Publisher's Summary

Nine years ago her daughter was taken. And now she’s back.

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 best-selling author of The Secret Mother and The Perfect Family. If you loved Gone Girl, The Girl on the Train, and The Sister this book is for you.

Awesome

Addictive from the beginning, did not see the twist coming which is awesome because I usually guess and it ruins the book. I can't wait to read more from this author!

Excellent

First time I have listened to this Author. Found myself getting very annoyed and impatient with the main character, just couldn't warm to her. Definately didn't see the twist coming.

Absolutely Brilliant!!!!

Shalini Boland is an amazing storyteller. I have read several of her books, and really enjoyed them, but The Other Daughter is the best one yet. It is brilliantly read by Katie Villa who brings every character alive. I couldn't stop listening and the twist at the end really blew me away. I wish there was a part two to the story. I'd love to know where Shalini saw all the characters going. Do yourself a favour and buy this book. You won't be sorry.

Enjoyable plot. Brilliant narration.

I very much enjoyed this book and found it difficult to stop listening. The narrator did an outstanding job and made each person come alive in their own distinctive ways. Overall an excellent listening experience.
