Stolen by Daniel Palmer
4.0
Daniel Palmer’s STOLEN is a fast-paced, engrossing, and intense suspense thriller. A desperate man and woman reach out for help and make a deal with the devil.
Having read DESPERATE 5 Stars, wanted to go back and read some of Palmer’s previous books, as I seem to start with newest releases and work my way backward. I devour audiobooks in between reading new ARC releases, and especially when I come across a thriller read by narrator Peter Berkrot (as his voice alone is chilling– swoon).
John Bodine, is an avid mountain climber from Boston, and faces a tough choice after an avalanche sweeps his two companions over a ridge line in Tibet. In order to survive, John must cut one of the ropes, connecting him to his friends, causing one of them to fall to fall to his death.
Now, John and Ruby have a great life, with a thriving business. However, when John learns that his insurance company won’t pay for the expensive treatment his wife needs after being diagnosed with late-stage cancer, he has nowhere to turn. He cannot afford the medication without insurance and he cannot watch his wife die.
So, he decides to steal the identity of another man, who does have insurance and files a false claim. He is great with technology as he writes and designs computer games. (he gets this guy’s name from his gaming data base). He lets his wife in on the plan, as she does not like but goes along with it. They even move to another address, rent out their old place, and use their new names in the event they are checked upon. Everything seems to working as planned, and the medication is working UNTIL, the customer contacts John with a shocker.
The Deal with the Devil: If he and Ruby will play along with a game he has devised. If they do so, he will not report them. They have to commit real crimes, and if they fail, it will be deadly. Crazy, right? The suspense, and danger heats up, leaving you holding your breath, as two desperate people fight to survive, and now connected to a twisted serial killer!
WOW! A powerful suspense, as fell in love with Ruby and John and your heart goes out them, when faced with this challenge to find themselves living in a nightmare.
I am loving Daniel Palmer’s writing, and have already purchased two additional audiobooks, Delirious and Helpless (love his one word strong titles). Please continue using Peter Berkrot, as you guys are a perfect match for a dynamic delivery. Fans of thrillers, and fast-paced action, Daniel is your man!
