When a twelve-year-old girl goes missing, a suburban family’s perfect life reveals its dark secrets in this tense psychological thriller.

Life can change in an instant. For Ryan and Karen Lane, it happens on the morning they discover their twelve-year-old daughter’s window open, their beloved Maddie missing from her bed. Police investigate. Suspicions swirl. The Lane family is thrown into turmoil. Then detectives turn their sights on them.

No one is ruled out. Not Karen, with her tragic past, who argued with her daughter. Not Ryan, with his violent streak. Not Maddie’s thirteen-year-old brother, Tyler, who heard voices in her room the night she vanished.

As time goes by and no answers emerge, the Lanes fear that Maddie is gone forever. But when a stunning revelation shocks everyone, the family plunges deep into a world of buried secrets whose revelations threaten the very foundation of their lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a talented author!

Rick Mofina is just my style of a writer. His words evoke images in such a way that I wonder how any author could be so talented. Also, I love the short chapters and the way he write to keep the characters from becoming confusing. We all have read books where a character is introduced on page 15, then pops up again on page 303 and you have no idea who that was (except now this character is critical to understanding the plot). My favorite book of his is Their Last Secret - there were so many unexpected twists. Missing Daughter also had many twists, but one of them was a little over-the-top.

This is the best story by far by Rick Mofina. I loved the twists and turns. So many emotions!! I gave it 4 stars because of the editing. Many a's and the"s left out of sentences. Who says, "Half a year ago"? Isn't it more likely to be "6 months ago'? Maybe just a Southern thing? !

The disappearance of a child is so disturbing and horrifying, and in this story there were also so many unknowns. But in the midst of this there was hope. I think the author told a believable story about two brothers and their families. A credible plot with twists and turns. Good for mystery lovers.

3.0 out of 5 stars NOT HIS BEST
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2019

Rick Mofina is a talented writer and I have enjoyed many of his books. They grab the reader’s interest in the first chapter and don’t let go until the end. Missing Daughter was so slow I almost stopped reading it. I kept on just because it’s Mofina. It got good, really, really good, about three-fourths of the way, lots of suspense and a few twists. Also, the surprise ending made it worth reading.

This book has many suspects and a well-developed plot. It is plausible, every step of the way.

The second half of the book needs some editing.

I loved this book.
Something really bad happened. That's clear.
But who did it is certainly not and not knowing will drive you crazy until you find out at the very, very end.
That's my criteria for a great mystery!

True to form, Rick Mofina has produced another excellent read. A great storyline which had me engrossed. Plenty of twists and "I never saw that coming" moments. Cant wait for Rick's next book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A New Rick Mofina Novel Never Disappoints! Great Story That I Highly Recommend.
Reviewed in Canada on February 25, 2019
Verified Purchase
Upon reading the synopsis and seeing the premise for this story my first thought was that this has all been done before in books such as Linwood Barclay’s “Never Look Away” or even Rick Mofina’s own “Whirlwind” but boy was I ever wrong. The only real commonality among these stories is the missing child as this story is a very suspenseful family drama where everybody is hiding secrets from each other and trying to cover up either real or perceived actions while supposedly trying to protect another family member but mostly trying to cover their own asses. All this is written with Rick Mofina’s fine style which always has me almost shivering while I’m expecting something horrendous to happen probably on the next page. There are some things in this book that prevent me from rating it a 5 star read such as the need for the phone call from Jack Gannon who all Mofina fans will recognize as the lead character from one of the earlier series and I kept waiting for him to get involved but it never happened. Now I did have the perps identified quite early in the story but I really had no clue as to how or why they did their things and I had no idea of the fate of Maddie until that marvelous beagle, Buster, got into action doing what beagles would actually do and I know ‘cause I’ve owned and raised many beagles. The clues were there though like all the little dots on the cell phone’s path for instance. I don’t know if it was just the upstate New York setting but at quite a few times I had to remind myself that I was reading a Rick Mofina novel and not a Linwood Barclay who, BTW, happens to be another one of my favourite authors. However if you look at my profile on Goodreads and check my favourite authors list it is not a coincidence that Rick Mofina holds place number 1. A great read and as usual I’m waiting, impatiently, for Rick’s next release.
