Someone Else's Daughter

Andrea Stewart

Domestic Thriller, Suspense, Psychological Thriller • Feb 23, 2027

Ellie Campbell's life was a public spectacle, every intimate moment from her first period to her first love monetized by her influencer parents. She was a product, her childhood sold in snippets online. So she changed her name, severed ties, and vanished from the digital stage, desperate to reclaim a private existence.
But old habits die hard. From a distance, she still watched. When a chilling detail in her parents' latest video coincides with the disappearance of a family friend, a cold dread forces Ellie back into the spotlight. She rushes home, compelled by a single, desperate need: to protect her younger sister, Olivia.
What she finds is a perfect family facade cracking under pressure. Olivia is gone. Her parents claim she ran away, but Ellie knows better. Olivia would have come to her. As secrets unravel and the search intensifies, a grim discovery shatters any illusion of safety. Ellie must now confront the true cost of her online childhood, where the curated perfection hides a darkness far more sinister than she ever imagined.

Thank you to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for an advanced copy of this title.
Someone Else’s Daughter is told through Ellie's perspective as the story bounces between past and present. The setup hooks you early on with a promising premise, but once the initial intrigue settles the pacing hits a wall and struggles to regain traction. The central mystery gets buried under repetitive flashbacks that fail to move the plot forward, making the midsection feel like a chore to navigate. Instead of building tension, the timeline jumps feel like stalling tactics rather than deliberate narrative choices.
Subplots that should have enriched the character development ended up feeling disconnected from the primary arc. Digressions into Ellie's shoplifting habit and stories about her dog added extra noise without offering any substance or payoff to the core tension. While the eventual twist was solid enough to briefly spark interest, the execution fell flat due to an abrupt conclusion that wrapped up the who and the why far too quickly.
If you like dual-timeline structures and slow-burn mysteries then you may enjoy this book.
