When Hope was 6-years-old, her twin Felicity was kidnapped and never found. As an adult, Hope is a Family Court judge and her husband Edward, a defense attorney, and they have a daughter named Krissy who is now 5-years-old. Krissy has just gone missing. Both parents search their past of enemies (products of their professions) to find clues to locate their daughter. They also wonder if there is a connection between Felicity's kidnapping and Krissy's.
This audioread almost received a 4/5 (very good) rating, but the ending had a component I didn't believe. However, it's one of those things that I would ask myself, "Who am I to know if that's how a person would act?" Also, I was on the fence regarding a member of the Forensic Instincts group - a psychic. I don't know if I like that input or not - in regard to advancing the story. It seems like a cop out to use a psychic to give us clues. Overall, I really enjoyed the plot and look forward to the second in the series.
Now I'm curious about the ending. lol
ReplyDeleteBermudaonion ~ Read it and we'll see if we agree. :)
DeleteIt almost got a 4! i think I might have to read or listen to this one!
ReplyDeleteStaci ~ I definitely want to listen to the next one. If you do give it a try, I hope you enjoy it.
DeleteI REALLY don't need to start another series, but this one sounds pretty good. I actually like when psychics are involved in plots like this one, so I think I'll enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteJoanna ~ Oh, then yes, this may be a series you would really like. She doesn't play a huge role in this one, because she's new to the team, but she's definitely there.
DeleteI agree that psychic clues seem like a cop-out.
ReplyDeleteSherry ~ Yeah, that kind of annoyed me.
DeleteI've been wanting to try this series for awhile not but haven't taken the time to. I even have one of her other books on my shelves. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it even if the book didn't quite work for you.
ReplyDeleteSamantha ~ I'm glad I finally took the plunge! And, I look forward to being on the next case with the Forensic Instincts team.
