Publisher's summary

24 Hours begins with the perfect family...on the perfect day...about to become trapped in the perfect crime.

Will Jennings is a successful young doctor in Jackson, Mississippi, with his whole life ahead of him. He has a thriving practice, a beautiful wife, and a young daughter he loves beyond measure.

But Will and his family are being watched by a con man and psychopath. A man who has crafted the unbeatable crime. A man who has never been caught, and whose victims have never talked to the police. A man whose life's work strikes at the heart of every family's nightmare: the unstoppable kidnapping.

But this man has never met Will and Karen Jennings.

Great book

Needs a prologue to sum up a year later or more, what happens to everyone involved.
This would greatly enhance the story.

My heart was pounding

After only a few moments I realized that I had seen the movie. I went to Amazon and sure enough there it was. I thought I know how this is going to turn out, do I really want to waste my time? I continued to listen and became intrigued by the writing style and Mr. Iles development of the characters. Yes, I had seen the movie but it didn't matter. The tension, drama and anger toward the antagonist was still there and no matter how many times you read this book or see the movie it will remain just because of the supreme talent of the author.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book even more so than the movie. The actors were good but they could not bring the terror and drama to life that the characters in the book did.
I strongly recommend this book.
Dick Hill ventured out of his comfort zone. I forgot at times that he was reading. He brought personality to the characters and he dropped much of the boring cadence that he uses in so much of his work. He was outstanding in his performance.

Excellent!

Totally unbelievable - Totally cool, and the narration was nonpareil. I find this performance to have been better than the actual book - which I read without the Mississippi accents.
