6.1.2023 - My Daughter's Boyfriend

My Daughter's Boyfriend by Daniel Hurst 

Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture Audio for gifting me an audio ARC of the latest thriller by a favorite, Daniel Hurst, and wonderfully narrated by Harrie Dobby and Tamsin Kennard - 4 stars!

Ellie is living at home with mom, Dawn, and is not happy at work or socially.  So when she meets handsome Daryl online and they form a quick attachment, she won't let the fact that she's in the UK and he's in America stand in their way.  She convinces Dawn to let her fly to LA to visit and Dawn agrees only if she can go along.  Daryl lives with his dad, Harvey, in a huge house with a pool and both mother and daughter are smitten.  Until Dawn discovers a photograph in the basement that shows Daryl is lying about a missing young woman.

This audiobook kept me on the edge and I liked the alternating viewpoints of both Ellie and Dawn.  Having two different narrators made things easy to differentiate.  While I thought that Dawn was a bit overprotective of her 24-year-old daughter, parents can totally relate with trying to keep their child out of harm.  Another great book by this author and loved the ending!
