An excellent read for any and all readers! Author comes at you with both barrels and knocks you out of your shoes! Great job fleshing out all the characters. I give this book FIVE stars! Definitely recommend!

I was gladly surprised when I saw this book. I read some books of JD Kirk and always love them. This one is ok.
The story goes well, but the end was disappointing. Therefore, it is just 3 stars and not more.
It is an easy written story and it was good, so it's certainly not all bad. Not at all. I was enjoying myself, but then it is a bummer if the end isn't as great as you expected.
Overall, it's a good story with a bit of flat end...

My Daughter is Missing is a tense and captivating psychological thriller that plunges readers into the heart of a parent's worst nightmare. The disappearance of nine-year-old Hollie sparks a frantic search filled with suspense and fear, as the protagonist races against time to uncover the truth. The emotional depth of the journey and the weight of past secrets create an intense atmosphere, while the pacing keeps the tension high throughout. Though the plot occasionally slows, the gripping twists and the raw, driven determination to find Hollie keep readers engaged until the satisfying conclusion. A must-read for fans of suspenseful and emotional thrillers.

A fan of this author and all his work, so was delighted to be able to read this stand alone novel! This book featured some very strong, believable characters who were all connected! I enjoyed the chapter format and it really did have me guessing right up to the end.

Wow this one is insane. It took me a second to wrap my head around the reveal at the end. I loved that the mom and sister worked to find Holly. It was interesting how many people were involved in Holly's disappearance. I would also love to know about the before of the sisters and Holly. I think that would be an interesting read as well. Overall a great physiological thriller that you will definitely want to read.

A departure for JD Kirk from his detective stories. This involves Elizabeth trying to find her daughter who has gone missing after a school Halloween disco. There were lots of twists and turns, false leads and blind alleys in this book. It was well written and compulsive. I did not expect the ending in any way, as psychological thrillers tend to follow set patterns. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a thrilling read. Well done outstanding. With thanks to the author, Bookouture and Netgalley.

ARC read.
This is my first book by JD Kirk, and it certainly didn’t disappoint.
The author takes a parent's worst nightmare and turns it into an exhilarating journey full of unexpected twists and turns. The dynamic between Elizabeth, the protagonist, and Sasha adds an intriguing layer of mystery, and the plot surrounding their search for Elizabeth’s daughter kept me hooked from beginning to end. While the writing style is simple and easy to follow—different from what I typically read—I found it just as captivating. A cleverly crafted thriller.
If you're into wild plots and
mysterious endings then I
reccomend this book.
I thank NetGalley and
Bookouture for the chance chance to read and review My Daughter is Missing.

Seductive and twisted. Highly recommended! Readers, find some quiet alone time to settle in with this one because you won't stop reading until you've turned the final page. Highly recommended to fans of mysteries, suspense and thrillers.

This is a very suspenseful book with lots of twists and turns. What a rollercoaster of a page-turner! What a twist!

I read this on a plane trip and it made the 3 hour plane trip disappear as it was so much fun to read (the premise and the twists were unbelievable but worked well). I have read several books by this author and they are always interesting - pure escapism.

I started this full of hope as I have enjoyed the jack logan serieswritten by the same author, however this left me wanting. I didn't particularly warm to the mother or the vile PTA crowd which always makes reading more of a chore. However it soon was in realms of totally unbelievable, and working in a primary school this is usually my gripe where a school setting is concerned. A school with a fence a woman could hop over? An open door at night? A janitors room full of chemicals, unlocked? Security cameras everywhere with a monitor which is accessible to anyone? Come on, please. Schools usually don't even have enough money for glue sticks.
As a side note, the missing daughter is 9 and has an iPad etc but the cover shows a much younger girl in a toddler swing! Misleading.

I received this book from Netgalley for an honest review.

I have read this Author's books before and i really enjoyed them. I Was really excited when I got approved for this one and I'm so glad I did. I couldn't read it fast enough. An utterly amazing read with lots of twists and turns. I'm giving it 4.5 stars as I would of liked to know things that weren't explained in parts. But a great thriller and i will be recommending to members of the plot thickens book club on facebook and Instagram.

4.5 stars 🌟

I have read all the DCI Logan books by JD Kirk. They are dark, gritty, with a touch of humor, fast-paced and so well-written that I can't turn the pages fast enough. So you can imagine how excited I was to see something new, and different, by this author come up on netgalley. Was it bad? No. Was it great? Eh, not really. I had figured it out pretty early on what the "twist" was, so the ending was no big reveal or surprise. It was fast paced and event thought I had it figured out, I read the whole book. Would I recommend it? Sure. It's an easy read, but I like his Logan series way better.

Thank you #netgalley and #bookouture for the eARC.

This book is a gripping psychological thriller that showcases Kirk's ability to master multiple genres. It is a compelling mystery surrounding the disappearance of Hollie. Set against the backdrop of a small Scottish town, the story unravels with twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the very end. JD Kirk masterfully crafts a narrative that pulls you in from the first page and doesn't let go.

This was my first J.D.Kirk novel. The suspense is there from the very first page. I had a ton of questions which is why I chose to keep reading. I wanted to”My Daughter Is Missing” to be a little more realistic. At times, Elizabeth (Hollie’s Mom) really got on my nerves.

This was an OK read. My opinion is mine alone and I encourage other readers to check it out.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this eARC!!

This book was absolutely captivating and left me in awe! I GOBBLED this up!!!
The plot was incredibly clever, with unexpected twists at every turn. This is my first read by this author, and I’m officially a fan!

My Daughter is missing is a wild fast paced read that trying to guess what did happen to Elizabeht's daughter and who is behind it all.

Elizabeth's daughter goes missing from the school Hallowe'en party and when Elizabeth receives a text saying confess to what she did if you want to see your daughter again.

It's a parent's worst nightmare just having your child missing but that text takes it one step further.

Her only ali is her estranged sister who to her credit does come and help.

Twists and turns galore which I followed carefully but still I did not figure things out.

J.D. Kirk masterfully leads the reader on a wild roller coaster journey that will have you holding your breath.

Grab your copy of My Daughter is Missing and prepare yourself to read non stop the very last page.

Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for the privilege of reading and reviewing My Daughter is Missing.

This book had me flying through for the longest time. I found it exciting and interesting. It was surprising and had me fully engaged. But the end totally fell flat for me. I still have so many important questions about how the daughter was taken, and whose POV was the last chapter. Really loved it until the end.

J D Kirk the author of the many excellent DCI Logan and Bob Hoon books now turns his hand to writing as a woman in his new book My Daughter Is Missing! As a great fan of the aforementioned series I was eager to see how this panned out. My initial thoughts on seeing the cover and the title was Oh no Barry's sold out!! I couldn't have been more wrong. This novel is very clever and an absolute hoot! I read it in one sitting putting my (and my family's) life on hold until it was finished. The author's wicked sense of humour is in there as well as a cracking story with as many twists and turns as a big dipper. I hope other readers enjoy this as much as I did and J D Kirk gets the recognition he deserves as a very talented writer.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read an advance copy. All opinions are my own.

A superb stand-alone thriller from J D Kirk. When her daughter goes missing after a school Halloween party, Elizabeth panics. She can't involve the police as she has too many secrets of her own and too much to lose.
This is a gripping and engrossing read with some unexpected twists. Very entertaining.
