Kidnapping of a Myth

Autopsy of a Fairytale, Book 3

De: Nicole Scarano

Narrado por: Cassandra Campbell

"Wendy Darling, I have your brothers. You'll never see them again. They're in Neverland now."

Isobel "Bel" Emerson finds her life disrupted once again when Eamon Stone receives a disturbing phone call from an old friend's daughter. Her family is in danger, but she can't call the police. Eamon is the only person she can turn to, and he agrees to help under one condition: Bel comes with him.

Working undercover with only Eamon for backup, Bel arrives at Wendy Darling's expansive estate where she learns that both of Wendy's younger brothers have been kidnapped. Bel expects the kidnappings to be about the Darling's famous wealth, but what starts as a straightforward case turns deadly when a man known only as The Tinker turns the kidnapping into a dangerous game of cat and mouse. A game he forces them to play to the brutal end. No one is safe, not even Eamon's beast.

As they race against the clock to find the lost boys, Bel's own kidnapping comes back to haunt her. She refuses to allow her past trauma to keep her from rescuing the missing kids, but when even the FBI fails to beat The Tinker's traps, Bel and Eamon are confronted with a terrifying reality. Saving the brothers might mean sacrificing their own lives.

How far are they willing to go to save children from death? And are they brave enough to answer the question hanging thick between them before it's too late? Has Beauty fallen for the Beast?

Loosely inspired by Peter Pan, Kidnapping of a Myth is book three in the Autopsy of a Fairytale series, a crime procedural romantic suspense perfect for those who like dark fairytales, murder mystery/crime procedurals (like AMC's The Killing, Netflix's Lucifer, NBC's Hannibal, and Criminal Minds), romance, found family, and a hint of fantasy. Each book will be based on a different fairytale, but Bel (and her Beast) will connect them all, her story ending on small cliffhangers in each book.

Good

I thought this was an interesting twist on Peter Pan in the lost boys. Wendy’s brothers were kidnapped, and she called in the beast to help her find them and of course he brought Bell with him. I had an idea of who was behind the kidnapping of the boys, but I did like the mystery of it. I will definitely be reading the next book in the series.

Love this series!

This series is so well written! I may have guessed parts of it, but because of the writing I didn’t hate waiting for the story to catch up!!

Another great book in the series!

I… yet… again loved another book in this series. It keeps you drawn in and on edge the entire time. I did find the main character in this story (Wendy) a little annoying and i do believe this story could have been a little stronger compared to the other two books this one was a little weaker. But overall great addition to the series.

Fantastic

This series just keeps getting better. I love the relationship between Bel and Eamon, and of course I love the unique twists on the fairytale. The narrator is amazing.

Book draws you in and you’ll want to spend all day finishing it

The book is a mixture of mystery and fantasy. I enjoy how each book in the series incorporates a different fairytale. This book hint at the Peter Pan story. The voice reading the book is very well done and enjoyable to listen to.

This whole series is a delight

These books are an absolute delight. Despite the macabre nature of the crimes, I would classify these as cozy mysteries (think T. Kingfisher, Nettle & Bone) with a backbone of fade to black romance, he falls first, enemies to lovers (think Lauren Roberts, Powerless).

Can you figure out the clues?

This series is such a wonderful and exciting listen. The main characters are predictable in a good way. I’m always trying to figure out the fairytale clues! Romance and murder make for a great listen!

better and better

This series has been recommended to me over and over again. It was finally on top of the TBR pile ans I have finished the series in a month bouncing back and forth from Kindle and Audio because I couldn't stop. I have thoroughly enjoyed this

Yes to all of them!

Such a fun twist of a read. I loved fairytales as a kid and thrillers are one of my go tos now so mixing everything together is perfect.

Great mystery

It keep me listening the whole time. Really peaks your interest through the whole book even when you think you know you do t know
