I loved the storyline idea that Imran Mahmood had for this novel. It fell a little short for me. The pacing was slow and felt stagnant. There were times where I lost interest and had to keep rereading pages. The twists were exciting, but then that feeling immediately went away. I will still read Imran Mahmood’s books, this one just didn’t work for me. Thank you Imran Mahmood, NetGalley and Bantam for this digital arc.

A very intriguing story about a family that is torn apart by the disappearance of their daughter, Sophie. Harry and Zara are devastated by her disappearance and things turn ugly. I thought this had a good story line, but didn’t like the ending very much.

I thought this one’s was just okay I felt it was more family drama than thriller and just didn’t hold my interest.
Thanks for letting me read and review this book to Netgalley and the publisher

How far would you go for the truth?

Two parents conduct an increasingly desperate search for their missing daughter, in Finding Sophie by Imran Mahmood that is equal parts breakneck thriller and compelling family drama.

The story is a sad subject, being reminded how easily children can be groomed. The story was a bit slow in several parts. It did have some good twists and drama.

Just an okay read for me.

Thank you NetGalley and Random House for this ARC of Finding Sophie.

•Finding Sophie tells the difficult story of two parents after their teen daughter goes missing. They believe they know who took her, and they will do anything to make sure they’re right…

•In my opinion, Finding Sophie was a little slower of a read than I’d normally like. I felt like the storyline was great, but I almost lost interest halfway through.

•Finding Sophie will go on sale on March 5, 2024!

Imran Mahmood slowly builds the tension in this whirlwind story of a parent's worst night mare.
As we learn that Harry and Zara's 17 year old daughter has been missing, we are also given a front row seat to their POV and their train of thought as they both become more and more convinced that the police are not helping as much as they can nor taking their own clues they uncover seriously.

It is very clear however, from Harry's progress in connecting with everyone on all of the surrounding blocks that there is one house hiding something. Someone lives at #210 and both parents begin to believe without a doubt that the answer to where Sophie is lies inside. Twisty, thrilling and realistic - a perfect thriller! #randomhouse #Findingsophie #imranmahmood

3.5 stars. This book felt very formulaic and stilted. It was an okay read, but the flow was just not there.
