About this listen

In the middle of a rainy Swedish summer, a little girl is abducted from a crowded train.

Despite hundreds of potential witnesses, no one noticed when the girl was taken. Her mother, left behind at the previous station, alerted the crew immediately. But as the train pulled into Stockholm Central Station, the girl was nowhere to be seen.

To Inspector Alex Recht of the Stockholm police, this looks like a classic custody row. But none of the evidence adds up, and young Investigative Analyst Fredrika Bergman is convinced the case is far more complex than her boss is prepared to admit.

So when the missing child is found dead in the far north of Sweden, with the word "UNWANTED" scribbled on her forehead, the rule book is finally thrown out of the window.

Now on the trail of a ruthless murderer with a terrifying agenda, will Alex and Fredrika manage to put aside their differences and work together to find the killer before it's too late?

The story was good and that is the only thing that kept me listening .
Maggie Mash is fine in her own voice but oh my god her male voices are terrible and why oh why does she make all the characters sound either like they smoke 50 cigarettes a day or feeble and why does everyone sound so breathless!.
Took me half the book to ignore her bad voices and just listen to the story . Nearly returned it but persevered as i was intrigued about how it was going to end. Wouldn’t recommend for narration but story is ok.

Narrator was Hard to listen to

The book itself, though not long, is a brilliant start to a series. I definitely recommend!

Maggie Mash is is a brilliant narrator!

The narrator, Maggie Marsh, spoiled the story as she was very OTT, deliberately very breathless and hesitant and, in my opinion, didn't make the best of the characters. Very disappointing ending. The story was dragged out in places but had an abrupt ending that in part, didn't make sense. Not sure that I would listen to another of the author's books especially if with lthe same narrator

What did you like best about Unwanted? What did you like least?

Whilst the story itself was pretty good, I really did not like the narrator. Whilst her narrative in her own voice was normal and easy to listen to, nearly every character was read in a dreadful slow drawl or growl which soon grew really irritating. Only the interest of the story kept me going. I will certain avoid anything narrated by Maggie Mash in future as she so nearly completely ruined a decent story.

Appalling narration
