Summary
Scott Miller has everything he's ever hoped for. He has a successful marriage to Jessie, a stunningly beautiful, creative woman. His 17-year-old daughter, Ashley, is both gorgeous and intelligent, and has just been accepted to the University of Notre Dame, where Scott received his PhD. He has a comforting home in the woods, and a fulfilling career as a college professor at Oregon State University in Corvallis. He's blissful, and at peace, until it all comes shattering down.
Ashley is kidnapped. The scene of the abduction is horrific and bloody, and the police are convinced she couldn't have survived. They accuse her boyfriend, Brandon, of Ashley's murder. He declares his innocence, and claims that a masked man who entered his house and overwhelmed them both took Ashley. No one believes Brandon.
Then the bodies of three other missing girls are discovered, all bearing the mark of a known serial killer the FBI has been hunting for years. Evidence mounts. As Special Agent James Duncan tracks the Hail Mary Killer, Scott and Jessie try to move on with their lives. But they can't shake the feeling that Ashley may still be alive, and that the time for saving their only daughter is quickly running out.
In the best tradition of literature and suspense, Jackson Baer has weaved a heartfelt tale of one family's struggle to survive after a despicable evil wrenches them apart.

Not Keen On the Narrator but an enjoyableThriller
An exciting little crime thriller with lots of twists, red herrings and a shocking conclusion.
I started listening to the audiobook but didnt continue as I didnt feel "compatible" with the narrator so I finished this on my e-reader as I was interested in the story.
I enjoyed the story, it started of quite slow but once the plot got going I was gripped. There is a alot of emotion in this book, fear, loss, anger, grief, forgiveness and acceptance, which I thought this was portrayed very well.
It reads almost completely from Scott's POV but ocxadionally switches to other characters which I found a little confusing as it wasnt immediately obvious that it was a different POV.
Not my usual genre to read but I enjoyed stepping out of my reading comfort zone into something new for a change.

Well worth sticking with
When I first started listening to this audio book I was tempted to stop as I found the narrator a bit monotonous but I am glad I stuck with it as I soon got used to the way he was. The first part of the story is told from one person's POV but once it changed and other people got involved in the story and the action built up I really got into it. The story follows Scott Miller and his wife before and after his daughter gets kidnapped.and they try to find out who by and why.
The first part of the story is very slow going as we are introduced to the family and their everyday life, but once Ashley is kidnapped the action kicks up a notch and things start to happen quite quickly.
As I was listening to the first part of the story I was worried as to how the investigation would work, but I needn't have as the story switches from Scott to the policeman and FBI agent so makes the story that much more enjoyable.
