The Daughter by T. M. Logan

 

Going to collect her daughter at the end of her first term at university Lauren Wingfield discovers a complete stranger in her daughter's room. No one remembers seeing Evie and the university claims she dropped out weeks ago. All of this is news to Lauren.

You just know that as soon as you see a book written by author T. M. Logan you are in for a treat, a thrill ride filled with unexpected twists and turns. For fans, and new readers, The Daughter, will not disappoint.

Although I'm not a parent it was impossible not to put myself in Lauren's position and feel the joy and excitement of having her eldest child home after her first term at university. Phone calls, text messages and social media posts have been sporadic but Lauren simply put that down to a student lifestyle of studying and partying. The shock and bewilderment of finding a stranger in her daughter's room is completely understandable.

Frustration follows as Lauren can't make sense of the situation. The stranger is adamant it's been his room since the second week of term and the girl in the room next-door doesn't remember Evie. The frustration deepens when Lauren feels that the authorities don't believe her. Determined to find answers, Lauren starts following the few clues available to her. The more she digs, the murkier the situation becomes. The pace of the story never lets up as it becomes a race against time. Lives are in peril and a face from the past reappears as Lauren risks everything looking for answers about what happened to her daughter. 

The Daughter from T. M. Logan will be published on 27th February 2025 in hardback, ebook and audio format. My thanks to NetGalley and Zaffre for a review copy.
