The school trip: a completely gripping psychological thriller with a killer twist - miranda smith

They should have been watching.

But my little girl is gone.

On this crisp October day, the class of six-year-old children are wrapped up warm in gloves and coats for their trip to a local farm.

They giggle as they stroke the animals and search for the perfect Halloween pumpkin, and as I watch my daughter Claire race off with her friends, the pink ribbon in her hair bouncing, I breathe a sigh of relief.

Its been so hard since my husband died and my sweet little girl deserves to be happy.

But as the sun sets and the teachers gather the children, Claire is nowhere to be seen.

We call the police and frantically scour the fields and playgrounds, my heart breaking as I cry out Claires name.

And then a detective shows me a video: my daughter, skipping away from the farm, holding hands with an adult in a bulky coat, their cap pulled down low.

My blood turns to ice.

Claire would never leave with a stranger.

Whoever took her must be someone I know.

But who could want to punish me this badly? Is it linked to the night I refuse to think about-the terrible night my husband died? Did my mistakes put my baby girl in danger?Can I save her by finally facing the past?Or will I lose her forever when the truth comes out? A brilliantly twisty thriller that will have you gripped from the first page to the final reveal.

Perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn, Ruth Ware and Lisa Jewell.
