He lived by the rules – until the only rule that mattered was survival.

Recovering from a gunshot wound that nearly cost him his life, Tom Douglas isn’t focused on himself – his concern is for his brother Jack, who seems to have vanished without a trace. Jack’s past is as dangerous as it is complicated. Years ago, he faked his own death to escape an organised crime group, and ever since, he’s been living in the shadows, always one step ahead of those who want to hunt him down.

Now, Tom’s worst fears are coming true. Has Jack’s past finally caught up with him? If so, what has become of his family? Tom has to find them, but the answers he seeks are hidden in a brutal underworld - one more dangerous than anything Tom has faced before.

As he delves into Jack’s secretive life, Tom is forced to confront ruthless enemies, putting his own life on the line. With time running out, he must decide how far he’s willing to go and how much he’s prepared to sacrifice, knowing it will mean crossing a line he swore he never would.

Great plot and performance! Love Tom Douglass series and this is a great development of his story and set up for the next adventure. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

The story was good. I'd have preferred a more normal Tom Douglas story, but this one was all about Tom helping his brother. Hoping we'll get back to crime-solving, figuring-out-the-mystery sort of book in her next venture with Tom..

The narrator was not good. When listening to a professional narrator, I expect to be able to distinguish between charactors. That wasn't the case here. I couldn't even distinguish between male and female characters. Seriously, how do you get a job as narrator these days without mastering these basics? The narrator droned on monotonously. Although I enjoyed the novel itself, I'm glad to move on to another book with a different voice

Rachael Abbott writes good novels, but she usually doesn't get good narrators. I've noticed this regarding quite a few (most} of her books. What's up with that, Ms. Abbott? Do you not have any say in choosing who reads your books?

“Whatever It Takes” by Rachel Abbott is a gripping thriller that delivers another captivating and audictive adventure. Narrated by Lisa Coleman, this 12th installment in the DCI Tom Douglas series is a suspenseful delight. Tom’s on a mission to find his brother Jack, who’s gone missing, and the trail leads Tom into a dark underworld of ruthless enemies and moral dilemmas. With his own life at risk, he must decide how far he'll go. Coleman’s narration perfectly complements Abbott’s writing, bringing the story to vivid life with unexpected twists and turns. If you're like me and looking for a suspenseful story that will resonate, look no further than “Whatever It Takes, a must-listen for fans of the series and new listeners alike. Epic, indeed! Looking forward to Book 13.

Hard to listen to because the one female narrator did all the parts which were predominately men. Hard to keep up with who was speaking. The plot was thin but took forever to get to and by that point I lost my interest. Usually really enjoy these characters and writer but I would pass on this one.

Monotonous
