I was hesitant to hear a book with themes of abuse, and the death of a child. But Clare MacIntosh gives us mostly the police perspective at first, objective, analytical and investigative. She eases us into this world with detectives Ray and Kate (read by Steven Crossley), then introduces Jenna Gray, a sculptor so delicately read by Nicola Barber. The personal lives, the police procedural, everything is so fascinating. Then the story builds with revelations and twists and suspense, I couldn’t wait to see what happens next. The story becomes breathtaking and emotional. Very well done, and this book goes to the top of my list for this year.

This family saga that spans generations has interesting topics and historical content, but never builds any steam. Much of it feels like a news report, and there’s lots of meaningless encounters, cultural clichés, and shallow characters to not care about. It’s not awful, but I can’t recommend.

Jack’s set of skills is very unusual and is cleverly used throughout the story. She is a sympathetic British woman who doesn’t always make the smartest choices, but she is clever when it matters. What an emotional & energetic thriller about a woman on the run, evading the police and using her building penetration skills to find her husband's murderer. This is one I couldn’t put down.

The main character was reminiscent of a Jack Reacher type of hero, as he uncovers clues and beats up a-holes as he helps a mother search for her missing teenage daughter. The sex and violence are disturbing, and the hero dispensing justice is cathartic. This novel isn’t as well crafted as similar books, but it’s still quite an enjoyable read/listen.

Remarkable story, and although Hutchinson’s reading style is clearly amateur, I’m happy she told her own story, because it was real and honest. She brings us into her world to see how a hard-working intelligent woman could get swept into a sinister political world of poison for so long, and find her conscience in the nick of time.
