Resumen del Editor

From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Kendra Elliot.

When an eleven-year-old is abducted on her way to school, the FBI doesn’t waste a moment, sending agents to scour the area and embedding Special Agent Ava McLane with the distraught family. In the eye of the storm is local detective Mason Callahan, whose life is crumbling to pieces - he’s related to the victim, and his longtime confidential informant has just been murdered.

Both he and Agent McLane hole up in the victim’s family home. Every second counts in a kidnapping case, and the stakes keep rising the longer the girl is missing. As Ava and Mason struggle to hold the family together in their darkest hour, the two investigators find themselves drawn to each other.

AMY AND NICK DO IT AGAIN WITH THEIR AMAZING VOICES

Any additional comments?

***Not my typical read- no romance suspense like my typical MO.. , mystery audio book done with my favorite narrators***

I have to note that Nick Podehl was phenomenal in this book- the different voices in the book was unbelievably real, that you truly thought multiple readers were narrating!! Bravo Brilliance audio on the selection of Amy and Nick!!!

This wasn't may typical read, even thou I'm HUGE on romance suspense, this was not romance suspense. This was just a mystery suspense that kept me guessing thru the whole story. I really thought maybe Mason's partner was involved but the last person I thought would be who it was- without mentioning names.

The book was about a little girl that was kidnapped, and Mason our main character was the little girl's family. His son Jake is the little girls step-brother. Being a detective he wanted to be the voice of reason for the public to help find the little girl and help support the family. However, what Mason didn't know was he found himself smack right in the middle of a murder investigation that points him out as the murderer of an informant. Putting his issue aside knowing he didn't kill anyone, he focused on getting the little girl back.

The story leads you in all sorts of directions, on who was the kidnapper. But the twist of events putting him and his son in the spotlight was what I least expected. This was again was one of the best audiobooks I've ever listened to, and kept me intrigued from Chapter 1. If you are looking for a mystery read than this one is for you.

I found this book by searching for books that Amy McFadden has narrated and I'm so glad I found it!!

Good Strong Story

Great performance and storyline. Never got too complicated nor boring. Loved both narrators. This is my first book hearing Nick and he was awesome. Amy is great too. (Though she has a tendency to give Spanish people an accent, which I think is not necessary.)

Suspenseful romance

This was the first book that I have read from this author. It was very good. She describes the scene as if you were there. It has some heat in it but nothing gratuitous. Enjoyable read

Female Narrator not my cup of tea

Story was good not great but part of it could have been the female narrator. The story needed more build up between the main characters.

Liked Nick Podehl. Was not fond of the female narrator.

Narrators and their weird voices...

I love this author and this story is up to her usual standards. However, the narrators drove me batty. Why do so many narrators choose to make the voice parts so weird? No one sounds like that in real life. Other than that I enjoyed it. I even liked the idea of switching narrators when the viewpoint changed between Ava and Calilihan.

Good

I enjoyed reading this book. Truly a wonderful read. Cops, FBI, & SWAT all working together to find a missing girl. Lots of hidden things going on throughout this book. Lots of hurt and healing as well.

Interesting Read

Not a single dull moment. The plot, even though it was a little predictable, was good and built up to a peak.

Very good read.

This is the first time I have read anything by this author. I intend to read more of her books.

great book, bad reader

I adore Kendra Elliot's books, but the female narrator on this one drive me up the wall! she sounds like an old fashioned school marm, almost like she was trying to use a sophisticated snooty tone. thank God the story line was good! I have the performance two stars because the male narrator did great! *update* finished the book and while the story was great the narrator did NOT grow on me. She just got worse!

Great book

This was my first listen of Kendra Elliot & I was impressed with the story & performance. I had to make myself stop listening at 3AM & get some sleep. I'm ready for another Kendra Elliot!
