Sara's Game

By: Ernie Lindsey

Narrated by: Erin Spencer

Length: 6 hrs and 56 mins

Publisher's Summary

Two years ago, Sara's husband left for the gym one morning...and never came back. His car was found. He wasn't. Unbelievably, the police report said, "no foul play suspected." There were a few sightings over the following months, but little else.

Now, on the last day before summer break, her three children have gone missing from their schools, all at the same time.

And the note under her windshield wiper asks one foreboding question: Are you ready to play the game?

Any additional comments?

This was even better than I expected. I loved the story and the characters. I cannot wait to either read or listen to the next book in the series. So far I have loved every book Ernie Lindsey has written. My friends you need to start reading some of these independent authors. Finding this these hidden gems of the book world has truly changed my life.

Are you Ready to Play the Game?

A mystery I didn't want to stop listening to. Sara is a marketer in a big company and climbing the corporate ladder. She works with Shelly a quiet girl always ready to help Sara if need be, and a great marketer. And there is Teddy, VP of the company because his daddy owns it. He is a small man with an obnoxious personality, and Sara isn't fond of him. Sara's husband disappeared into the blue several years ago, leaving her alone to raise their three children. Sara had adapted to her hectic life pretty well, but hadn't stopped wondering what had happened to her husband. She was well liked and things at work were going as smoothly as they ever did at work, then things went horribly wrong. Her three children were kidnapped.
I am wondering if there is going to be a part 2.

good easy read

loved the book, a bit predictible, butt a good pager turner. I would buy the next book in the series.

Disappointing

The story was okay, enough to keep me listening to the end despite several eye roll moments involving solving ridiculously esoteric riddles that the heroin was able to solve using the same non sequitur logic Adam West used when facing The Riddler in the old Batman tv series.

Furthermore, the reader just didn't do it for me. She had a hard time with male voices so much so that it was laughable at times. I would have preferred just a straight reading of the text. But most irritating was the reader's poor pronunciation on a couple of occasions. She pronounced "mirror" like "meer" and she violated one of my personal pet peeves when, on several occasions, she pronounced "jewelry" as "jewlery". These may seem innocuous, but they threw me out of the story every time.

Not impressed

I was excited to start this book. I don't know if it was the narrator or or the book itself but I couldn't make it. I tried but it was just eh. The reactions of the mom in this were just so far fetched that I couldn't related or get involved at all. so anyways bummed I spent the $1.99 to upgrade to the audio for my drive. I ended up listening to music instead.

How far will a mother go for her children?

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Yes I enjoyed this book. It made boring motorway driving much more interesting.

Any additional comments?

This was an enjoyable book, which starts with a normal single mum of 2. Her husband has previously vanished years earlier and she has given up hope of finding him.
She has a great job as an executive working for a computer games company and while she is at work, her children are kidnapped.
The kidnappers made certain demands of her to play a 'game' and this book follows the story of what she goes through to try to get her children back. She stops at nothing to get them back and finds an inner strength she did not know that she had. She finds out what happened to her husband in the process.
It is a book which was heart breaking in places, as I am a mother myself. I could feel her pain. It is true, that given the option, you would put yourself in danger at the prospect of finding your children.

Excellent easy listening, would recommend. Kept me guessing. Are you ready to play your game

Good story

I’d worked out the answer about half way though but still a good story. Worth while story.
