Resumen del Editor

Women are being murdered in upstate New York, their bodies found mysteriously hanging in chains. With the FBI called in, given the bizarre nature of the murders - and the lack of any clues - there is only one agent they can turn to: Special Agent Riley Paige.

Riley, reeling from her last case, is reluctant to take on a new one, since she is still convinced a former serial killer is out there, stalking her. She knows, though, that her ability to enter a serial killer's mind and her obsessive nature is what will be needed to crack this case, and she just can't refuse - even if it will push her over the edge.

Riley's search takes her deep into a killer's deluded mind as it leads her to orphanages, mental hospitals, and prisons, all in an effort to understand the depth of his psychosis. Realizing she is up against a true psychopath, she knows time is short before he strikes again. But with her own job on the line and her own family a target, and with her fragile psyche collapsing, it may all be too much for her - and too late.

British accent?

Loved the book. however the setting is in Virgina and the narrator has a British accent. It is a liitle difficult to imagine these Virginians speaking with this accent.

great story

Loved the story. it was interesting captivating and emotional. I really enjoy reading this series.

very enjoyable, easy to follow and listen to

like listen to these books start to finish and not stopping, easy to follow very enjoyable

Really Enjoyable

Great book, two plots and I will definitely read more books by this author. The narrator did an excellent job, however her English accent portraying American people was a bit hard to get my head around as I kept thinking the storyline was based somewhere in the UK.

Small whinge, and the only one. I still gave the book *****

OK

I Was a little disappointed to be honest.
I had really been looking forward to reading this book and it just wasn't as good as I hoped.

great book

I loved it I couldn't stop I needed to know what was going to happen, next

Bizarre narration choice

Odd that all characters are British when the story takes place in the USA.

British narrator? NO

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I would never have ordered this if I’d known the narrator had a British accent. For heavens sake, it’s based in NY and about the FBI! How inappropriate. Never again.

Would you be willing to try another one of Elaine Wise’s performances?

No!

Any additional comments?

Get a narrator without a British accent...unless the book is based in or is about Great Britain.

CHAINS...

Would you consider the audio edition of Once Taken to be better than the print version?

With this book either one would would be fine.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Once Taken?

When Eugene was talking to his CHAINS.

Which character – as performed by Elaine Wise – was your favorite?

Peterson, scared the sh - - out of me.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No, it did make me feel sorry for Eugene.

Any additional comments?

Another excellent read. Couldn't put it down, read it in one sitting.

Wrong Narrator for Story

The story was very good. The narrator would have been wonderful but not on this book. Her accent just didn't work for me and I found myself paying more attention to it than the story.
