About this listen

 Detective Inspector Vincent Ruiz is lucky to be alive. A bullet in the leg, another through the hand, he is discovered clinging to a buoy in the River Thames, losing blood and consciousness fast. It takes six days for him to come out of his coma, and when he does, his nightmare is only just beginning. Because Vincent has no recollection of what happened, and nobody believes him.© Michael Robotham; (P) W F Howes Ltd Architecture Mystery Police Procedurals Suspense Thriller & Suspense Exciting

Critic reviews

"A thoughtful and subtle thriller, with convincing, three-dimensional characters." (Publishers Weekly)
All stars
Most relevant
Until now I have enjoyed Michel Robotham’s books. This one could have been condensed by two thirds. The plot was convoluted and in places ludicrous. There were far too many characters whose existence was tangential and mostly unnecessary.
Why would the police not think first that a child of divorced parents would most likely have been taken by the aggrieved partner?
On the plus side Inspector Ruiz’s backstory was interesting and the narrator was excellent.

Overlong

Much as I love a story with twists this had a few too many for me and then a very abrupt ending. On the whole a nice listen enhanced by excellent narration.

Good not great

Gripping. Well written as always. The narration was very good. (Spoiler alert) Underground London was fascinating (scary) and well described

Brilliant

What made the experience of listening to Lost the most enjoyable?

I am a big fan of Michael Robotham's books and have listened to a number of the Joseph O'Loughlin series. I didn't read them in order, so for me, this was really useful background story about Detective Inspector Vincent Ruiz.

What did you like best about this story?

It takes you all over the place. You can't tell what's going to happen next. It keeps you guessing.

Any additional comments?

Detective Inspector Vincent Ruiz is not a warm fluffy character, he is rough and hard, but he is also determined and you would want him on your side. An excellent book.

Superb story

Having listened to all the other Joe OLoughlin books before listening to Lost, this book let me down. And not least because the voice of the narrator just didn’t suit the character that has been portrayed by Sean Barrett in the other books. But I found the story meandered at times, it didn’t have the pace of the other books in the series

Not as good as the Joe O Loughlin books
