Story
Last night, we celebrated our anniversary. Over candlelight, we talked about the children, our work, and I was so happy, and felt so loved. But the next morning, when I check my phone, there is a message. From a friend. And a string of photos appear of my husband, Will, with another woman: walking along the street holding hands. Going into fancy hotels. Standing at a window, his arms around her, her head on his shoulder…

Three-and-a-half years later, in the dead of winter, the children are returned to their families...one by one. All except for Ivy - the granddaughter of Homicide Detective Kate Wakeland. The other four children say Ivy is dead.

Publisher's Summary
Winner of the CWA Goldsboro Gold Dagger award 2015
Why would a man escape from prison the day before he's due to be released?
Audie Palmer has spent a decade in prison for an armed robbery in which four people died, including two of the gang. Seven million dollars has never been recovered and everybody believes that Audie knows where the money is. For 10 years he has been beaten, stabbed, throttled, and threatened almost daily by prison guards, inmates, and criminal gangs, who all want to answer this same question, but suddenly Audie vanishes, the day before he's due to be released. Everybody wants to find Audie, but he's not running. Instead he's trying to save a life...and not just his own.

An unfolding story!
What did you like most about Life or Death?
I loved listening to this one (even with the male narrator sometimes creating an 'interesting' southern woman's voice). The story is an 'unfolding' one which can be slightly confusing at times but seems to clear up a few minutes later. The main character is the likeable Audie who escapes from prison the day before he's meant to be released from a 10 year armed robbery jail sentence. I loved how the story started to make more sense as I went along. Gripping & great, 5 stars!

Favourite Michael Robotham yet!
This book had me from the very start and kept me guessing the whole way through! I read the book first and six months later listened to the audiobook. I read quickly, especially thrillers, so I miss nuances that I pick up by listening to a book. It's all about why would a man escape from prison the night before he was due to be released, after serving 10 years? How he planned the escape and the escape itself are gripping, you feel as though you are there with Audie. Those who helped him on his way are memorable and the back story will tug at your heart. I love all of Michael Robotham's books, Boomproof is another standalone, but Life or Death is by far my favourite!

This book took me a while to get into because it was much different to other novels by Michael Robotham, however, the ending made it all worth it and it came together really well! Loved it!

Interesting story but not captivating.
The book is written from the God view, and I got lost with the jumps from character to character, sometimes in a paragraph. The audio is worse as there is no discernable break so you are with one character - oh, no your not. Overall pretty good. Plausibility only 5/10. John Chance does a fine job of staying in character with his voices. Syrupy ending.
