Resumen del Editor

Their baby was supposed to be mine....

No relationship is perfect. But since the birth of baby Mabel seven months ago, Amber and George have been in desperate need of a night away. Mabel is all that Amber has ever wanted, but she can’t deny that sometimes she struggles to cope. George has booked them into a luxury hotel, and Amber’s sister is babysitting. Yet just as they are ready to leave, Amber can’t suppress a feeling of worry....

Amber is right to be anxious. Because as she and George sip cocktails at the hotel bar, what she doesn’t know is that her little girl is in terrible danger. Somebody has been following her every move, taking note of her habits. Somebody who desperately wants a child of their own. Somebody who believes that Mabel is supposed to be theirs.

When Amber’s sister reports that Mabel’s crib is empty, Amber’s world implodes. She knows that if her baby is not found, she will never forgive her sister.

But Amber also has a secret, hidden from those she loves. Is the only person who knows the truth out to make her pay? Amber will do whatever it takes to get her daughter back...but could her lies have put her little girl at risk?

A truly gripping psychological thriller of manipulation and betrayal from best-selling author Jess Ryder. The Night Away will have you hooked until the final devastating revelation. Perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train or The Woman in the Window.

Loved it - not a dull moment

I loved this book. Totally engrossing - the tension was steady throughout… finished it in less than 24 hours 😬. I’m going to try out the author’s book that’s previewed at the end of this one (I think it’s called The Ex-wife) ASAP because even though the book is done, I am not.

One of my faves

Apart from other Jess ryders novels this ones been one of my favorites. Great performance and the story has so many twists and turns. I had a few sorted out right before the final reveal which i found just as enjoyable as not knowing what the heck is going on the whole time. All in all I loved the story. The ending was a bit meh for the characters I had clinged to and high hopes for but I’ll live another day.

An amazing thriller

The narration of the store was superb.
This fast pace story was quick and suspenseful.
I would recommend to anyone

Enjoyed it

Listened to this nonstop over a period of a day and a half while doing this and that so I would have to back it up to make sure I didn’t miss anything. And then finally when everything was done I finally got to go though it straight on. I liked it. I liked the twists and the sisters getting along and the caring and I appreciate the author going easy on the cuss words and no sex scenes. It was awesome! I want a good story not a book on sex and cussing. So thank you. Just I don’t get it as to why is the cuss word always Jesus’ name? When I was a nasty cusser I cussed a lot. But never Gods name or Jesus’ name. I just don’t get that one. Anyhow I like how all the characters ended up having their own story behind the story. This is my first book by her. Hope others follow same pattern.

Just ok

It was a bit boring. Not terrible, just okay. It seemed to move slow and I was ready for it to be over.

Kept my interest.

I gave it 5 stars because I never lost interest for a moment and listened every free minute till the end. If you enjoy domestic drama then read this one. I do and enjoyed it very much.

One twist too many

At its best, the book is average. It did keep me going but I wasn’t sorry when it ended. There were so many twists that eventually it became boring, I would say even to the writer who seemed to forget some events in the book that basically lead nowhere (i.e. the child abductor’s neighbors; the incident on the road… ). It ended up somehow abruptly as if the author wanted to wrap it up and go on. It is an ok read but nothing more that that. Excellent narration, though.

Solid Thriller- Title Is Deceiving

The Night Away was a fairly good read and I enjoyed it. I wish that the title of the book were different, because I think it sort of throws off the reader/listener. There is indeed a night away where the main couple in the book go for a mini break but it seems really minor and not important to the story.

The book is about a baby being kidnapped while sister babysits for an exhausted couple. It's fairly fast paced, but the characters aren't the most likable, and the story itself is a bit underwhelming yet still, a solid psychological thriller.

Kept my interest

I liked this. It was fairly unpredictable... Wasn't the best thing I've ever read, but narrator was decent and it certainly held my interest.

I just became a huge Jess Ryder fan!

uniquely styled plot twists and turns with very unexpected connections, brilliantly delivered. I will be listening to all Ryder's novels! The narration is the cherry of excellence on top. A magnificent performance!
