the only frustration was that this is the second book, the first not available on audible: whose idea was that?
I did not find the female interpretation 'girlie' in fact thought narrator managed the task very well. I guess we all hear differently

Enthralling

This is a cleverly woven novel of fact and fiction... Or is it fiction?
It's the first of his books I've bought and I will certainly buy more. The main female character was a bit extreme for my tastes and I found myself loosing patience with her at times, but that is my only reservation.

Story undermined by narration.

Interesting storyline blending recent historic intrigue with very modern issues.
The narrator's voicing of female protagonists was poor, became irritating and ultimately detracted from enjoyment.

Gripping and exciting thriller

If you could sum up The Abduction in three words, what would they be?

gripping,exciting and different

Any additional comments?

This was a fantastic book - totally different and wonderful drawn and developed characters. It also was believable and really gives one pause for thought. I was only sorry when it was over. This is a trilogy and it would be great to read the first volume as well which is not yet on audible. One of my favourite listens this year! Great!

Full of twists and turns

What about Michael Fenner’s performance did you like?

He managed the female voices pretty well

Any additional comments?

It took me a while to get into the book but it was well worth it in the end.I found the tech details difficult to follow but this did not detract from the overall enjoyment of the book.The torture details were gruesome but believable. All the odd ends came together very well to make a thought provoking climax

drop the girly voice

What did you like best about The Abduction? What did you like least?

a fine story read by a narrator who was good except when he put on a little girls voice for the female characters. sadly he made strong female police officers and U.S. intelligence officers sound like girlish giggling air-heads.

What did you like best about this story?

the plot was gripping

What didn’t you like about Michael Fenner’s performance?

the voice he used for female characters - very distracting and seemed to lessen the importance of the strong female leads

Could you see The Abduction being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?

Angelina Jolie as kat

Any additional comments?

would like the narrator to read it without doing 'voices' or maybe combine with a female narrator
