Saving Sophie
by
Sam Carrington
A teenage girl is missing. Is your daughter involved, or is she next?
Your daughter is in danger. But can you trust her?
When Karen Finch’s seventeen-year-old daughter Sophie arrives home after a night out, drunk and accompanied by police officers, no one is smiling the morning after. But Sophie remembers nothing about how she got into such a state.
Twelve hours later, Sophie’s friend Amy has still not returned home. Then the body of a young woman is found.
Karen is sure that Sophie knows more than she is letting on. But Karen has her own demons to fight. She struggles to go beyond her own door without a panic attack.
As she becomes convinced that Sophie is not only involved but also in danger, Karen must confront her own anxieties to stop whoever killed one young girl moving on to another Sophie.

Thank you to NETGALLEY and Harper Collins/Avon for my advance copy in return for an honest review.
Well, well, I was hooked from the very start. The story is told from the point of view of Sophie, her Mother Karen and a DI investigating the case.
Sophie arrives home one Saturday night in a police car and appears very drunk. She goes to bed after questioning by her parents, but she cannot remember anything of what has happened. All she can remember is having drinks at her friend's house and then nothing. The police found her wandering near a main road and said they had a duty of care to bring her home.
Karen texts one of the other Mums (Mother of Amy) as Sophie had been rambling on about Amy the night before. It turns out that Amy is missing. Sophie can still not remember anything of what has happened, despite text messages from friends telling her that her friends Amy and Erin had put her into a taxi.
Sophie then receives a disturbing email from an unknown sender featuring a picture of a girl on a chair. The girl has the same dress on and the same snake tattoo as her missing friend Amy.
Then a body is found. Amy's parents go to identity her, only it is not Amy. It is Erin, Sophie's friend since she was little. Karen had been friends with Erin's Mum Rachel from school, but cannot go to help her as she is battling with agoraphobia.
Sophie goes to work and Amy comes into work too. Amy doesn't appear to want to talk about Erin or the nights events, which Sophie cannot understand.
The plot moves on and Sophie receives more messages and feels she is being stalked.
Karen recognises the email address the stalker is using and the whole story comes tumbling out. Mother and daughter finally become open with each other and learn to trust each other.
The epilogue left me with chills, a brilliant piece of writing.
I would highly recommend this book, the plot is fast paced and easy to follow.
