Books like Close to home by Cara Hunter
In the tranquil English town of Oxford, eight‑year‑old Daisy Mason vanishes amid a family costume party. With the clock ticking, Detective Inspector Adam Fawley faces a grim possibility: the perpetrator may be someone within the family circle. As he investigates, he must sift through the family's façade—the mother’s preoccupation with appearances, the father’s guarded composure, and Daisy’s withdrawn little brother—to uncover hidden motives. No witnesses, no clues, only a web of secrets that threatens to keep Daisy forever lost in thin air.
