Darcy vanished thirteen years ago. Today, she’s coming home.
Darcy Drummond was four when she was kidnapped on a crowded beach. A massive police search and media frenzy followed but the girl was never found. Most people gave Darcy up for dead. Or worse.
Then, one fateful night, she walks into a police station. Seventeen years old. A chance to start over.
As the world celebrates Darcy’s return, Margo Martin, journalist and friend of the Drummond family, receives a strange phone call. A call which leads her step-by-step towards a horrifying revelation…
The real reason for Darcy’s disappearance is a long-kept secret. A secret so shocking, so unexpected that it will plunge the Drummond family into a nightmare they will struggle to survive.
Mark Gillespie writes psychological thriller and suspense novels. He’s a former professional musician (bass player) from Glasgow, Scotland who spent ten years touring the UK and Ireland, playing sessions and having the time of his life. Don’t ask though. What happened on the road stays on the road.
He now lives in Auckland, New Zealand with his wife and a small menagerie of rescue creatures. If he’s not writing, he’s jamming with other musicians, running on the beach, watching mixed martial arts and boxing. Or devouring horror and thriller movies.

First, I want to thank Mark Gillespie, Inkubator Books, Zooloo Book Tours, and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.
The Lost Girl written by Mark Gillespie is a storyline that could be ripped from the headlines! Oh this book is every parent's worst nightmare with a totally unbelievable jaw dropping ending!
Mark’s book started out fast paced and quite interesting as Darcy went missing. Obviously, my heart broke for her parents during this time. Then we fast forward in time when both the readers and the parents find out Darcy may be alive. I had just as many questions surrounding her disappearance, what really happened to her, and who had her for all of these years. I eventually got my answers but was not expecting the outcome.
The author broke up the book in four parts with individual chapters in each part. In my honest opinion he could have written each part as a separate book. This way he could focus more on each individual chapter.
Even though I enjoyed this book there were parts of this book that I felt dragged on a little longer than they should have.
