What a creepy story! The premise of a child gone missing on a family trip terrifies me, and that’s exactly what happens in this book. What happened to Poppy?!
The story unfolds like a flower, and little by little, we learn more about each character and the secrets they are hiding. I enjoyed trying to figure it out, and there were quite a few surprises along the way!
Such a layered, chilling tale, I’d recommend it to anyone who loves psychological thrillers or suspense.
Fortin really knocked it out of the park with this book – excited to see what she comes up with next!
Holy Smokes. That’s all I can say to start this review off with. Sue Fortin is a new-to-me author. I was browsing for some thriller novels to review and saw the cover of this one. It caught my eye. So, I proceeded to do something I don’t often do. That’s read the blurb. I read the blurb, dropped my jaw, sent it to my Kindle and devoured it. I don’t mean I devoured it in one sitting. It was through a few sittings. Because with this book, I had to keep stopping to process all that I read, to pick the bones, so to speak.
This isn’t your normal psych thriller. This is so much more. Poppy, Neve, Kit, and all the other characters that come to light in this story will have your heart pounding, your hands sweaty and your seat tipping from being on the edge of it for so long through the story. This is a story about a family. Not an ordinary family. A family full of secrets. A family that takes a trip, and has the unexpected happen, and only one person in this book, knows the absolute truth of what happened to Poppy…..and why.
Just when I thought I had it figured out, just when I thought I knew who was getting their way in the story, Fortin through another twist and left me back pedaling to figure it out all over again. That’s the kind of writing that makes a phenomenal thriller novel. So many peaks, only to have so many twists thrown at you to leave you wondering just what exactly is going on and who did it.
By the end of this 5 star thriller, I was ready for another. This book is filled with intensity like I haven’t read in a while. It is, by far, one of the best books I’ve read this year. If you are looking for a novel that will make you sweat, make you mad, make you turn the pages long into the night, then I highly recommend this novel. This is an author who has quickly made me a fan and I absolutely can not wait until another intricately written novel is released by her. Well done, Fortin!

I felt as though I was wanting more from this book and it just didn’t deliver at all. Quite disappointed.
It was silly.
Characters were difficult to like/care about. The motive of the kidnapper was hard to believe. Significant plot twist near the end, although hinted at frequently, still was a major leap from the story progression up to that time.
Easy fast read . Not well written but some twists and turns in the plot . Portrays a dark twisted narcissistic couple that are self serving to the detriment of everyone else .
Easy read and interesting characters and unexpected twists.
First, I want to thank Sue Fortin, Harper Collins Publishers and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.
Schoolgirl Missing is a must-read book by Sue Fortin. She demonstrates to her readers that she is the queen of psychological thrillers. She does this by building up the suspense and hits you middle to the end of the book with the punch. All the twists and turns to get to the big punches were shocking and mind blowing. I never saw them coming. I was intently glued to my kindle needing to know how this book ended. For everything I have mentioned she has become one of my favorite authors in this genre. I would gladly read and review for her again.
This book is dedicated to Sue’s Mom with love.
Kudos has to go to the graphic designer on this cover! It was perfect and spot on for this book. It was actually what drew me to want to know more about the book. That and the title Schoolgirl Missing.
I can’t say enough good things about this book. Each character was written incredibly well. They all had their own personality and had their own secrets of their own. Some characters in their situations really pulled on my heart strings.
I loved how Sue dragged out the story so that we didn’t know all the facts of some of the story line til the end. That made me want to keep reading and not stop the book. That aspect to me in my eyes makes her a genius in this genre.
This was one book I didn’t want to end it was so good. That being said I can totally see this being a Netflix original!! I think it would be a total hit.
