About this listen

Who is the baby the Texas Child Protection Services named Ruth Anne Lopez? Why, now that she is a teenager, is someone trying desperately to kill her?

Retired airman Billy Moody grabbed the pistol from Ruth Anne just as she pulled the trigger to commit suicide. He quickly won her trust and took her in. As Billy learns more about this kid and the abuse she had suffered as a foster child, he vows to provide her with a better life and to learn the truth of her birth. The only flaw in this plan is that he must keep the CPS, the system that failed Ruth Anne, from finding her. Well, that and protect her from someone who wants her dead. Billy employs a detective agency, and with the help of a newly accredited private investigator, learns about her surprising past and why her death is so important to someone.

Exciting, interesting, mystery, thriller!

This is a fast-paced, interesting, mystery/thriller about a young woman who escapes a couple of human traffickers and is found by a "guardian angel", retired Air Force Major, Billy Moody, Billy rescues young Ruth Anne, and with the help of more heroic characters - Doctor Greg Westhafer, Detective Hayden "Haystack" Greer - Billy and Ruth Anne embark on a mission to discover her true identity. Unfortunately, the good guys aren't the only ones seeking Ruthie's identity at birth. There is an assassin urgently seeking to eliminate Ruth Anne over the possibility that she could be heir to a business empire.

I love this story and I like the narrator. The narrator gives great voice to Ruthie and Hayden. I took a star off, however, since the narrator has difficulty pronouncing towns in Texas she is not familiar with - like Nacogdoches - and the voice-over sounds robotic. The narrator's flow becomes more natural as the story goes on. All in all, a great listen and I highly recommend!
