This book is a must read!!!

This book kept me captivated from start to finish! I was actually disappointed when it was over because I was so into it I never wanted it to end. The narrator’s was easy to listen to, the story line kept me guessing, and the characters were so likable. I highly recommend this, and all Lisa Stone books!!!!

Good story but not accomplished well

This could have been much better. I liked the story. The performance was really good too. But I hate characters that are stupid. The police are so far from anything that seems logical and they rely on their personal feelings instead of the actual evidence and I got more mad at the them than the actual antagonist. There could have Ben more actual content and let go of some of the unnecessary commentary that just plays it out so much longer. If you patient this is a great book. If you can see the holes like me you’ll be annoyed. Maybe a better read the book story so you can skip the parts you don’t need to read. Love the story but maybe more what the story could be. Stupid characters annoy me and there’s at least one or two. Happy listening!

impressed!!

I am a fan of Cathy Glass books, but was skeptical about reading a mystery book that was fiction, I'm so glad I read this book, it was edge of ur seat good, don't want to get out of my car (audible) good!! Now I will go on to more Lisa Stone books!!!

dragged and wasn't very interesting

I had alot of hopes but kept feeling like I just wanted it to end.

Liked It A Lot

This book was good from start to finish the narrator kept you wanting to listen the perfect voice to listen to and the story was very realistic and would make us all went to be better parents.

narration is fine.. story has no depth.. not a single twist or turn.... just keep looking..

Taken is a great book of some twists and turns that make you think you know who did it but all is revealed and you will be surprised. Fantastically written . Superb book to listen to . As is all of Lisa stone and cathy glass books. Give them a go. You will not be disappointed

Thoroughly enjoyed

This was a brilliant story with so many twists and turns! I really enjoyed it and would listen to it again.

Good twists!

easy listen, narrator wasn't the best at narrating different characters but worth a listen - will.listen to more by the author

Fantastic

This book was fantastic, I’m usually a Cathy Glass kind of girl but thought I’d give this a go and I’m so glad I did. I was stuck to the book from start to finish, defo worth a read.

A Gripping read!

I absolutely couldn't put this book down! I loved it! From start to finish I was hooked, great twists in the plot.

Fantastic read

Thoroughly enjoyed this book and the twists in the story, I couldn’t put it down.

Implausible

I found this narrative to be implausible to the point of irritation. A formulaic, predictable story line with such unrealistic responses; the police detectives were virtual morons with little regard pages to realistic police procedure and the main character (the mother) was portrayed as pathetic. Predictable and lacking in substance.

What went wrong?!

I can't believe this is a Lisa Stone book - boring, weak and nothing like her previous books!
A real struggle to get through, even though I skipped a few chapters. Dont waste your time with this book.
