MY REVIEW
“Truth. Such a simple little word, but so destructive when we don’t have it.” Such truth in such a simple statement.
Kennedy believes she is on a normal call to the home of a woman who had her three-year-old daughter abducted from a park over 20 years ago, the case so cold it’s practically frozen. When she walks through the door her life changes more than she can ever imagine, instantly becoming the target of a madman, and she is clueless as to know why. All she’s trying to do is her job: reuniting families with their missing children and helping grieving victims cope with such an unimaginable loss.
Texas Ranger Silas Boone lives next door to the grieving mother, and was actually present with this precious little girl was abducted, and thus feels responsible, holding onto guilt that should not be on his shoulders. Protecting Kennedy and the girl’s mother from this faceless attacker becomes Silas’s top priority in hopes to atone for the past, and to get answers for Mrs. Barclay.
Out of all the books I’ve read in my lifetime, I cannot remember one being set around the Red River. Being from north Texas myself, I enjoyed the relatable scenery and though this isn’t a major plot point, as this is more of a character-driven tale, I still appreciated it nonetheless, and feel like it made this read all the sweeter.
Abduction Cold Case is the perfect balance of heartfelt moments and heart-pounding situations, the simmering chemistry between the two main characters unmistakable, and the suspense constant. This is truly the stuff of nightmares, especially when something like this could actually happen, and though that is a fearful thought, it also made for quite the entertaining read.
These are wonderful characters you can’t help but love and root for. One of the sweetest moments occurred between Kennedy and Mrs. Barclay, the mother of the abducted daughter, and there are several lines in this scene that made my heart ache, the words resonating within my own soul, hearing the hearts cry of the character in her words. It was a truly powerful moment that was quickly followed by a twist that kicks the suspense back in, taking you back on the heart-stopping rollercoaster of evil.
This was a read that went by way too fast, was full of twists and turns that were predictable, but still entertaining and I adored every moment. This novel truly has it all!
