About the book

 

It was meant to be your daughter's first sleepover.
Now it's an abduction.

 

Lucia Blix went home from school for a playdate with her new friend Josie. 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.

In Playdate, Alex Dahl puts a microscope on a seemingly average, seemingly happy family plunged into a life-altering situation. Who has taken their daughter, and why?

MY REVIEW


If you enjoy gripping psychological thrillers then I highly recommend Playdate. As a parent my heart dropped reading this. Even as my kids got older and wanted a sleepover I tried to persuade them to have their friends stay over here as I worry so much. Thankfully when I let my kids sleepover I had complete trust in the other parents and knew them quite well. 


Elisa allows her daughter to have a sleepover at a new friends. When her dad turns up the next day to pick her up she’s vanished along with the family.  


A well written story with some good twists. Read it in a day as I needed to know what was gonna happen next.
