Blood Ties

A Nik Pohl Thriller, Book 2

De: Alexander Hartung, Fiona Beaton - translator

Narrado por: Chris Andrew Ciulla

Two missing children. Only Pohl can save the third.

Two young children have been violently abducted in broad daylight, with nothing connecting them but their disappearance. Detective Nik Pohl knows there must be a missing link, but every time he gets close to the answer people show up hurt, or worse....

The kidnappings must be connected. Could it be the recent property scandal that one young girl’s father is embroiled in, or something even bigger? Desperate to find the children and fearing there may be more victims, Pohl throws himself into the world of Munich’s grimy organised crime scene.

Drug lords, money launderers, and criminals stand in the way of the truth, but Pohl knows his way around, and he’s determined not to let another child disappear on his watch. Can he make the connection and identify the final target - and stop the killer - before it’s too late?

Good book and phenomenal narration..

Totally lost! I know it was about kids being kidnapped and Nik Pohl being confused as to why BUT there was so many players with so many German names I had no idea who they were talking about. I can’t see myself reading this author again. I could keep up with the story, mostly, but not the people they were talking about. And if you don’t know the people because of their names it’s hard to really enjoy the book.

I did like his friends Jon, the hacker, and Balthazar, the pathologist. But Nik, not so much. He was standing on the edge of a rooftop and thinking of jumping and he would get so drunk it was ridiculous. That’s not my kind of hero. Another reason I won’t be reading this author.

No romance and the F-bomb was used 32 times.

As to the narration: Chris Andrew Ciulla was fabulous! His emotions when he reads is awesome.

Comparisions

Hello, I have both the Kindle and the Audible of this book. I definitely remember more about the story when I read visually - but the narration was so good that after the first day - I found myself drawn in more and more. I am now glad when I have the time to devote to the Kindle option I can read it again down the road. But for when I want to listen I have this amazing audible option. Highly recommended. And if you have not read the first Nik Pohl Thriller you should!!
