Sophie King is missing.
Her parents, Harry and Zara, are distraught; for the last seventeen years, they've done everything for their beloved only daughter and now she's gone.
The police have no leads, and Harry and Zara are growing increasingly frantic, although they are both dealing with it in very different ways. Increasingly obsessed with their highly suspicious neighbour who won't open the door or answer any questions, they are both coming to the same conclusion. If they want answers, they're going to have to take the matter into their own hands.
But just how far are they both prepared to go for the love of their daughter?

The hunt for Sophie taken by each distraught parent is different as they drift apart, riven by their unfathomable grief - and both are ultimately driven to violence. We know from early on that Harry is later in court and Sophie’s body has never been found, but don’t be fooled. These interwoven court scenes change and we are kept in suspense.
We have to wait for the cleverly shifting network of threads to be worked out, but what makes Finding Sophie so satisfying is that these are real people in all their human complexities, not just players in a crime story. Sophie’s deeply loving parents being driven apart by unbearable grief is heartbreakingly real, and the ending (which I won’t give away) is realistically painful.
The narrators are excellent and particularly effective with all the dialogue.
Much more than just a "crime novel"

Both our main characters have had their lives torn apart, and the painful sincerity deepens their characters, but drips of ambiguity and confusion fill the story.
There's little more I can say without giving spoilers away, which I won't do.
The narration is excellent, and the choice to use two narrators works perfectly with this novel.
This book is exciting, pacey, and never stops. Any fan of of Crime and Thrillers will enjoy it, but if you like films such as "Inside Man", "Law Abiding Citizen", "Se7en", and any such taut thrillers you will love this book. You COULD watch 5 films, or you could listen to this ONE book.
