In this thrilling standalone novel from the internationally bestselling author of the Frieda Klein series, a woman´s frantic search for her missing daughter unveils a nefarious web of secrets and lies.
Nina Landry awakens on her fortieth birthday, anticipating a day filled with excitement. She, her new boyfriend, and her two children are taking a trip--leaving their home on Sandling Island, off the coast of England, for a dream vacation. As soon as her fifteen-year-old daughter, Charlie, returns from a sleepover, they can get ready to leave.
But Charlie doesn´t come home at the expected time. Nina can´t believe of all days, Charlie has chosen this day to be late. As minutes and then hours tick by, Nina´s annoyance soon changes to concern, and then to a chilling certainty that something terrible has happened.
The police insist there´s no reason to worry--yet. Teenagers are unreliable, impulsive. Nina always thought she and Charlie had a solid, trusting relationship, but seeking out Charlie´s friends for clues to her whereabouts makes her reconsider. How well does Nina know her daughter, really? How well can a parent ever know a child? And will everything Nina doesn´t know--about Charlie, her neighbors, even the friends and family closest to them--prove fatal...?
Losing You once again proves that Nicci French is at the height of their storytelling powers in a clever, mind-bending thriller that has readers guessing at every twist and turn.
