Mallory's Reviews > Missing Daughter

Another great twisty story from Kiersten Modglin! I give this one 4.5 rounded up. And the half star deduction was only because it was hard to get into the story since I couldn’t connect to any of the characters. I did think Kiersten did an excellent job depicting someone struggling with mental health concerns and how this would impact her roles as a mother and a wife. I did guess what had happened and how it would end but I did enjoy the twist of why. Ginny has struggled with postpartum depression following the birth of her daughter. This has left her daughter and husband much more closely bonded and her struggling to figure out how to play with or connect with her now three year old daughter. On a chance day at the park she meets Alex who is watching her niece and they connect and become friends. When Ginny finds out Alex is a therapist she begs her to take her on a patient and she does (which is highly unbelievable but it happened). Fast forward a few months to Skylar’s third birthday party. The party goes well but the morning after Skylar isn’t in her bed or her room or the house.
