About this listen

The phone rings. It's your daughter. She's been dead for four months. So begins East Texas police dispatcher Ian Hunt's fight to get his daughter back. The call is cut off by the man who snatched her from her bedroom seven years ago, and a basic description of the kidnapper is all Ian has to go on.

Had my heart beating

This was a great story. I'm not a huge thriller/suspense lover but thought this sounded really good and took a chance. It grabbed me from the 911 call through to the end. While some may find it a bit violent, I was so very, very heartened by the author not including sexual assault in this story.

The manner in which the kidnapper got himself on the suspect list seemed innocuous at the time, but was genius on the author's part!

This story showed the lengths a person would go to to make the one they loved happy. I like to think the Dispatcher lived, but it didn't look good and it was never confirmed. I was hoping for a short epilogue, but in hindsight, it had no place for one.

The narration was good - I could easily tell which character I was listening to, pace was on point and none of the voices were objectionable. I've recently gotten into graphicaudio so sometimes find that regular audiobooks bore me, but this one did not. All in all, worth a listen.
