Lost Girl

De: Adam Nevill

Narrado por: Kris Dyer

How far will he go to save his daughter? How far will he go to get revenge?

It's 2053 and runaway climate change has brought civilization to the brink of collapse. Billions are threatened with starvation and mankind is slowly moving north in a world stricken by war, drought and superstorms - easy prey for the pandemics that sweep across the globe. Easy prey, too, for the violent gangs and people smugglers who thrive in the crumbling world where 'King Death' reigns supreme.

The father's own world went to hell two years ago. His four-year-old daughter was snatched from his garden when he should have been watching. The moments before her disappearance play in a perpetual loop in his mind, as do nightmarish fantasies of who took her, and why. But the police are preoccupied.

Amidst the worst European heatwave on record, a refugee crisis and the coming hurricane season, who cares about one more missing child?

Now it's down to him to find her, even if it means going to the worst places imaginable, to do the unthinkable....

Heartwrenching, brutal, beautiful

The descriptions of climate change’s fallout terrified me, and that woven in with the loss and search for stolen child left me shaken. One of his best books.

Incredible thriller

Everything about this book is awesome. Narrator storyline characters what a thrilling experience to listen to. Adam Nevill never disappoints!!

So Good

A really unique store/setting. The story moved along quickly and was intriguing. I would recommend for sure.

great listen

Really good narration with well executed, varied character voices. Each character was discernible without being distracting. I would definitely look for other readings by this narrator.

Excellent story. I always feel like Neville has better set up than follow through in his books, but this one was pretty consistently good throughout. A bit of a departure from horror into more of a "thriller" genre, which was a fun change to see in one of my favorite authors.

So depressing

Great performance, but I hated it as I listened. I like post apocalyptic stories, but this was too close to real life.
