Saving Max

By: Antoinette van Heugten

Narrated by: Therese Plummer

Max Parkman - autistic and whip-smart, emotionally fragile and aggressive - is perfect in his mother's eyes. Until he's accused of murder. Attorney Danielle Parkman knows her teenage son Max's behavior has been getting worse - using drugs and lashing out. But she can't accept the diagnosis she receives at a top-notch adolescent psychiatric facility that her son is deeply disturbed. Dangerous.

Until, that is, she finds Max, unconscious and bloodied, beside a patient who has been brutally stabbed to death. Trapped in a world of doubt and fear, barred from contacting Max, Danielle clings to the belief that her son is innocent. But has she, too, lost touch with reality? Is her son really a killer? With the justice system bearing down on them, Danielle steels herself to discover the truth, no matter what it is. She'll do whatever it takes to find the killer and to save her son from being destroyed by a system that's all too eager to convict him.

Was okay

I had some trouble getting over the decedent (a person who has died) being referred to as a descendant on and off throughout the book - probably petty but was done over and over. The story was pretty good but way too far fetched for me.

It was okay

While I enjoyed the overall plot there were times when I wanted to skip ahead. The Mom made many poor choices and the ending seemed far fetched. The narrator was also something I didn’t care for.

Narrator awesome - as usual

Narrator was great, as usual. The book started out good but then the storyline took an incredulous turn. I found myself checking the timer to see how much longer until the book was over.

well done storyline & narration

I bit of a slow burn for some but the way it was written and performed kept me on the hook from minute 1! highly recommend all around! the PI, hands down my fave!
