About this listen

Morgan Cooper has always found it difficult to balance her home life - mother of two young children and wife of a workaholic civil rights lawyer - with her work life as an undercover CIA officer.

When Morgan gets stressed, anxious, or scared, whether at home or in the field, she tends to talk to herself until she can clear her head. This habit, though, puts her life in danger during an assignment in the strife-torn Gaza Strip.

After leaving home posing as a diplomat, Morgan meets her contact, Abdel Nasser, and the two begin monitoring the warring Fatah and Hamas factions. On the Strip, the betrayals and contradictions of her personal and working lives catch up with her. Soon, Morgan and Nasser are kidnapped by an extremist organization with links to al-Qaeda.

When Adam, Morgan's husband, receives word of her kidnapping, he is assured by Morgan's bosses at the CIA that the organization is doing everything they can to find his wife. When days pass with no developments or new information, Adam decides to look for Morgan on his own.

Inspired by actual events, Taking Morgan is a gripping novel of political intrigue and suspense. It is also the deeply affecting story of a modern couple struggling with their marriage, suddenly at risk of losing each other forever.

The ending has no closure

Good until the last two chapters. The ending is awful, nothing gets wrapped up. It was just all the sudden over

Excellent

This was an excellent book. Still hard to believe it was included and did not require a credit. Definitely worth a credit if they ever require one.

unrealistic

An amateurish written romance, that thinks its a political thriller. Unrealistic CIA interactions. Entertaining, but not engaging

Less than spectacular ending

This listen left me feeling sad and not very entertained. It was rather depressing at the end and also that the bully/bad guy was not revealed for punishment.
