Reseñas de la Crítica

"She is the perfect heroine." (Elly Griffiths)

"DCI Matilda Darke is going places." (James Oswald)

Disturbing subject matter, but I’m hooked

The title says it all. I usually stay away from anything to do with missing children but since I enjoyed Michael Wood’s Matilda Darke Series, I couldn’t pass on this one and will get the the next one that surely follows this book as the ending leaves it open for more. As usual, narration by Stephanie Beattie is spot-on and the writing is well-done. Though the subject matter is heartbreaking, it grabbed my attention and I did finish it. I paid $9.39. I save my credits for higher priced books. Recommended? Each to their own, however this book’s ending leaves the story open for Book 2 and, of course, now I’m hooked and will get it.

Stolen Children- DCI Darke book 6

I LOVE this series!! Matilda Darke and her team must find a missing a missing 9-year-old girl.....meanwhile, a boy walks into a police station in France and claims to be Carl Meagan. This is a dark and emotional tale that builds and builds until the final twist. I highly recommend all the books in this series - read in order. I enjoy the small peek into the lives of Matilda's team - further fleshing out the characters, making you feel more connected. Looking forward to the next installment!

Excellent read

Once again Michael Wood has taken me through twists and unexpected turns. Ended on a cliffhanger.

Another Great One

This author doesn’t fail to keep you guessing until the end. Somehow always has a unique story line too!

Great Series

Narration is excellent and the characters and verbal exchanges are well done. However, I am getting sick of the Carl Meeghan thread. The author needs to solve this already and move on.

Once again!!!

I love the DCI Matilda Dark series. I’m so glad he’s finally done something about the missing child. This book was so suspenseful that I finished it in two days.

Political Correctness ruins books for me.

Predictable and quite a bit of political correctness. It was not a book I would recommend.
