Okay story but very poor writing.

This is off to a heart-wrenching start, then tends to be just action and drama for the bulk of the rest of it. There’s some police-procedural mixed with an ex Airforce operative gone rogue to find her kid.
There were a few instances were I questioned continuity and/ plausibility and I think this author might value convenience over these things at times but still, for the most part, this was a fun listen.

Also a lot of space was taken up by repeating things—this author would do well to sharpen their writing skills or at least use a stronger editor. This book was made longer due to almost every single thought, statement, etc. being repeated … multiple times. It’s very poor writing.

Overall, 3 stars.
(Would’ve easily been 4 if it had solid continuity & better writing..)

While I mostly enjoyed this book, the poor writing is a concern—I’m not sure I’d read anything else by this author.

Audio—
This narrator was good, though not one that performs instead of just reading robotically. But more pleasant to listen to than AI so, no complaints.
The production was smooth throughout, except for once or twice when a line was repeated.
3.5 stars on this front.
