Story
Ali and Christopher Tolfrey's one-year-old daughter, Eden, is abducted whilst in the care of Ali’s best-friend. Snatched in broad daylight from Bushy Park on a trip to the swings, Eden disappears without a trace. Brooke Simmons regains consciousness, dazed from a blow to the head, to find Eden, her best friend's child, missing. Someone has taken Eden, and Brooke knows who. But it's a secret she can't share with Ali or the police without revealing the web of deceit she's spun.

There is no more a master of English pros me than PG Woodhouse. Every time I listen to any of his writings, I chuckle laugh, guffaw and smile.this particular set is superb! Bertie is performed brilliantly, Jeeves is Oscar worthy! (When the Oscars meant something other than a woke lecture!)

Story
A bit of adventure and quick cash is all that good-natured drifter Anthony Cade is looking for when he accepts a messenger job from an old friend. It sounds so simple: deliver the provocative memoirs of a recently deceased European count to a London publisher. Little did Anthony suspect that a simple errand to deliver the manuscript on behalf of his friend would drop him right in the middle of an international conspiracy, and he begins to realize that it has placed him in serious danger.

When the rules turn deadly, winning is everything. Only available from Audible, a gripping psychological thriller from the author of Silent Child, Saving April, and The Broken Ones. Perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn, Lisa Jewell and Paula Hawkins. The perfect couple. The perfect marriage. The perfect game. Effie and Ben May have everything. Success. Beauty. Glamour. But beneath the charming smiles and expensive clothes, a twisted game is in progress. A game for which only they know the rules.

I like the way the author portrayed these two evil people showing the narcissist that they were started to feel a little. Sorry for Effie, but then quickly change my mind. Beautifully narrated and acted out.

The storyline was tight. I particularly enjoyed all the cross references to old films and sci-fi writers. I thought it was a bit gratuitous to insert transgender into the storyline, but it worked. Overall, I found it engaging and believable.

Harry Bosch at his greatest. Teaming up with Ballard is a really nice twist. I enjoyed the storyline especially references to the pandemic. I thought some of the underlying message about the pandemic was a bit too political for my taste.

Loved this book especially the narrator!! He made the action believable and real! The detailed description of the weapons, bombs, middles and more was fun! The author’s command of tactical data was impressive. I listened to the book on a weekly commute which made the drive more enjoyable. Look forward to more from Greaney and Lt. Col Rawlings
