Thirteen-year-old Mia disappears at a time when there is a fire in the neighborhood. Is it a coincidence? Or are the two events connected? The last person to see the girl was her stepmother, who is now being accused by her husband of not paying attention to their daughter. The neighbors band together to search for the missing girl, but they also suspect each other of arson. The police focus their attention on the stepmother and that critical hour when the girl vanished. Was it a staged kidnapping, or something more sinister? And is what everyone originally thought about the family members true? However, the assumptions about the troubled relationship between the stepmother and her stepdaughter could not be more mistaken. The thriller 'Stepdaughter' will particularly appeal to readers of Liane Moriarty.
