About this listen
They're trying to take me. Help! Help me, please.
Daphne Mayfield sought a moment of quiet in a park - a break from city life, a tense relationship, and chronic overwork - but then an elderly woman makes a desperate plea. Daphne is reluctant to get involved when she's not sure what's happening, but she wants to help the stranger. Is the rambling old lady the victim of a crime or a victim of dementia?
As her unease grows, Daphne can't let go of the encounter. No matter what her boyfriend or her friends say. No matter what the retired homicide detective warns. Though she knows she's meddling in other people's lives, her instincts scream that the danger is real.
With each increasingly bold intervention, Daphne involves herself in someone else's crisis until she's in too deep to turn back. She's not just fighting for a stranger's life...she's fighting for her own.

*A Very Slow Start* - 3.5 Stars
This was one of the earlier books I picked a few years ago and I am now seeing why it has taken me a while to read it. Very slow start the lead character Daphne has a family celebration coming up that she dreads. It’s the anniversary that took two members of her family. She tries to avoid it and lives with her boyfriend who shares kids with his ex wife. On an ordinary day she is having some quiet time in a park when an old lady claims the people she is with are trying to rob her. Daphne is reluctant to get involved.
On discussing this with her boyfriend to settle her fears he rings the police. She feels she is not being taken seriously, so she decides to get involved. Then a whole catalogue of drama ensues with Daphne pursuing things and taking matters into her own hands.
A very frustrating book the best part for me happened at the end of the book. It just seemed to take a long time to get there.

Great story, but just a bit too long
I really enjoyed about 80% of this book, but I think it was too stretched out in places. It is well written and definitely a nice break from the normal police mystery books, but a lot of the main characters inner monologues were so over the top they began to stress me out! Worth a listen though.
