Description
They placed me in here and threw away the key. I look down at the gown they’ve put on me. I want my own clothes. I don’t know how long I’ve been here.
An elderly woman is found murdered in her own home, and Detective Lottie Parker and her partner Detective Boyd are called in to investigate. When they discover that the victim’s daughter is missing as well, they start to fear for the safety of the whole family…
Two days later as a nearby house is set on fire and with the body count rising, Lottie and her team begin to unpick a web of secrets and lies, as the murders seem to link back to a case investigated by Lottie’s father before he took his own life.
With little knowledge of what really happened to her father, Lottie knows this is a case that could give her some answers. But how much does she want to know? And how far is Lottie prepared to dig to uncover the truth?
The Lost Child is a thrilling page-turner from the bestselling author of The Missing Ones and The Stolen Girls that will have you guessing right to the very last page. Perfect for fans of Rachel Abbott, Angela Marsons and Robert Dugoni.

Thank you to NetGalley and Boolouture for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I was so excited when I saw that this book was coming out. Patricia Gibney certainly did not disappoint. This book took me on a thrilling ride with so many twists and turns, it left me reeling. Unfortunately, the journey was so short as I devoured this book so fast.
Detective Lottie Parker is called in to investigate the murder of an elderly lady and to complicate matters, the victim's daughter has disappeared too. I don't want to say too much about the plot, I don't want to spoil it for anyone. I will just say that it seems like an impossible case with uncooperative characters, leads which don't add up, and characters who seem to have no relation to each other, but it comes together beautifully in the end. Detective Lottie's cheekiness amused me to no end. The book ends explosively and leaves the reader with some questions which I am dying to have answered. Cannot wait till the next instalment.
I highly recommend the series. I suppose one could read this book as a stand-alone, but I think it is best to read the other two books first before this one.
