Summary

What’s the life of your child worth?

It’s every mother’s nightmare - the abduction of her baby.

That’s how it starts for Erin Vogel when she is attacked and left unconscious in her apartment. When she awakes it is to find that Georgia, her six-month-old daughter, has been taken.

But Erin is given a chance to get Georgia back. At an unthinkable price. Like most mothers she has always said she would do anything for her child. Now the strength of that bond is about to be put to the ultimate test.

And when her actions arouse the interest of a certain Detective Callum Doyle, one thing is inevitable: a confrontation that will be as explosive as it is unforgettable.

From the highly acclaimed author of Pariah, The Helper, and Marked comes a nerve-shredding novel that questions the line we draw between good and evil.

Best one yet!

I really enjoyed this book, have loved all the Callum Doyle series, but preferred this as I actually quite liked Doyle in this story - whereas I couldn't find any redeeming qualities in the previous books!

a good twist makes you twist and shout

You have to accept the story as presented and follow the events as they unravel, like a magic trick you follow the magician and the sly to get the benefit of the trick the wander of of the magic that you know is not magic, but you still enjoy it. If this was a movie this would be a B movie but a very good B movie one of those directed by Brian De Palma (Carrie, Dressed to Kill).
Fast paced, and entertaining, a bit of gore and lots of violence, good character and dialogue in a modern noir style.
well acted, and produced.

Excellent

What did you like best about this story?

A twist from the ordinary. This is a bit different. Takes you to dark places you wouldn't normally explore.

What does Nick Landrum and Jennifer Woodward bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Excellent narration bringing the characters to life.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Not far off. I really wanted to know what happened next and had to listen in only a few sittings.

Any additional comments?

This was a really good listen. Can't quite describe it as gripping, but it's not far off. Really interesting characters and a brilliant intertwined story. Really enjoyed it.

Predictable story

Overall the book was entertaining and the narration good, however it was relatively simple to guess what the conclusion would be.

Worth sticking with

Not easy to get into - the narrator's voice to me sounded dated but I persevered and somehow the voice became hypnotic.

Twists and has a plausible but unforeseen crescendo that made me stay awake listening through to the end.

Very different to what I'd normally listen to and I'm glad I found it

Predictable, but enjoyable.

Alright, so I guessed the twist. But I still enjoyed it and I was definitely along for the ride. The only thing that was wrong was the pace of the female narrator. In the early part of the story I couldn't keep up with what she was saying. I don't know whether it was to portray the intensity of the situation, but I understood that from the words. I felt that, as we went on, she slowed down, but it could be that I was getting used to it.

Gripping

A good gripping story. Very well read, felt almost involved. Really brought the characters to life. Personally felt the ending left questions unanswered but maybe that's part of the charm.
