Summary

A missing son. A kidnapper who's dead. Nobody believes her. Nothing will stop her.

When Doctor Jemma Sands' five-year-old son goes missing, only she believes that a vengeful patient has stolen her child. How do you convince police to search for a dead woman? As her world falls apart, Jemma realises she is the only one who can save her son. If somebody took your only child, how far would you go to get him back?

If only the main character wasn’t….

…. An idiot. This would of been a treasure. Still an enjoyable listen, the stupidity of Jemma just got a little overbearing at times.

not a believable heroine.

struggled to finish the book. The supposed heroine
was not only not credible as a doctor but naive in all the supposed reactions.

An amazing read

Slow Bleed is such an amazing read, with so many twists, turns & surprises that kept me wanting to know what happened next. I simply could not stop until I came to the end. A most exciting read.

took a weird turn

This book was easy to listen to and the story ticked along nicely to start. Then, in the last few hours the story took an insane turn. only a super human could survive what she went through without hypothermia or serious injury. There's poetic license and then there's this. I still enjoyed it though haha

Good story

But narrator was strange due to a baby like voice at times. Still an enjoyable book

sadly doesn't come up to scratch,

too many contradictions, no consistency, or continuity, and the author really doesn't grasp how women think feel or talk. could have been good but far too many mistakes , like how does a foil tablet strip become a bottle?

Starts well but ……

About two thirds in the whole story became so far fetched and unbelievable that it was a chore to finish it to be honest

Would not recommend

Terrible narrator, boring tried to make different accents but couldn't quite keep it going, so characters bled into each other, story jumped and the main character was a total idiot. One to go to sleep too. Shan't listen to this author or narrator again.
