Publisher's summary

Approximately 150,000 children go missing in the UK every year. That's one child every three and a half minutes.

Abduction:

Every parent's worst nightmare: Seven-year-old Natalie Barrett is snatched while walking home from school on a Friday afternoon. The police begin a desperate hunt to find her before it is too late. They fear the worst when a body is located near a golf course.

The fallout:

Sarah Jenson is Natalie's teacher. When one of the detectives on the case is suddenly killed, Sarah believes the events may be linked and begins to search for answers. With suspects stacking up, she is in a race against time to discover the true identity of the perpetrator before Natalie winds up as another statistic.

Unanswered questions:

Where were Natalie's parents when they should have been collecting her? Why was Natalie so scared of her uncle Jimmy? Could a convicted sexual offender from Sarah's past be involved?

Children not found within the first 72 hours rarely return home alive. Sarah knows the clock is ticking....

Abduction, terror, suspense, and sorrow: Snatched is a breathtaking British crime thriller set in Southampton.

Has promise but misses the mark.

There was a lot wrong with this book and yet I somehow felt compelled to see it through to the end. The characters were not particularly likeable and frankly behaved in the most ridiculous and unsympathetic of ways. The dialogue was clunky and unnatural and the narrator frequently mispronounced or repeated words, at one point she laughed and then repeated an entire section! The story was pretty straightforward and the ‘who’ was easy to guess, yet I ploughed on. I can’t see myself buying any of this author’s other books (though he’s very popular) the lack of attention to important detail annoyed me too much (since when have the emergency services operators told you that you can only have the police OR the ambulance and not both?!) but if you are prepared to suspend disbelief for a few hours then the story isn’t terrible.

This was a really good book. While the subject is upsetting, this story needs to be told.

I only listened to the first 15 minutes or so

I did not get far into the book before realizing that 2 of the main characters were in a homosexual relationship. Although this country has been effective in pushing this down our throats calling it hate speech if we do not welcome it with open arms, I am a Christian and it is Gods word that this behavior is a abomination, I really don't care what your sexual preferences are as that is between you and God. But when purchasing a book there is always a list of things for example this book might not be appropriate for younger readers, I think before we spend our money on books that we should be told that there is homosexual content. I know that our country has fallen into a place I no longer recognize the bible says in the last days what is right will become wrong and what is wrong will become right, we still have freedom of speech in this country and I condemn no one for there sexual preferences, all I ask is that it is put in the info about who this book might not be right for.
