About this listen

Despite the angry scars she carries from her childhood training, Zoe Lorel has reached a good place in her life. She has her dream job as an elite operative in an international spy agency and found her true love. Her world is mostly perfect—until she is sent to abduct a nine-year-old girl. The girl is the only one who knows the riddle that holds the code to unleash the most lethal weapon on earth—the first ever "invisibility" nanoweapon, a cloaking spider bot.

Zoe's agency is not the only one after the child. China developed the cloaking bot and will stop at nothing to keep its code secret. While China rapidly hones in on Zoe, her threats grow. Enemies in Austria and Bulgaria reveal the invisibility weapon's existence to underground arms dealers—now every government and terrorist organization in the world want the nanobot.

From Malta to the Italian Alps to England, Zoe races to save not only the child she has grown to care about, but also herself. Her drug addiction is threatening her engagement to the one person who brings her happiness, yet she needs the agency prescribed pills. They transform her into the icy killer she must be to survive. Can she still be ruthless without the chemicals that suppress her emotions?

Riddle Me This…

Angela Greenman is a new author to me. I am a thriller fan and this did not disappoint. I thought she captured the character of Lea beautifully and Zoe’s angst about being a mother very real. I hope there may be a follow up story someday. Xe Sands, narrator brought all the characters to life. I would listen to her again. Job well done!

Entertaining techno thriller

The Child Riddler is an extremely entertaining techno-thriller expertly written by internationally recognized communications professional and newly minted author, Angela Greenman.

Ms. Greenman has painstakingly plotted and beautifully delivered to her readers and listeners an against the clock roller coaster of a globetrotting adventure, filled with memorable characters, scary scenarios, fast action, special operators, secret missions, espionage, romance, chases, gun fights, exhilarating close quarter combat, exotic locations, plus some beautiful descriptions of cities and architecture.

The story follows Zoe, a badass female operative working for a private agency, handling sensitive assignments and operations. Although for Zoe the mission comes always first, she also tries to balance her work & life with the need to have an actual family. But when she is sent to kidnap a young girl, her life is turned upside down and with the world’s security at stake, Zoe is forced to get her priorities straight.

The audiobook version of The Child Riddler is beautifully brought to life by talented voiceover artist and award-winning narrator Xe Sands. Delivering a natural, engaging and entertaining performance, Xe Sands manages to delight the listener tremendously by creating a complete level of immersion with this audio production. She reads, she acts, she gets emotional when needed or ice cold when the situation demands it, she switches voices and accents seamlessly and she entertains always!

If you like high octane thrillers, driven by a captivating story, tridimensional characters, well written action scenes, and are a fan of authors like Gayle Lynds, D.V. Berkom or Taylor Stevens, then I highly recommend that you check out The Child Riddler by Angela Greenman. I really enjoyed this adventure starring Zoe, the Wild Cat of covert operations, and I hope more of them will be coming our way in the future!

Not my cup of tea

There were some thrills that kept me on the edge of my seat, but inbetween there were hours of what I considered irrelevant character development.

The reader struggled to provide good male voices but otherwise she did very well.

Clearly this story pleases some but I was looking for nearly nonstop thrills which this doesn't provide.
