Two-and-a-half-year-old Holly is playing happily in a pink plastic playhouse, while her mother Rachel sips coffee and chats with a friend nearby. It should be an ordinary day for all of them. But, in the blink of an eye, it turns into every family’s worst nightmare.
Holly is taken by a stranger and never found.
Nine years later, Rachel is living a quiet life in Dorset. She’s tried to keep things together since the traumatic day when she lost her eldest daughter. She has a new family, a loving partner and her secrets are locked away in her painful past.
Until one afternoon when Rachel meets a new school parent Kate and her teenage daughter Bella. Rachel’s world is instantly turned upside down – she’s seen Bella before. She’d recognize that face anywhere – it’s her missing child.
And she will stop at nothing to get her back…
From the million-copy-bestselling author of The Secret Mother and The Perfect Family, this utterly gripping psychological thriller will have you up all night reading. If you loved Gone Girl, The Girl on the Train and The Sister this book is for you.

The Other Daughter
By Shalini Boland
Review by
Heidi Lynn's Book Reviews
First, I want to thank Shalini Boland, Bookouture and NetGalley
for providing me this book so I may bring you this review.
Psychological Thrillers is my favorite genre to read. This
year alone I have read and reviewed 181 books this year to date. If asked what
my top 5 favorites must read books would be Shalini Boland The Other Daughter
would be on that list! Her storylines were something you would read from the
headlines. However, made them more twisted than you would ever see in the
headlines. She had twists and turns that had my jaw drop. Not to mention the
very ending!
The Other Daughter is dedicated to Shalini’s brave and
beautiful daughter who she loves more than life itself.
The graphics on the book cover is spot on for the theme of
the book. It captures your attention and pulls on your heart strings! Kudos to
the graphic artist on the cover.
Shalini right from the very first line of the book jumped
into the dramatic story. It was an incredibly graphic, intense, gripping
beginning to the book. I loved how she hooked me so tight into the book. There
was a mystery right off the bat as to why she was acting the way she was
acting. You couldn’t stop reading the story. You needed to know.
I am not a Mom but I am a very proud Auntie who loves them
like they are my own. So, my heart ached badly for Rachael. I don’t know what I
would do if anyone took my Brady or Brielle! Shalini did an amazing job pulling
out the characters emotions and actions. At times I wanted to give her a hug.
Shalini does something unique she goes from today to the
past when Holly was kidnapped from Rachael. It is very interesting how they
intertwine.
I did like how there was a character by the name of Heidi in
this book. Rarely authors pick my name. For all the Heidi’s out there thank
you!
There are some major and I mean major twists that are very
twisted in this book. These twists shocked me as I didn’t see that coming.
Shalini is good if she really shocked me!!
This needs to be made into a Lifetime Channel Movie!! This
was made for TV! This is a fantastic book!
