About this listen

Zoe and Ollie Morley tried for years to have a baby and couldn't. They turned to adoption and their dreams came true when they were approved to adopt a little girl from birth. They named her Evie. In the days following Evie's birth the new parents watch anxiously as their precious daughter struggles - she is battling the severe effects of the drugs her birth mother was addicted to.

Seven years later, the family has moved to Zoe's native Yorkshire and grown in number: a wonderful surprise in the form of baby Ben, conceived naturally against the odds. Ollie is earning good money allowing Zoe to pursue her career as an artist. As a working mum it's not easy, but Zoe has an exhibition coming up and her reputation is growing. Life is good.

But then Evie begins to receive letters and gifts. The sender claims to be her birth father. He has been looking for his daughter. And now he is coming to take her back....

This was a really good story , I enjoyed it very much .
little bit drawn out in places but worth excepting that as it was good book

good story

Great plot, great narrator, but ruined, for me, by the far fetched notion that the police are incompetent; even failing to properly investigate one of the tragic events bestowed on this family, and the parents having to step in and save the day on the second major event.
Shame. This book had so much potential. It almost felt like the author didn't know what to do with the parents during the police investigations, so she had to put them front and centre, and leading the investigation themselves.

No need for police!

I did enjoy this book overall, although I did find it a bit long and drawn out in parts. The main character annoyed me a bit, and I think the way she took over the investigation instead of the police made it a bit less believable for me. But it kept me listening and I thought the narrator was reasonable.
I would read more by this author

I listened to The Stolen Child on audiobook and thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. Set in Yorkshire it was particularly interesting as i listened to it in my car on my commute to Bradford. Even made the M62 enjoyable if there is such a thing. The plot twists and turn right from the very start and the characters were intriguing. Even the inevitable question of who did it wasn't obvious until the end so it kept you on your toes. This is the first book by this author and I hope to read more.

Captivating and intriguing - loved it
