The Cornwalls Are Gone

By: James Patterson, Brendan DuBois

Narrated by: Lauren Fortgang, Edoardo Ballerini

When Captain Amy Cornwall's family goes missing, the Army Ranger will do whatever it takes to bring them home in this cinematic thriller that begins with a mysterious phone call and ends with a twist you'll never see coming.
In her career as an Army intelligence officer, Amy Cornwall has seen haunting sights half a world away. None compare to the chilling scene at her empty Virginia home.
A phone rings with a terrifying ultimatum: locate and liberate an unnamed captive in forty-eight hours, or her kidnapped husband and ten-year-old daughter are dead.
Now, in open defiance of Army Command, Amy must employ her most lethal tactics to save them. To succeed, she must discover not only who dispatched her on this mission, but why. Without her family, she's dead anyway.

Suspense and satisfaction

A great story with a satisfying ending. So glad to finally see a strong woman as the protagonist in a usually male dominated genre.

excellent

enjoyed this book beginning to end. one of my favorite writers did not dissapoint. the narration was on point and entertaining..

Kept wondering why

Throughout the entire story Amy kept referring to her daughter by her given name, Denise. It was always "my husband and Denise" Or "as I think of what is happening to my husband and Denise" or "my poor Denise". I kept wondering why any mother trying to save her family would refer to her daughter in such an impersonal way.

Okay mystery/thriller

I liked the start of this novel. Amy Cornwall is an Army intelligence officer, and her husband and daughter are kidnapped. Amy must free a captive in order to get her family back. This story had twists and turns, but each made the story less interesting. The characters were not especially interesting or believable, but the ploy had a good rhythm, so I did not quit. I don't think I will read or listen to a Brendan DuBois novel again. Too typical. There was some exciting moments, but not enough.

Great new Family

Patterson hss once more given his readers a book filled with reasons for another. Had me on the edge of my seat.
