Snatched

Written by Gillian Jackson

Narrated by Annie Aldington

When nightmares become reality, how do you find the strength to keep hope alive?

When eleven-year-old Danny Stone is kidnapped on his way home from school, panic grips his parents, Martha and Richard.

As authorities scramble to find answers, their home in Bristol becomes a battleground of suspicion - until a ransom demand arrives, leaving Martha ready to pay any price.

But as Richard hesitates, secrets begin to unravel and Martha fights to untangle her husband's web of deception while the fate of their son hangs by a thread.

Will Danny make it out alive? Or will one horrific moment cause irreparable damage to all three of their lives?

Perfect for fans of Cara Hunter, Liane Moriarty, and Lisa Jewell.

After a career in childcare, Gillian transitioned to therapeutic counselling. Following this, five years working in the voluntary sector for Victim Support brought a whole new range of experiences as she supported victims of crimes. The characters Gillian creates are inspired from the diversity of people she has met throughout her working life.

Thank you for sharing this story

[Karol Klakken May · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

The plot was mediocre; the ending was a drawn-out load of syrupy mush.

[Jo Sutcliffe · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I enjoyed some aspects of this (mostly the police stuff and the relationship between the boys… but it was far too long and repetitive in places.
also the end moralising about a woman working was tedious to say the least!
