Reviews
‘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 love the way Alex Day balances grief, unexpected situations and the idea the future will be better. She kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I absolutely loved this terrific suspenseful story and highly recommend it’ With Love for Books

Two women, two stories
The Missing Twin is a story of two women, Edie and Fatima. Each different to the other. Edie,a woman from Western Europe, working at a Mediterranean resort enjoying the sun sea and male attention. Fatima couldn’t be further from Edie, she’s a widow with twins on the refugee trail to a better life.
I loved the way the chapters alternated between these two women’s stories as Fatima continues her journey to Europe and Edie who is searching for her missing twin Laura after she arrives unannounced and vanishes after one night. My heart was tugged in so many ways as I read each story. I was heartbroken for Fatima, willing her and her children to make it to Europe. As Edie’s search continued, I became more and more worried for her state of mind, she became more erratic and I do like an unreliable narrator!
I really didn’t know where the story was going as it developed. The author kept me totally in the dark but the final third of the book ramped up the speed and gripped my full attention as the story climaxed.
Many thanks to Killer Reads and Netgalley for my copy of “The Missing Twin”.
