What a rollercoaster! This book moved fast, leaving the reader trying to guess what the truth was. And boy did it leave you on a cliffhanger. I need to read the next book ASAP.

excellent, written in the late 80's early 90's, just like what i read in high school and i LOVE these older books.  I need to get the rest of the series.  Im so happy this hasn't been updated- characters are 'dialing the phone' and need a 'dime for the payphone' 'reading the paper' etc.  the storyline is right out of the 80's  LOVE IT!

This was a fun story with many twists and turns. Most of them I guessed which is to be expected when you have read a lot of thrillers. This read as a bit juvenile to me but with that being said, I did place the second book on hold from Libby…. 

I enjoyed the characters and without spoilers I am VERY intrigued to see what happens next in the story!

This was a quick read and could be read in one sitting. I have read so many books about kidnappings, but this one is based on a very different perspective. The ending leaves you wanting to jump into the next book right away.
