Somebody's Daughter
by David Bell
In this pulse-pounding novel of psychological suspense from the USA Today bestselling author of Bring Her Home and Since She Went Away, a man must save the life of a little girl who just might be his daughter....
When Michael Frazier's ex-wife, Erica, unexpectedly shows up on his doorstep, she drops a bombshell that threatens to rip his family apart: Her ten-year-old daughter is missing--and Michael is the father. Unsure whether this is the truth but unwilling to leave the girl's fate to chance, Michael has no choice but to follow the elusive trail of the child he has always wanted but never knew he had.
After Michael departs, his wife, Angela, learns shocking news about Erica and fears for the safety of both her husband and the endangered girl. When a stranger, a man who claims a connection to Erica and her missing daughter, knocks on the door, Angela is drawn out into the night--and deep into the tangled web of Michael's past....
Over the course of one night, lies that span a decade come bubbling to the surface, putting Michael, his wife, and his whole family in jeopardy. And as the window for a little girl's safe return closes, Michael will have to decide who can be trusted and who is hiding the truth....

Momma Says: 5 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Somebody's Daughter gives us a day in the life of its secretive characters. Not just any old day, but a day when not only a little girl's disappearance but her very existence is turning everyone's world upside down. The whole story takes place over one day in the search for young Felicity, but there are years of secrets revealed little by little. David Bell never fails to impress me with his talent for creating intense situations, and this one was no different. From the time Erica rang Michael and Angela's doorbell, I was hooked. Everybody's hiding something, and as these wonderfully done characters race to find Felicity, not much remains hidden. Who is Felicity's father? Is she really even Felicity? Who knew about her and who didn't? And most of all, what does it all have to do with her disappearance? The more I read, the more I was drawn in and absolutely had to know the answers. All in all, Somebody's Daughter is another gripping read from this author. It's full of intensity, suspense, and deceit. This one is a perfect example of trust no one and suspect everyone, because they're all hiding something, be it past secrets or present.
