Unabridged Audiobook
My first book by this author, I listened to the whole book with bated breath. The plot lines were weaved seamlessly where I was shown all that happened in a span of time and the journey henceforth. Emotions were right at the surface, the narrator Elisabeth Rodgers, could give them life with the pitch and intonation. Expressions could be heard as she read through the book. With multiple POVs, the author bound them all together, the abject grief of the mother and the confusion of the missing children at the strange surrounding touched my heart. I was given the kidnapper's thoughts too, an added understanding to wickedness and desperation. Evil had many faces. A couple of niggles, the audio was too low at maximum volume, and the voice of the narrator screeched suddenly (a blast on my eardrum) while doing the bird and children's voices. I had to keep my finger on the volume button constantly. A debut this was like no other that pulled at my heartstrings and soothed my thriller-y mind.
