My Daughter's Boyfriend

By: Daniel Hurst

Narrated by: Tamsin Kennard, Harrie Dobby

My daughter thought she had found the man of her dreams. But now, her life is in danger....

When Ellie tells me she has a new boyfriend, I am absolutely thrilled and can’t wait to meet him. She finally seems so happy and in love.

But there’s a catch. Ellie has never met him in person. In fact, he doesn’t even live in the same country. Our home is in England, but Daryl is in Los Angeles.

When handsome Daryl invites Ellie to stay with him at his luxury Los Angeles mansion for a few weeks, I insist on joining her. I need to find out more about the man who has my daughter so enamoured.

Daryl welcomes us into his whitewashed house, complete with a stunning swimming pool and sun-drenched patio. But one morning, I discover a terrible secret in his basement that changes everything. He has been lying to us from the start.

I go to confront him, but Ellie and Daryl are nowhere to be found. I call Ellie’s phone, but there’s no answer.

Has something happened to my precious girl? And will I be able to save her?

An utterly gripping psychological thriller that will keep you up all night from the author of the number one best-selling novel The Doctor’s Wife. If you love Gone Girl, The Night She Disappeared, and The Perfect Couple, you’ll be hooked by My Daughter’s Boyfriend.

Fun to Listen to

It doesn't matter if you figure anything out with this, Hurst does a great job with the writing of the story and really kept me on the edge of my seat a good deal of the time. I liked it!

Gripping, shocking, and well written!

How well do you know someone you meet online?

Dawn's daughter, Ellie met a man online and knows that he is the one for her. When Ellie tells her mother that she has a new boyfriend, Dawn is happy for her but grows concerned when Ellie informs her that they have never met in person. Daryl, the man of Ellie's dreams, lives in Los Angeles and has invited Ellie to come meet him and his father. Dawn and Ellie arrive in Los Angeles, and everything appears great until a discovery is made in his basement that proves that Daryl has been lying from the very start....

I have enjoyed every book that I have read by Daniel Hurst and this one was no exception. I am always drawn into Hurst's books. His storylines are gripping, thought provoking, full of twists and shocking reveals. Traveling from one country to another to meet someone is a big step. Hurst captures the excitement of taking that leap. He also captures the feeling of something not feeling right.

The audiobook was enjoyable and I thought it was very well done. I was drawn in from the very beginning. I wanted to know what was going to happen and how things were going to turn out. This was a fast read, and I didn't want to put this down.

So predictable

Not my favorite Daniel Hurst book , !!! I’ll give book 2 a skip “ My daughters husband “

Really good reader

A bad reader ruins the entire experience and feeling I’ve wasted my time. This is a good storyline, grabs the readers attention. Overall good entertainmen.

Not as great as I expected

Started off great, had potential of being a good story but ultimately fell flat. First four hours are suspenseful and interesting then the rest is predictable and boring.
