Daughter, Missing by Jill Childs

Description from Goodreads:

"A mother will stop at nothing to save her daughter...

When Kate Grosvenor’s daughter embarks on a gap year, Kate’s worst nightmare becomes a reality. A frantic call from an American woman reveals that their daughters, traveling together, have gone missing.

Desperate and determined, Kate’s search takes her from London to Europe, and finally to America. What she doesn’t know is that her daughter’s disappearance is linked to a stepson she hasn’t seen in years – a man who was disinherited after his father’s death and now harbours a dark desire for revenge.

As Kate’s past and present collide in a terrifying twist, she must race against time to rescue her daughter from a vengeful stepson’s deadly pursuit. But how far will she go to protect her child when the stakes are this high?"

I haven't read anything by Jill Childs before (I know, where have I been living?!!?) but if this book is anything to go by, I won't be making that mistake in the future.

This is a tense and atmospheric psychological thriller that is full of twists and turns many of them unexpected.  It's written at a steady pace with excellent characters and whilst not all of them are particularly likeable, they are well developed and really interesting.  

The plot is enthralling and had me reading way longer into the night than I should and whilst there are bits that are a little implausible, it didn't ruin my enjoyment of this book and I have no hesitation in recommending it to lovers of psychological thrillers that aren't full of violence and gore.

Thanks to the author, Boldwood Books and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of this absorbing book.
