    Just when I was starting to think I had run out good books to listen to, I disocvered Lee Child.
    Though the main character is a bit rough around the edges, that's part of his charm & what makes this book a good one.
    Its certainly not for the faint of heart but if you enjoy a twisting plot with some interesting character development then this is well worth the listen.
    I am looking forward to the rest of the them.

    I liked the 7th Victim enough to give this one & try...and now I am regretting being out of credits so I can't get the third book right away. Yes, the main character is flawed, but aren't we all? I find her to be more enjoyable by not being perfect.
    I agree the narrator can be a little flat at times but still the storyline is good.
    I found this to be a good listen overall & eagerly await getting the next one.

    I decided to take a chance on this book when it was in a sale recently. I was not disappointed & have started reading the Alpha & Omega ones as well.
    I usually don't read or listen to these types of books though I have been a huge fan of Jim Butcher's for some time.
    Great discovery & I do like the narrator.
    Looking forward to the next one.

    Tia and Mike Baye never imagined they'd become the type of overprotective parents who spy on their kids. But their 16-year-old son, Adam, has been unusually distant lately, and after the suicide of his classmate, Spencer Hill they can't help but worry. They install a sophisticated spy program on Adam's computer, and within days they are jolted by a message from an unknown correspondent addressed to their son: "Just stay quiet and all safe."

    Meanwhile, Betsy Hill is struck by a photo that appears to have been taken on the night of her son's death...and he wasn't alone.

    I remember reading Coben's "Tell No One" & I was so hooked on it...the same here.
    He has the great gift to make random events all come together in a way you just didn't see coming.
    All I can say is "WOW" & bring on the next one.

    A serial killer watches and waits. Each time, he takes two victims, preparing the first's body with all the clues the police need to find the second, who is still alive. The clock ticks, and the second one can still be saved. But the police never make it in time. The second one dies. For years, the killer has plagued the city with the same pattern, but the police never pick up on it quickly enough.

    I have been listening to books for quite some time so it is nice when you discover a different author to listen to.
    Having lived in VA for nearly 15 yrs, I was impressed with the reality of this book.
    Great story line that kept you guessing almost to the end.
