Thriller

Loved the narration of Duncan Galloway , he brings out the mystery and action to your ears.

Jon and Kate are trying to find a missing boy. There are some great characters, good and bad. The boy's mother was a victim of abduction in her childhood and that case was never solved.

Great thriller

Interesting listen great addition great narration

I am just loving the DCI Pilgrim series, the author brings a different perspective to the police procedural format and the narration is just brilliant - loved the little boys. Loved the ending. I just cant say anything more as will spoil it for you - just listen it is a great way to spend a few hours.

I also loved it as nice and short so it was really doable in a short period of time.

I was given a free copy by the narrator but this in no way impacted my review.

Cool thriller

Another excellent novel in the DCI Pilgrim series. I love the interaction between the main police characters, Jon & Kate especially. All are believable and capable. The story kept me guessing until the end. I'm kind of hoping Sydney/Ariadne gets what's coming to her sooner rather than later as she's my least favourite character.

The narrator, Duncan Galloway, gives a top notch performance once again with great accents and presentation. I can't wait for the next book.

I was given a free copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.

An absolutely gripping police mystery

An absolutely gripping police mystery. The best book I've listened to this year. Kept me engaged from page 1 till the final paragraph.
So good it's going onto my reread pile.

Dang, this was good!

I love the DCI Pilgrim books! From the start to the finish I am enjoying every word. I downloaded this yesterday and finished today. I literally could not stop listening! And, seriously, A.L. Fraine...did you have to break my heart within the book? I love the relationship of the team and cannot wait to listen to the next book!
Since I did listen to the audiobook version of this book, I have to mention Duncan Galloway. He is amazing! No matter the character he portrays, I believe him! Great story teller!

Mindboggling tale of Murder, Survival and Suspense

A Second Chance is a very well written book that has suspense, survival, and murder that will weave an intricate tale of madness. The story starts out when Milo the son of former kidnapped victim Emily is kidnapped while riding his bike. The twist and turns will take you on a wild ride from suspect to suspect but the ending will leave you with your mouth open and your jaw on the floor. The story and characters are well developed and believable. Duncan Galloway is a phenomenal narrator he gave the story a breath of life while keeping you listening and hooked. I highly recommend this book.
