Crime Fiction

Gripping, dark and fresh: the latest thriller from the CWA Dagger-shortlisted author of The Boy at the Door.

Have you seen Lucia Blix?

Lucia went home from school for a playdate with her new friend Josie. Later that evening, Lucia's mother Elisa dropped her overnight things round and kissed her little girl goodnight.

That was the last time she saw daughter.

The next morning, when Lucia's dad arrived to pick her up, the house was empty. No furniture, no family, no Lucia.

In Playdate, Alex Dahl puts a microscope on a seemingly average, seemingly happy family plunged into a life-altering situation. Who has taken their daughter, and why?
