About this ebook

You only let her go for a second… Now she’s gone.

 

Erika Rice is in an elevator with her four-year-old daughter Alice when it stops on the wrong floor and her little girl runs out. The doors close before Erika can follow, and the daughter she loves more than anything is suddenly nowhere to be seen.

 

Erika can’t bear the thought of her daughter in danger or afraid, and will do anything to get her back. But with no sign of Alice, Erika has no idea where to begin.

 

The residents of the apartment block claim not to have seen anything, but Erika realises someone’s lying to her – and that there’s something darker at play.

 

How could a four-year-old disappear into thin air?

 

A gripping and addictive psychological thriller that will have you holding on tight to the ones you love. If you enjoyed Behind Closed Doors, Silent Child and I Let You Go, you won’t want to miss The Day I Lost You!

This is a parent's worst nightmare. Taking her daughter to where her father lives in order to pick up a doll she had left there, Erika Rice gets on an elevator. Something happens, the elevator stops and young Alice jumps across the partially open door and promptly disappears. Erika is beside herself with worry. Where did her daughter go? She takes the stairs and run downstairs hoping to find help. The man at the desk says he will call the police for her. But does he really? A man named Alan says he is the building's maintenance man and he will help her look for Alice. But he also disappears, after Erika learns he really isn't the maintenance man. This is the story of Erika's frantic attempts to find her daughter. Alternating chapters jump back to when Erika was still married, and became pregnant to the break up of her marriage when Alice was 6 months old. Throughout this story, the reader can feel Erika's fear and angst, wondering what has happened to her daughter ... who took her. And then there's the rumor that another man on the same floor where the girl disappeared is an ex-convict. This is a fast-action book, and even though some of it comes across as a bit predictable .. the ending is an explosive surprise that not only took my breath away, but I never ever saw it coming. Many thanks to the author / Bookouture / Netgalley for the digital copy of this psychological thriller. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

This was a good easy short read... Kept me intrigued through out and then had one hell of a twist... Annoyed the hell out of me the over use of the words Bunny and Honey... 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤣🤣 I not quite sure I fully understand the ending I mean are we meant to just guess who's telling the truth and who isn't... Very abrupt ending after all that and it certainly gets you thinking... It's 4 stars from me 🌟🌟🌟🌟🤗👍
