Come a Little Closer

DCI Tom Douglas, Book 7

De: Rachel Abbott

Narrado por: Lisa Coleman

Snow is falling softly as a young woman takes her last breath.

Fifteen miles away, two women sit silently in a dark kitchen. They don't speak, because there is nothing left to be said.

Another woman boards a plane to escape the man who is trying to steal her life. But she will have to return sooner or later.

These strangers have one thing in common. They each made one bad choice - and now they have no choices left. Soon they won't be strangers, they'll be family....

When DCI Tom Douglas is called to the cold, lonely scene of a suspicious death, he is baffled. Who is she? Where did she come from? How did she get there? How many more must die? Who is controlling them, and how can they be stopped?

Rachel does it again! Loved it!

I am Rachel's number one fan. I've enjoyed all her books. In addition to her previous works, she delivers another winner, along with superb narrator Lisa Coleman. Changing characters chapter, by chapter, a favorite style of mine, Abbott brings it all together with twists, turns, ups, downs and surprises throughout. And I certainly wasn't expecting the shocking ending. Wow! One of my favorites in my Audible library! Very highly recommended with 🍒 on top! I can't wait for her next book! Write, Rachel, write!

Excellent

DCI Tom Douglas does it again. These books are always full of twists and turns. One of my favorite series.

Ending

Things ran smoothly, if slowly, for me. You have to wait & see where things intersect. There was incomplete closure for me, even at the end. However I envisioned a different ending. Must say, I didn't like the one I got! Too.many loose ends that weren't addressed. This is for me, but others may disagree.

Great book but he ending makes no sense

Most of the “thrilling books” are predictable and I’ve listens to so many that I normally figure out the ending. I didn’t with this one. I recommend the book but the ending makes no sense. It felt like she invited me over to dinner and when I walk in I smell the delicious food and she brings everything to the table and then right before we eat she gives me a garbage can top to eat it off of. I was very disappointed in the ending. Very.

good plot...but weak women

still in first quarter of this book, and definitely intrigued, but why are these women so weak!!!

I’ve read all of Rachel Abbotts books so far that I know of

This was the best, and the creepiest. Her writing and her twists and turns always surprise me.

I love Rachael Abbott

Rachael Abbott is one of my favorite authors and with the exception of "Only the Innocent" I love her books.

So many twists! I loved it!

Great audiobook! It kept me captivated through the entire book! Gives good examples how people can be manipulated.

Awesome Psychological Thriller!

Great listen - loved the narrator and the story. Highly recommend! Lots of twists and the end is unexpected and awesome.

What a great duo between this author and narrator

Come A Little Closer was one of the creepiest books just for its plausibility. This is a storyline that feels like it could happen and shows how trusting people can be of those they consider too old, or too weak, or just because they don’t feel like a threat. “Trust takes years to build, seconds to break and forever to repair.” This quote from Tom pretty much sums up the storyline. There are so many secrets and lies in this story.

It seriously starts out as a cluster… ok, through nearly half the audiobook it’s a bit of a conundrum. Rachel Abbott tosses out all these puzzle pieces one by one and you see the shape… but it’s a struggle to fit them together… but you keep listening and fitting piece by piece into its spot until you have the entire picture staring at you and you’re just plain shocked! OK, so that was me!

Then… that ending! This is definitely one you’re gonna want to listen to! Completely entrancing and completely hard to put together! Fantastic! Can’t wait for more! I love that for the most part we get this larger story but inside the story we learn about the main characters that stick with us through the series… Tom and Becky and a few others. I love hearing about their lives and how it has changed over time.

The narrator, Lisa Coleman, was an absolute pleasure to listen to. I enjoyed her British accent. I loved the way she was able to carry the tension of the story in her voice and tone. A narrator can really make or break a good book, and Miss Coleman only enhanced this story! What a great duo between this author and narrator. I’m definitely hoping for more from them.
