My Little Girl by Shalini Boland - Book Review

Book Description

Your daughter is missing. Did someone close to you take her?

Seven-year-old Beatrice has gone missing. Her mother Claire’s whole world has been turned upside down in just one moment and she can’t stop shaking. She’s desperate to find her precious daughter, but nothing about the day she disappeared makes sense…

The mother-in-law: Jill was meant to be looking after Beatrice. She says she didn’t take her eyes off the little girl but her version of events doesn’t add up… Claire has never got on with her, so why should she trust her now?

The husband: He should have been with their only child. Instead, he changed the plans without telling Claire. She didn’t think there were any secrets between them, but maybe she was wrong?

The first wife: Laurel has always been jealous of Claire’s family. Has her husband’s ex-wife taken her daughter?

Which one of them is lying? And who really knows where Beatrice is?

What I Thought

This book is every parent’s nightmare.

Claire’s 7-year-old daughter Beatrice goes missing at a funfair from the care of her mother-in-law Jill. Who I may add is a ditzy light-hearted quirky character who is fabulous in this bleak situation. I love how the author brought out her character and you feel as if you are in her head seeing her perspective.

My Little Girl is deeply terrifying, Claire is frantic with worry about Beatrice’s disappearance, which is turning into an abduction before her eyes. her husband Oliver seems to have his own worries and keeps disappearing to the pub. Her relationship with Jill was strained to start before this happened.

Everyone seems to have secrets and trust levels hit an all-time low. Friendships are tested to the limits and trust me you won’t be able to put this down until you discover the truth about Beatrice’s abduction. I was shocked with the ending and didn’t think it would go that way at all!

Absolutely recommended if you have a few hours to spare – you won’t want to put this down!
