Liked It A Lot

This book was good from start to finish the narrator kept you wanting to listen the perfect voice to listen to and the story was very realistic and would make us all went to be better parents.

impressed!!

I am a fan of Cathy Glass books, but was skeptical about reading a mystery book that was fiction, I'm so glad I read this book, it was edge of ur seat good, don't want to get out of my car (audible) good!! Now I will go on to more Lisa Stone books!!!

Great read!!!

if you enjoy Cathy Glass's books you'll love this book. started a little slow but it gets better. 'can't put it down better'.Cant wait to read more of this author's books.

Good story but not accomplished well

This could have been much better. I liked the story. The performance was really good too. But I hate characters that are stupid. The police are so far from anything that seems logical and they rely on their personal feelings instead of the actual evidence and I got more mad at the them than the actual antagonist. There could have Ben more actual content and let go of some of the unnecessary commentary that just plays it out so much longer. If you patient this is a great book. If you can see the holes like me you’ll be annoyed. Maybe a better read the book story so you can skip the parts you don’t need to read. Love the story but maybe more what the story could be. Stupid characters annoy me and there’s at least one or two. Happy listening!

The vanishing act!

I chose this book via my monthly Amazon Music subscription. Bronwen Price’s narration is a highlight. Stone's writing is well-done, crafting a story that's more of a suspenseful drama. The story follows Leila, a young girl who's disappeared from her neighborhood. As the investigation unfolds, questions arise about what happened to her. Price's narration brilliantly brings “Taken” to life, helping to make this an intriguing listen. The plot started strong, drawing me into Leila's world and her disappearance. However, the story slows down, making it tough to stay fully engaged. Overall, “Taken” has some standout moments, particularly in the narration. Each to their own.
