Story4.5 out of 5 stars 33
In rural Somerset, in the middle of a blizzard, the unthinkable happens: a school is under siege. From the wounded headmaster in the library, unable to help his trapped pupils and staff, to teenage Hannah in love for the first time, to the parents gathering, desperate for news, to the 16 year old Syrian refugee trying to rescue his little brother, to the police psychologist who must identify the gunmen, to the students taking refuge in the school theatre, all experience the most intense hours of their lives, where evil and terror are met by courage, love and redemption.

Three years ago, Gabe saw his daughter taken. In the back of a rusty old car, covered in bumper stickers. He was driving behind the car. He watched her disappear. But no one believes him. Most people believe that his daughter and wife are dead. For a while, people believed that Gabe was responsible. Three years later and Gabe cannot give up hope. Even though he has given up everything else. His home, his job, his old life.

Super Fast Paced with twists and turns
Reviewed: 25-02-2020
This is one of the most entertaining books I’ve listened to in a long time. Great pace, no long winded descriptions of scenery, sunsets or the colour of some waiter’s shoes!! The author has gone to extraordinary lengths to interweave characters and make you say “oh what the...” quite a few times as things unravel. Not because the twists are ridiculous (quite the opposite) - they’re just not what you expected over and over again until you can’t believe the author is still pulling out more twists and you still aren’t entirely sure exactly what’s going on!!

When single mother Darcy’s son falls from a rope bridge at a local playground, life stands still. She clutches his small, limp body, frozen, until a pair of strong hands push her aside, and she watches as George, a local doctor, saves her son’s life. George, with his twinkling hazel eyes, easy charm and lack of wedding band is almost too good to be true, but coffee becomes lunch, lunch becomes dinner, and soon they can’t go an evening without seeing each other.

Slow
Reviewed: 09-02-2020
This is such a slow story, there’s very little real suspense - just a whole bunch of people all with obvious ulterior motives that aren’t at all clear. You don’t have a sense of uncovering facts along the way - it just drags on and on with a bunch of mysteries until the very end when the whole thing is laid on the table in 1 minute flat and you kind of think “really...?” The twist doesn’t match the narrative, you don’t look back and think “oh yeah - I see how I missed that” - there are obvious situations where you know there’s more to particular characters’ relationships but there’s not enough unpacking done of these relationships for you to have enough to form any real opinions about where the plot might be going.

Jane Hawk knows she may be living on borrowed time. But as long as she’s breathing, she’ll never cease her one-woman war against the terrifying conspiracy that threatens the freedom - and free will - of millions. Battling the strange epidemic of murder-suicides that claimed Jane’s husband, and is escalating across the country, has made the rogue FBI agent a wanted fugitive, relentlessly hunted not only by the government but by the secret cabal behind the plot.

Repetitive repetitive repetitive

Oh boy!! Compared to the first two Jane Hawk books this is sooo slow with over the top descriptions reminiscent of Stephen King at his worst and at least 1/4 of the story dedicated to apparent dead ends. This was hard work!
