Someone Else's Daughter

A tense,suspenseful thriller in which the estranged daughter of a widely followed Youtube family returns to the home she’s tried to forget when a family friend and fellow influencer goes missing, presumed dead. Ideal for fans of Lisa Jewell and Ellery Lloyd.

Ellie Campbell grew up online: the child of YouTubers, everything from her first period to first boyfriend was put up for the world to pick over, and her family to monetise. Until she grew up. She changed her name. She changed her hair. She barely speaks to her family anymore.

But when she spots some unnerving details in her parents’ videos, and gets the news that a close family friend has gone missing – she decides that she has to go back, to make sure that her younger sister Olivia is safe.

She arrives to a house full of secrets, including one that her parents have kept from the world: Olivia has run away. But Olivia would have come to Ellie if she’d run. Ellie knows it. So where is she? And could it be connected to the disappearance of their neighbour? When a body is found, Ellie is forced to confront the realities of her childhood – and the darkness that lies beneath the perfect façade.
