Wow what a read!… I was up all night reading this… An absolutely gripping psychological thriller that will keep you guessing until the last page… Full of mystery and suspense with twists and turns to keep you on your toes, I was completely hooked… Gives you goosebumps

My first experience of Shalini Boland, but wont be my last! I thoroughly enjoyed this. A well written story that will keep you reading all night long!

It's always such a treat reading a book by this author, because each book I have read so far has captivated me. So I don't expect anything less now. You might think this is a bit presumptuous, but I am convinced my feeling is spot on.

Jill, the grandmother and Clare, the mother take turns in telling the story, but the author also slips in a few small chapters where the culprit shares some thoughts.

I have to admit this person's name was on top of my list of suspects, but the author managed to cause confusion in my head. I did not budge though, trusting my instinct and I could hardly believe it when, for once, I was right. Woohoo. :)

This was such an entertaining read and keep in mind that it's not over till it's over...

Sometimes you have your future all mapped out, but when it all goes down the drain, you are driven to take desperate measures...

Splendid book. 5 stars

Thank you

Gosh, I am so over books with the kidnapping of a child. But, I gave it a whirl because of Boland. It did not disappoint. It actually was a VERY good thriller. 4 stars

I have read a few from the writer which I really enjoyed but this book didn't come close to others.
Very slow,drag and way too boring.
For the very first I committed a sin of going to end chapter even before reaching the mid way .
So now you know what to do with it .

Thank you to the publisher and @NetGalley for the #gifted copy of the book.

Ollie and Claire Nolan are facing every parents worst nightmare. Their daughter has disappeared from the local fair she was attending with her grandmother, Jill. No one saw her leave. There are search parties and police question the fair workers but no one has seen Bea. Is it the ex-wife Laurel or maybe Philip, the neighbor who lives with his mother? Is it the best friend or a client of Claire’s? Can Ollie and Claire’s marriage survive?

This was a solid read and kept me turning the pages. It was fast paced and although I figured out #whodoneit, I still kept reading.

The book was an entertaining and interesting read, and another killer offering by a talented author. Unfortunately it was quite easy and quick to figure out who was the baddy, but the rest of the book you keep on reading to see why they did what they did! I will continue to read novels by this author.

I love Shalini Boland’s books and writing style! This one didn’t disappoint. As the search for Beatrice continues family secrets start to unravel.

I found this book to be enjoyable and suspenseful. I finished this in 2 nights. I am looking forward to the next suspenseful thriller from Shalini.

Thank you for the ARC!

Another fantastic book by Shalini Bowland, My Little Girl had me hooked and wanting to keep reading, and I never even could of guessed the ending!

As always a good read. The story keeps you guessing all along with its twists and turns.. Look forward to the next book.

Another cracker from the author. I can always read her books in a single setting as I'm just so engrossed from the very start. This is no exception.

Shalini Boland is a new-to-me author, but I will be looking for future books from her. Wow!! This was a thriller that kept me up way past my bedtime reading and I just couldn't wait to get to the end. Keep writing thrillers like this and you have a fan for life!!

A good book that I enjoyed reading, it was easy to read and had some suspense about it which was good. When your child goes missing you realise who really cares, who you can trust and how it can change you as a person. I thought the relationship between Beatrice's mother and Grandma was explored very well. It's a tricky relationship at the best of times, let alone when the grandmother is looking after her when she goes missing.

Seven-year-old Beatrice has gone missing. Her mother Claire’s whole world has been turned upside down in just one moment and she can’t stop shaking. She’s desperate to find her precious daughter, but nothing about the day she disappeared makes sense…

It’s fast paced and an easy read. However, it gets slightly predictable towards the end.

Thank You NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC!

Everyone should read books written by Shalini Boland! And luckily for us, she has quite a few published with Bookouture and every one of them is a taut, suspenseful read. My Little Girl is just like that with the suspense building with every page until a big twist at the end.

Shalini Boland is one of my favorite authors. I read everything she writes. This one didn’t disappoint. In true Boland fashion this one was full of twists that kept me guessing and turning pages till the end.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the eGalley. All opinions are my own.

Loved this book. Amazing read fill of twists that kept me guessing. Love this authors writing style & would highly recommend this book to anyone.

This book was compulsive . I didnt predict any of the twists and turns. What a page turner. It kept my interest the whole way through. I cant wait to read your other books.

My Little Girl was another great book by by Shalini Boland, I was hooked from the first page and read in one sitting. With twists and turns throughout and a great ending I was definitely not disappointed. Already looking forward to her next book as I know it will be fab.

While there are many books out there with a plot line around child abduction, My Little Girl is well able to hold its own. For one, it keeps you guessing. There are a few potential perpetrators presented to the reader yet the true abductor is not obvious. Even better, the diversions are natural and not obvious, outrageous red herrings.

There are instances where the characters annoyed me, but overall I enjoyed them all. I certainly appreciated that Claire and Ollie aren’t the married couple that follow the same plot line once the child is abducted. You know what I mean, violent arguments, affairs, etc. However, it is Jill, the mother-in-law, who stands out for me. Yes, I find her the most annoying character but the author has done a great job of portraying an aging widow eager to be involved in her granddaughter’s life but feels pushed inside. Additionally, we also see through Jill the loneliness and financial hardships that those at retirement age often experience.

However, to be completely honest, there were things that took My Little Girl from a 4 to a 3-star book for me. I felt that the first half of the book was a little repetitive and there were instances where the characters rambled and the text could have been shortened. Also, Ollie played a big part in the story and it would have been interesting to see things from his point of view.

Nevertheless, My Little Girl is a good read.
