About this listen

From the author of The Pilot’s Daughter and The Final Hunt comes a thrilling, suspense-driven mystery set in World War II-era Seattle.

Seattle, 1942. News of the war is interrupted by the kidnapping of young Max Ellis, heir to the wealthiest banking family on the west coast. When the boy’s parents comply with the ransom demands, the kidnapper is found dead and their son remains missing. For newlywed Vera Chandler, the story hits close to home—her husband Hugh is just six months into his job as the Ellis’s private pilot.

Within days, Hugh is deployed to the Pacific as a navy pilot, while Vera’s flying instructor and best friend joins the Women’s Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron. Left alone, her parents’ words haunt her: If you really wanted to serve your country, you wouldn’t have dropped out of nursing school.

In an exchange for a favor that Vera can’t refuse, she is pulled into the Ellis family affairs by the desperate mother of the missing child. The Ellis family, Vera learns firsthand, is as dangerous as they are rich. Soon, she is in a race to save the child’s life, and it could be the only way she can save her own.

Courageous Women

The story was good. I was not crazy about the narrator & I am truly sorry to say that. Also, the use of the word ‘toward’ or ‘towards’ was ridiculously over used it got under my skin.

Suspenseful

This story was slow getting started but once it did, it had me on the edge of my seat. Would make a great movie.

Good story badly told

And even more poorly narrated. This had to have been self-published, as there is no evidence of an editor’s hand anywhere. Misused words abound. “She let out an exacerbated sigh.” Really? Either the writer is a 20-something with a limited vocabulary and no editor, or the narrator is an even bigger idiot with a producer who didn’t notice a problem. either. (By the way, the Vera narrator was far better than the Priscilla narrator, who could not simply tell the story without trying to infuse it with Acting.). It’s not just the writer’s poor word choices, these characters sometimes make really stupid choices, completely unbelievable. At times the thing reads like a YA novel, and not a very good one at that. I almost quit several times but I kept hoping it would get better. It did not. Kind of too bad because the subject is one worth writing about, women’s role as pilots in World War II. The author obviously knew a lot about that, but sadly that doesn’t make you a good writer. I apologize for my irritability, but I really do wonder sometimes how these things get published. “She took a likening to her” ??
