Playdate: a gripping psychological thriller about a missing girl

The latest page-turning thriller from the dagger-shortlisted author of The Boy at the Door and The Heart Keeper.

WHO TOOK LUCIA BLIX? Lucia went home from school with her new friend Josie for a playdate. Later that evening, Lucia's mother Elisa dropped her overnight things round and kissed her little girl goodnight. That was the last time she saw her daughter. The next morning, when Lucia's dad arrived to pick her up, the house was empty. No furniture, no family, no Lucia. HAVE YOU SEEN LUCIA? Praise for the author: “Turns the raw power of maternal feeling into a gripping plot ... The author keeps the reader on tenterhooks with a deft balance of nail-biting tension and pure sympathy for her twisted heroine” SUNDAY TIMES “'Dahl's sharp characterisations make her story feel fresh” SUNDAY EXPRESS “Intriguing and believable ... At once a compelling thriller and a beautiful meditation on grief” JANE SHEMILT “Unsettling, layered, bold, unpredictable, dark. Excellent” WILL DEAN
