I’m thrilled to be one of today’s stops on the blog tour for ‘The Lost Girl.’
Darcy vanished thirteen years ago. Today, she’s coming home.
Darcy Drummond was four when she was kidnapped on a crowded beach. A massive police search and media frenzy followed but the girl was never found. Most people gave Darcy up for dead. Or worse.
Then, one fateful night, she walks into a police station. Seventeen years old. A chance to start over.
As the world celebrates Darcy’s return, Margo Martin, journalist and friend of the Drummond family, receives a strange phone call. A call which leads her step-by-step towards a horrifying revelation…
The real reason for Darcy’s disappearance is a long-kept secret. A secret so shocking, so unexpected that it will plunge the Drummond family into a nightmare they will struggle to survive.

Review:
If dark, twisty thrillers are your thing, then you need to get this added to your ‘to be read’ list!
This is the first book I’ve read from this author. I loved the sound of the plot and found myself gripped from the first page.
It’s every family’s worst nightmare; the thought of losing a child, presumably kidnapped and not knowing whether they are alive or dead. And yet, for the Drummond family, their nightmare situation becomes even worse when it seems their long lost daughter has been found.
I loved the way the storyline built up possible theories as to who might have been responsible for the kidnapping and how gradually things began to unravel before a chilling climax.
There are lots of potential triggers within this one as the characters each have their own demons to deal with, but it makes for a thrilling read despite the dark themes.
I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for future releases from this author!
With thanks to the author, Zoe at Zoolou’s Book Tours and Inkubator books for the opportunity to participate in the tour.
