This audiobook was just under 4 hours and narrated by A.J. Cook and Tessa Albertson. While most of the narration is done by Cook the phone calls made by Tessa seem so realistic and you can really hear the devastation and hurt in her voice.
This book was well done and I loved that it was a quick read and was able to finish it on release day before I went to bed. Lucinda has a way of making me think what would I do if I was a mother in this situation in a lot of her books.

I was enthralled in this story from beginning to end and finished it in 1 night. The story was face paced, gut wrenching and thought provoking. AJ Cooks narration was brilliant.

This was…..okay? Like a solid acceptable. It was mildly entertaining, but incredibly predictable. I think that thrillers just might not be my thing, and least not these kind.
