I enjoyed the first part of the book. The actual kidnapping was really good and engaging. I could not stop listening my it was the second portion that was bland and boring.

Started off strong but rest is lacking

The opening lines caught me off guard, American accents, where’s Sean Duffy?

I pre ordered on Audible months ago, didn’t recall what it was about. It’s a book by Adrian McKinty so it has to be good, and it didn’t disappoint. Absolutely enthralling. Highly recommended.

American accents!

First of all this is only a four star review because of how slow it felt at certain points throughout the book. The ending was well done and didn’t leave me thinking huh…what just happened like a lot of thriller books seem to like these days (I hate unfinished endings or rushed). The ending felt like a natural progression of the story and not rushed at all without being too drawn out. The drawn out part was in the middle of the story where there was a bit of jumping around but you could understand it eventually but I thought I had zoned out and missed something so I re-read several chapters multiple times to make sure, it was just a sudden jump which initially seemed weird and not fitting for where the story was prior to the jump. Overall though, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to exploring some more books written by this author.

A great read that was well written but sometimes dragged along
