Description
Streaming as THE STOLEN GIRL, a major Disney+ series!
It was meant to be your daughter's first sleepover.
Now it's an abduction.
Lucia Blix went home from school for a playdate with her new friend Josie. Later that evening, her mother Elisa dropped her overnight things round and shared a glass of wine with Josie's mother. Then she kissed her little girl goodnight and drove home.
That was the last time she saw her daughter.
The next morning, the house was empty. No furniture, no family, no Lucia.
In Playdate, Alex Dahl puts a microscope on a seemingly average, seemingly happy family plunged into a life-altering situation.
Who has taken their daughter, and why?
Don't miss the latest glam-noir thriller from Alex Dahl, GIRL FRIENDS – a dark and simmering mystery set on a girls trip to Ibiza.
