Publisher's summary

November, and evening is closing in as DI Jack Caffery arrives to interview the victim of a stolen car. The man who's stolen the car has also taken an eleven year-old girl.

And she's still missing. Sergeant Flea Marley has heard about the car-jacker. He's done it before, she tells Caffery. Twice. Only previously he's let the girls go.

A day later the car is found. Inside, there's a letter: “It's started”. And Caffery knows that soon the jacker will choose another random car, the only important thing being the girl in the back seat. Caffery's a good and instinctive cop but this time the jacker seems to be ahead of him - every step of the way....

Gripping

This is one of those rare books that I couldn't put down and had to listen to at the expense of everything else.
Very emotive especially to anyone who has a child. The narrator was great at the different accents.
I like that the romance didn't take over the novel. It's a crime novel first and foremost.
Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys British crime novels

Good book for me as I travel by air a lot, and actually look forward to waiting for take-off etc so that I can catch up.

Winner of Edgar Award for 2012

This is my introduction to Mo Hayder.

I have just downloaded a second of her books. Interested? Yes I am.
The characters are plausable.
The story is interesting and a little scary,

It is a part of a series and the most recent available on Audible.
So perhaps, in my not being familiar with what has gone before I may
be losing something. Keeping that in mind I also figure a story can
hold its own.

For me though Mo Hayder is good enough to listen to a second of
her books in the series.

In a way she is setting her own style in letting her characters be
themselves and I do find that interesting. While the series does follow
a main character, the story line and plots explores how people do
respond to and react to others and how this influences what happens next.

No super hero as such, but a team with a team leader is viewed in action.
The ideosyncratic motivations and interactions are followed, and so there
are sub plots. It is these that I expect do develop through the series.
