Deep-dive into the lives of the parents left grasping for answers after their daughter goes missing in this smart and addictive crime novel we've declared a LoveReading Star Book. Seventeen year old Sophie has disappeared, her parents have abandoned their careers to try to find answers and are desperate to question a suspicious neighbour. Put Imran Mahmood on your list of go-to authors, he creates a whole new perspective to a crime novel, writing in a way that is compelling and feels sharply different. I adored his I know What I Saw which is out in paperback and another Liz Pick of the Month. Human emotion is splashed like graffiti all over Finding Sophie, it bites and burrows under your skin. It is all too easy to imagine the parents torment, and the finely weaved tightrope wire they must balance between right and wrong. Lines became blurred, my heart was swamped, I didn’t know which where to turn, or where the book was going to take me. So clever I just had to include it as another Liz Pick of the Month, Finding Sophie grabbed my hand, pulled me in tight, and didn’t let go. Highly recommended.
A brilliantly compelling domestic suspense from a rising star of the crime fiction world, and the man behind BBC/Netflix smash hit, You Don't Know Me Sophie King is missing. Her parents, Harry and Zara, are distraught; for the last seventeen years, they've done everything for their only daughter. The police have no leads, and Harry and Zara are growing increasingly frantic – and increasingly obsessed with their highly suspicious neighbour. He won't open the door, he won't answer any questions. If they want answers, they're going to have to take matter into their own hands. But just how far are they both prepared to go?
