Unprofessional - needs an audit and an editor
Contains Spoilers...
Protagonist is beyond gullible. A doctor, famed and renowned for her surgical skills... yet leaves her only child unattended in a hospital waiting room (he is 6 years old). In the most obvious foreshadowing, he is abducted.
She has previously merely accepted her husband's infidelity without any emotion, when he left her for a patient she sterilised on the operating table after failing to save her baby.
Then husband's subsequent death in her arms (note she is a renowned doctor) by insulin overdose which she simply takes in her stride... while she pursues the husband's girlfriend - the one she sterilised, who was allegedly murdered but no body found, and that murder confessed to in a suicide note, having been committed by the now dead husband... really... come on...
Narration is ok, but the accents are terrible. Police inspector sounds like a 12 year old girl, so unrealistic. Some great ingredients for a good story, but poorly executed, badly edited and probably self published by a vanity project - cannot possibly be a professional publisher putting this out when it needs so much rework.
I'm giving up - there are so many better books out there, don't waste your precious time.

slow start
didn't like the narrator but eventually got used to her. The story took a while to get going but was full of twists which made it interesting

Didn't finish
Dragged on. Got quite dull. None of the characters were likeable. A shame as I really enjoyed Surrogate.

Slow
Probably the worst book I’ve ever read/listened to. Unrealistic story line, how can someone have so much go wrong - even in fiction 🙄

Stunning mystery/thriller
Although a little predictable it was a delightful audiobook to listen to. I liked the characters and how they were presented to the listener - almost making them 3 D

Ultimate victory over evil
Great story and told well depicting the depth of a mother's love for her child and the lengths she would go to in order to save him whilst still being compassionate to even the evil perpetrators and so true to self
