That was one of the best short stories I've ever read. I don't usually do missing children stories but Karin as always, done it so well. Will Trent and his crew are so clever and that ending was the most beautiful ending ever, I actually had tears in my eyes, happy tears, from a KARIN SLAUGHTER book!

Will has managed to annoy his boss, Amanda, yet again and has been assigned men's toilet duty at the airport. His main job is to intercept men meeting up for a bit of hanky panky but when he overhears a man telling off a young girl in the stall next to him, his gut tells him there's something wrong. Is he about to chase a stressed father across the airport for no reason or is the little girl in danger?

Snatched is either a long short story or a short novella in the Will Trent/Grant County universe. Whilst nothing crucial happens to ongoing plot threads during the book, there is a relationship spoiler for the rest of the series on page one, so you may want to avoid it if you think you want to read the rest in order. It does however work perfectly fine by itself, being an entertaining little filler. It seems to be a growing trend in the marketing of series, to release a shorter ebook in the months before the next instalment is due and Snatched also contains a sample of Criminal.
