Journal Entry 1 by Plum-crazy from Brighouse, West Yorkshire United Kingdom on Friday, February 26, 2010
Andrea Devane is terrified. Her thirteen-year-old daughter, Anna, has been kidnapped from her house while she was away on business. Her husband - Anna's stepfather - has also disappeared . There is no sign of forced entry. Andrea has already received a ransom demand stating that her daughter will die if she does not pay two million pounds in cash. Somehow she manages to raise the money but when she delivers it, there is no sign of Anna. She's been betrayed. Now she's received another demand for a further two million. And when two of her husband's fingers are posted to her, she knows the kidnapper means business. Andrea has thirty-four hours left to find the money, or her daughter dies. But this time she's seeking help. She contacts Detective Mike Bolt of SOCA, who is convinced of one thing: this is personal. The kidnapper knows Andrea, and he's taking pleasure in tormenting her and those nearest to her. But is her daughter still alive? The clock is ticking...
I nearly didn't bother reading this as I wasn't overly impressed with "Relentless" but as I want to release next month as part of the AUGUST ONE WORD Challenge, I figured if I was going to read it then now was the time....and I'm glad I did!!
"Deadline" is a much, much, better read (in my humble opinion anyhow!) than "Relentless". Many of the same characters appear, Mike Bolt, Mo Khan & Tina Boyd but this is by no means a follow up book & you certainly don't need to "know" the characters to enjoy this tale. Andrea Devern has the potential to be become a very irritating character, her daughter may have been kidnapped but as you learn about her past it's very easy to lose sympathy for her!
This book has changed my mind about this author & will certainly be giving him another chance...should any of his books come my way!
Read as part of the 2010 ULTIMATE CHALLENGE &
the 2010 REDUCE MT TBR Challenge (#64) (I know the registration date says February 2010 but was in a bag of books bought in December 2009 that I forgot to register...honest!!!)
