Summary

What’s the life of your child worth?

It’s every mother’s nightmare - the abduction of her baby.

That’s how it starts for Erin Vogel when she is attacked and left unconscious in her apartment. When she awakes it is to find that Georgia, her six-month-old daughter, has been taken.

But Erin is given a chance to get Georgia back. At an unthinkable price. Like most mothers she has always said she would do anything for her child. Now the strength of that bond is about to be put to the ultimate test.

And when her actions arouse the interest of a certain Detective Callum Doyle, one thing is inevitable: a confrontation that will be as explosive as it is unforgettable.

From the highly acclaimed author of Pariah, The Helper, and Marked comes a nerve-shredding novel that questions the line we draw between good and evil.

Gripping and original

I loved this! Great story. Some terrific insights into the human mind. The only thing I didn’t like so much was the female narrator’s style.

Always a great story with a twist

The attention to detail allows the listener to fully imagine the depth within a story until the twist at the end which you didn't see coming. All his stories are super intelligent.

Best one yet!

I really enjoyed this book, have loved all the Callum Doyle series, but preferred this as I actually quite liked Doyle in this story - whereas I couldn't find any redeeming qualities in the previous books!

Worth sticking with

Not easy to get into - the narrator's voice to me sounded dated but I persevered and somehow the voice became hypnotic.

Twists and has a plausible but unforeseen crescendo that made me stay awake listening through to the end.

Very different to what I'd normally listen to and I'm glad I found it

Predictable, but enjoyable.

Alright, so I guessed the twist. But I still enjoyed it and I was definitely along for the ride. The only thing that was wrong was the pace of the female narrator. In the early part of the story I couldn't keep up with what she was saying. I don't know whether it was to portray the intensity of the situation, but I understood that from the words. I felt that, as we went on, she slowed down, but it could be that I was getting used to it.

Great storyline!

I really enjoyed this story which is the only reason I listened until the end. The narration by Jennifer Woodward was very irritating from the outset. Her voice is very monotone and it just wound me up. The narration by Nick Landrum was great. It would have been much more enjoyable with a better female narrator.
The storyline was fab and I would listen to another book by David Jackson for this reason.

Very clever!

I enjoyed this, it is very cleverly written and I didn’t expect the ending to be as it was, kept me on the edge until the end. Looking forward to reading more books from this Author

Scary & Thought Provoking

Fabulous book the female narrator had me on the edge of my seat on several occasions. This book caused a real conflict of emotions. So good, definitely recommend.
