About this listen
What would you do if the man of your dreams hides the soul of a killer?
Jim Beckett was everything she'd ever dreamed of...But two years after Tess married the decorated cop and bore his child, she helped put him behind bars for savagely murdering ten women. Even locked up in a maximum security prison, he vowed he would come after her and make her pay. Now the cunning killer has escaped - and the most dangerous game of all begins....
After a lifetime of fear, Tess will do something she's never done before. She's going to learn to protect her daughter and fight back, with the help of a burned-out ex-marine. As the largest manhunt four states have ever seen mobilizes to catch Beckett, the clock winds down to the terrifying reunion between husband and wife. And Tess knows that this time, her only choices are to kill - or be killed.

A year later, the Lovegoods throw a housewarming party, showing off the results of their renovation. Ava doesn’t want to go. She can’t bear to look down that end of the road, to see the place where Abi vanished, and she doesn’t want to spend time with people who don’t share her grief.

The narration is excellent!
the sex scenes sounded forced and like they were written by someone that hadn't ever had good sex. They didn't add to the story so I suspect they were requested by a publisher.
Narration was good given the material. Narrator's voice is clear, pleasant, and well modulated. Enunciation is excellent and cadence is near perfect.

Fast Paced Thriller
This thriller has a little bit of everything - love, kidnapping, murder.... It was a great book, though a bit on the predictable side.

Definitely a fan of Lisa Gardner
I’d never read any of her books and picked this one up one day. Great story teller, intricately woven details that made you notice little things that then turned into a big thing. Suspense filled, good read, I’m now definitely a fan of hers. Will check out her other books.

Great Performance for a mediocre story
Narrator did a great job. Story was predictable and the female protagonist was unlikeable most of the book.

Fabulous Story, Just Too Much Sex
This was an amazing story. had me on the edge of my seat. Huge Lisa Gardner fan. My Audible library is filled with her buuuuut, this one went overboard on the sex.
I'm no prude, and for the mental state of Jim Beckett, sure, let's hear his fantasies, but the other characters...the details...too much.
It detracted for the storyline, and was placed at times no one would actually be having sex.
Really started to get on my nerves, I wasn't up for 50 Shades when I added this book to my library.
With that said, take out the overly detailed sex and this may be one of my favorite Lisa G. books.
I will be having Jim Beckett nightmares for weeks! :)

entertaining.
I was interested in the story, but taken out of it by too many "he was a grizzled lawless heroic dangerous man, and she was a damaged young beautiful quasi-virginal victim, and he more or less forced himself on her but she LOVED IT and subsequently learned to find herself and then save him" moments. I googled the author to check if it wasn't a man writing under a female name (not that only men write sexist cliches, just hoped a woman didn't write this, because I'm also sexist I suppose). I am a fan of the genre, and I enjoyed much of this book, but not sure I'll check out further books in the series.
