Lucia went home from school with her new friend Josie for a playdate. Later that evening, Lucia' s mother dropped her overnight things round and kissed her little girl goodnight. That was the last time she saw her daughter. Gripping, dark and fresh: the latest thriller from the CWA Dagger-shortlisted author of The Boy at the Door . Have you seen Lucia Blix? Lucia went home from school for a playdate with her new friend Josie. Later that evening, Lucia' s mother Elisa dropped her overnight things round and kissed her little girl goodnight. That was the last time she saw daughter. The next morning, when Lucia' s dad arrived to pick her up, the house was empty. No furniture, no family, no Lucia. In Playdate , Alex Dahl puts a microscope on a seemingly average, seemingly happy family plunged into a life-altering situation. Who has taken their daughter, and why?
