My Review
Abducted is a compelling crime thriller that takes readers on a journey through the lives of victims and investigative teams and they race against time to stop a rapist, help abused children, and shutdown a sex ring.
Abducted starts off with a terrified woman hiding in the woods as she tries to escape her captor. When Becky is finally rescued she informs the police of the horrific ordeal she faced at the hands of a rapist. A concerned officer puts her at ease and is determined to find the culprit, but it isn't until the rapist claims another victim, that Jim realizes he has a serial rapist on his hands. To make matters worse his wife files for divorce and the criminal cases seem to be piling up. Can Jim and his team uncover the clues they need to put those involved behind bars where they belong?
I found Abducted to be a straightforward and well organized novel. The author's knowledge of police work and criminal investigations aid in the story's credibility. The story moves along at a quick pace and anticipating what will happen next makes it a mesmerizing read from beginning to end.
I recommend picking up a copy.
