetGalley and the publishers for my ARC

Yes yes yes, Mr Logan stand up and take a bow. This is a phenomenal masterpiece that I have LOVED! The Daughter is a cancel all plans and devour kinda book.

This is a brilliant read from the beginning. The twists just keep on coming and I lost count of how many times I became speechless.

We meet Lauren, mum of two who is picking up her daughter from uni for the holidays. Only, Evie isn’t there and we follow Lauren on a dark journey to bring her daughter home. That is, if she can find her- Evie’s phone is not in use, emails bounce back.

My heart has raced, my pulse pounded and Logan had me so caught up in this that the world could’ve crumbled around me. I was captivated and had no clue how this was going to unfold.

I loved every moment of this book. It was unpredictable, gripping and a complete masterpiece. I’ve read many books by Logan and they get better and better. This is definitely my favourite to date.

This is exciting and utterly compelling. Logan has created a book that is action packed, perfectly paced and unlike any in the genre I’ve read previously.

This was completely engrossing and addictive. The Daughter is definitely a DEAR (drop everything and read) book. This is one of those books that is worthy of all the praise and recognition. It’s a book that should be on everyone’s TBR.

This is a must for the TBR. I’ll be recommending this to anyone and everyone who will listen.
