Summary
Escaping from a madman should have been the end of her nightmare. Instead it was only the beginning....
Lizzy Gardner was just 17 when she was kidnapped by the psychopath known as Spiderman, a serial killer terrorizing her California hometown. Imprisoned and tormented for months, Lizzy narrowly escaped with her life and Spiderman vanished without a trace. But if she thought he would forget her, she was dead wrong.
Fourteen years later, Lizzy is a successful private investigator and self-defense instructor. Wracked with guilt over being the only victim to survive, she's devoted her life to helping others protect themselves from the horrors she endured. But a single phone call brings the terror of the past crashing back. Spiderman has returned and this time, he has no intention of letting Lizzy go. So begins a chilling game of cat-and-mouse, a terrifying, heart-pounding hunt for vengeance that only one will survive.

Thriller / Mystery
An engaging thriller mystery. The tale is (almost) believable in the serial killer genre with some similarities to Scandinavian novels of this kind. The characters are well developed, and the performance is very good if a little breathless at times. This is the first model I've read by this author and I'll certainly go for more. Recommended.

Fantastic story was held to the end.
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I have never read any of this author's books before, but, thought I would try Abducted as it seemed to be popular on Amazon. The story held me to the end and I found that I could not stop listening to discover what had become and Lizzy and what would become of the latest victim. Well worth a listen.

good but could be great
I don’t usually listen to this kind of book and only got it because it was on offer. Saying that I don’t feel that I wasted my money and enjoyed it very much.
I felt that most of the women appeared strong and very self-reliant which is a nice change to the usual kidnapping and assault stories. The plot kept me engaged and needing to know what’s next. So much so that I read it with-in 3 days, a bit of a recorded.
The only complaint I might have is that the ending left me feeling rather flat. This my be because the rest of the book is so fast moving or it might be that everything seemed to be so neatly rounded and finished so fast. A bit like having a steak meal followed by an after eight chocolate instead of a big sticky steamed pud.

Clichéd story cardboard characters, bored narrator
Didn't finish this as I couldn't cope any more. I can't blame the narrator for obviously not being into this book. It doesn't make any sense. Set in the real world but not even a little realistic. The title of this review says it all.

Want a page turner?
If you could sum up Abducted in three words, what would they be?
A page turner!
Who was your favorite character and why?
Hayley was like many if the children/young people that I taught.
What three words best describe Kate Rudd’s performance?
Fast!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I wanted to know more!
Any additional comments?
This book was one to keep interest and moved at a fairly fast pace. How realistic didn't come into it. It isn't a deep read but I should imagine a painful one if you have been involved in any of these types of abuse.

Predictable
I enjoyed this book, however, I worked out who Spiderman was well before the end. It kept me entertained, however, as a thriller it ,didn't thrill me.

Predictable and dull
I really wanted this to be good. I'd had to give up on the book I was listening to before this and needed my faith restored. It sounded a safe bet. In fact, it really should have been good, the concept is good but it's just not gripping. There's little or no tension and I found myself really not caring about any of the characters.

A pity
A good idea for a story, but I have to confess to feeling disappointed. The story is based around the main character building her life back up after being abducted whilst the abductor begins stalking her after a gap of a few years. I expected a bit more suspense and drama, and felt the sentimental side of the book was the main focus and not to my taste. I found I couldn't connect to the main character at all, and although well read felt the style of the narration played up to the sentimentality.
A reasonable book but won't be rushing to listen to it again. Pity.
