Daniel is my son. He has always been mine. And he always will be.

On some level deep inside, Laura Bateman knows something is wrong. That her relationship with her son is not what it should be. That it is based on lies.

But bad things have happened to Laura. Things that change a person. Forever.

For twenty-six-year-old Daniel, the discovery that his mother is not who he thought comes close to destroying him. As his world turns upside down, he searches for sanity in the madness that has become his life. Daniel is left with nothing but questions. Why did Laura do something so terrible? Can he move past the demons of his childhood?

And the biggest question of all: can he ever forgive Laura?

I couldn't stop listening to this book. As a Mother, it touched my heart and left me speechless. One minute I don't like her and then I'm feeling sad for her. Daniel, her son, well I just wanted to hug him. Don't want to give anything away so I will just say BUY IT! Definitely worth the money. So glad I didn't pass by this one. 😀😀😀

The writing was beautiful, the narration by the two narrators awesome! Very emotional book for me cried a lot . But it was so worth it excellent book I recommend it for everyone. This is the first time I've read this author. And I will be visiting more of her books.

slow start, but good. More action could've made the story more interesting. Vocals were so so.

ok

The female narrator, Susan Duerden, has this awful habit of rising up in inflection at the end of every sentence regardless of context. This was distracting and annoying.

Good story, poor narration

This story was gripping but pretty sick! Yes, the world is a tough place and people go through bad things, but so we need so many details?

Slightly demented

If your looking for psychological thriller this is not one. It has mental illness but nothing thriller about it. It has triggers for those who have lost a baby-especially to crib death. This story is more about a mother grieving with many things happening in her teenage years. It’s fast paced and doesn’t drag on with unnecessary fillers.

Not a thriller but good read.

His Kidnappers Shoes was advertised as a psychological thriller, but I didn't find it suspenseful or thrilling at all. Even though this book wasn't what I was expecting, I still really enjoyed the Daniel and Laura's stories.

Daniel just found out, as an adult, that the woman who raised him kidnapped him from his biological family. I've always wondered how an adult would process this. If the family who kidnapped him gave him a good life, would he be angry? If the home he grew up in was bad, would it fuel his anger further? Daniel's reactions to this life-altering news seemed very genuine and realistic to me. There were some parts of the story that moved a little slower than I usually like, but it still held my attention and took me for a ride.

I chose to listen to the audiobook version of His Kidnappers Shoes and ended up with mixed feelings about the narration. I felt the male narrator, Nico Evers-Swindell, did a great job voicing Daniel's chapters, but the female narrator, Susan Duerden, left me with mixed feelings. There were some places the female narration seemed too breathy, if that makes any sense. I ended up getting used to the female narration, but it could be frustrating at times.

Not Very Suspenseful, But Still A Good Listen

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Typical psychotic kidnapper and traumatized adult son. Crass language, and nothing uniquely drawing. I wasted three hours.
