This is not in the same league as Dean Koontz or Jeffery Deaver, however I have to give it to the author for he kept me glued to the story till the end. It was full of intrigue and when I had to stop listening for a while, questions ran through my head and I wanted to get back to listening to it. I also loved the twist towards the end.
I would have liked it if we knew a little more after the incident, I felt it was rushed and one of the characters did something that I found hard to believe because they didn't act like they wanted it before. I felt their need for the thing came out of nowhere. I don't want to say too much because I don't want to spoil it.
I would still recommend it and I would read other books written by this author.
There is a little profanity, moderate violence and sexual content (abuse - the victim tells what happened to her but not in graphic detail).

Not really my type of book but I wanted to know how it ended. I found the narrator a little hard to deal with. As a mother I found the content quite insulting at times.

I did enjoy listening to Jim Selleck, a very narrator

A mother's dying breath to her son tells him he is adopted. Gary starts to look for birth family. With twists and turns all along the way, it goes to show that money does not buy happiness and families can have dark secrets. The grass is not always greener on the other side.

This is a disturbing thriller with an almighty twist! I did not guess any of the story, which is really unusual for me.

The narration was ok but I'm not sure he was right for this story. Just my opinion, but I see him more suited to children's books!

Great thriller!
