What to expect
‘Wow! A stunning, nerve-wracking read. So well plotted with so many twists and turns…it kept me guessing until the very last page!’ – Bestselling author Patricia Gibney
I don't know what happened to my daughter. Only that she's missing – and I was the last person to see her…
My name is Nora Logue. You’ve probably heard of me – most people have.
I am the mother of Daisy Logue. Seven years ago, I took her for a walk in the woods. Only I came out.
I have no memory of what happened that day.
I have tried to rebuild my life. Met a man, had another child – Luca. But I can’t let go of Daisy, or give up hope of seeing her again.
And now, I have the chance to find out what happened to her.
But what if pursuing the truth about my daughter risks my son’s life?
A whiplash-inducing, unputdownable crime thriller from the author of The Nurse, perfect for fans of CLARE MACKINTOSH and LISA JEWELL.

PRAISE FOR IN THE DARK:
‘Stunning writing, superb plotting, and characters that jump off the page – In The Dark is outstanding; her best yet.’ – Andrea Mara
'Dark secrets, dark motives and dark twists galore – seriously, what more can you ask for in a book?’ – M.K. Hill
‘Claire Allan’s voice and ability to keep you gripped to the page are pure magic. Prepare to lose sleep as you work your way through a rollercoaster of emotions, theories, and near-misses. This book is the poster child for taking the old missing child story we all know and flipping it on its head. I couldn’t get enough of the terrifying premise and delicious storytelling. Utterly captivating, this pulse-pounding thriller is one not to be missed. Thriller lovers, get your hands on this one and clear all your plans!
