This review is written with thanks to the publisher for my copy of Finding Sophie.

Blurb:

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?

Review:

I’ve really enjoyed reading books by Imran Mahmood before so I was really pleased to have the opportunity to read and review Finding Sophie. It doesn’t disappoint: it’s fast paced, full of tension and has plenty of unexpected moments. I was totally gripped right from the beginning scene, set in a courtroom, right until the end, as I tried to work out what had happened and how we had got there.

The chapters in Finding Sophie are fairly short and they are alternately written from the perspectives of Harry and Zara. I liked that this helped me to learn more about the characters, particularly as they both deal with Sophie’s disappearance in different ways. It also increases the tension towards the end as we discover what happened.

Imran Mahmood is a criminal barrister and his knowledge of the legal system shines through not just this novel, but everything he writes. I love the way he is able to make what I’m told is quite a lengthy and laborious process appear interesting and gripping. I also found it interesting to learn more about legal processes.

Finding Sophie is absolutely full of twists and turns that kept me fascinated until the end. Although I did guess a few of the twists, there were many more that eluded me and these were brilliantly executed.

I am looking forward to reading much more of this author’s work!

Finding Sophie is available from Amazon.
