Praise for Alex Day
‘The Missing Twin is gripping, compelling and heartbreaking. It’s a story filled with anxiety and despair, but there’s always that little ray of hope to give it a little bit of lightness.

I absolutely loved this terrific suspenseful story and highly recommend it’ With Love for Books
