Story
Ten years ago he killed my son. Today I married him. Ten years ago my darling son Jesse was murdered and our perfect family was destroyed. My strong, handsome boy, so full of life, became a memory, a photo I carried with me everywhere. But today I’m finally close to finding happiness again. My ash-blonde hair has been curled into ringlets. Carefully placed white flowers frame my delicate features. The small, drab chapel has been prettied up with white satin, and there are tiny red hearts scattered on the small table where I will soon sign the register with my new husband.

A little girl, Esther, no older than seven years old, by herself in the dead of night, her pretty but old-fashioned yellow dress covered in grass stains and her hair dishevelled.

Fran's instincts tell her something is very wrong. Why does Esther keep running away from home, and how did she get that bruise on her leg?

I wrap my arms around the tree trunk, pressing my cheek against it until the bark digs in and the missing poster is finally secured. I try not to look at the photograph on it. At the features so similar to mine. Perhaps this will be the year someone comes forward. Were crucial mistakes made by detectives from the very beginning? Could the pressure of living two lives have led my sister to run away - or even end it? Or did someone in her tight circle of friends and family have reason to want her gone? Someone out there must know something.

You're not who you say you are. Neither is she. She thinks she knows me. She believes my marriage is falling apart at the seams, that my husband can barely look me in the eyes. She thinks I’m desperate for a baby, that my longing for a family keeps me up at night. As much as I hate to admit it, all of this is true. She thinks I listen to her advice, that I care about her opinion. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Because she has no idea who I am. She has no clue that I know everything. I know her secret. I know that she did the unforgivable. I know how many lives she ruined.

Summary
Two years ago, Sara's husband left for the gym one morning...and never came back. His car was found. He wasn't. Unbelievably, the police report said, "no foul play suspected." There were a few sightings over the following months, but little else.
Now, on the last day before summer break, her three children have gone missing from their schools, all at the same time.
And the note under her windshield wiper asks one foreboding question: Are you ready to play the game?

How far will a mother go for her children?
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Yes I enjoyed this book. It made boring motorway driving much more interesting.
Any additional comments?
This was an enjoyable book, which starts with a normal single mum of 2. Her husband has previously vanished years earlier and she has given up hope of finding him.
She has a great job as an executive working for a computer games company and while she is at work, her children are kidnapped.
The kidnappers made certain demands of her to play a 'game' and this book follows the story of what she goes through to try to get her children back. She stops at nothing to get them back and finds an inner strength she did not know that she had. She finds out what happened to her husband in the process.
It is a book which was heart breaking in places, as I am a mother myself. I could feel her pain. It is true, that given the option, you would put yourself in danger at the prospect of finding your children.

Nope
I tried. I really did. But the story line coupled with the awful narration was just too much. Perhaps with a different narrator I could’ve finished the story. She’s very staccato. As it is though, I got thru the middle of chapter 7 and then threw up my hands in disgust.
Your kids are missing and you don’t immediately call the police? You’re more concerned about the principals feelings, rather than freaking out that your children have been abducted?
Generally speaking the writing is like that of a middle school student trying to write like a “grown up”. As an example, who refers to their employer by the proper name.... with every reference? I mean EVERY reference. You don’t drive to “company name”, you drive to “work” or to “the office”. It’s just little things like that which made the story seem juvenile.
Bottom line, don’t bother with this one. Unless what I’ve said above is appealing to you.

Oh boy
This was hard for me to get through. I’m not sure if was the narrator or the story in general but it was not believable nor did it have much depth. Trying too hard or maybe not hard enough. The story would have been a little more relatable if the characters weren’t so immature or....kind of dumb. And the detectives! Painful. I was literally counting down the hours on my audible.

Worth free credit
To me the story was different then most I’ve heard so that was a plus. Although predictable I knew almost within the first couple chapters The Who and why. Liked the plot however predictable it certainly was. If I could guess it without trying anyone could. I don’t try to solve the books I listen to as I like to let it unravel. The reader can perform 2 mb 3 voice characters which really blew this listen. She could be good but needs to practice her male and other female voices. If she didn’t narrate who was speaking what lines you would think them all the same.
Like I said free credit would not pay for this one. And I can sit through just about any audio book I have a lot of drive time.

Eh
It was pretty predictable to me. Basically within the first few chapters of the kids going missing I figured out who took them, just didn't know why. Also, I feel like to much time was spent being in the main character's thoughts and not enough action. Overall the book was okay.

This was even better than I expected. I loved the story and the characters. I cannot wait to either read or listen to the next book in the series. So far I have loved every book Ernie Lindsey has written. My friends you need to start reading some of these independent authors. Finding this these hidden gems of the book world has truly changed my life.
