The narrator is excellent. I had no trouble at all differentiating between characters. The sound of the narrator’s voice was pleasant on my ear and made hearing the story a very pleasant experience.
There are some great descriptions within the story. For most of my journey through the story, I was very clear about the settings. The intimate scenes are a little awkward in their beginnings, but they fall into a good rhythm after a bit.
I had some trouble with believability in several parts of the story due to some inconsistencies with the reality of the fiction; i.e. if he didn’t trust her, he never would have fallen asleep near her.
I have always been put off by the use of “I know it doesn’t make any sense” said by a character because it is an easy way out of a problem. The same goes for over explanation between two characters. Frankly, some things need to be left for the reader to conclude themselves and there was a lot of excessive explaining within the story which left me with a defensive feeling regarding my ability to understand what is going on without having it spelled out completely for me.
The tale itself was great. I found it interesting enough to keep my attention in one sitting, but the whole piece would have benefitted from a structure edit. There was a touch of confusion that I didn’t feel a sense of resolution about. There are some weak spots including a few tense issues and some plot holes, stereotypes and cliches. Solutions or explanations were conveniently invented along the way to solve problems that came up. These explanations would have been better hinted at earlier in the story.
Despite the small handful of things that needled at me I truly enjoyed the story and I look forward to more.

Alan Burch has always wanted to be a cop. He has come from a long line of officers. After graduating the academy, he starts working and believes he has the perfect life. Perfect wife, great best friend and fellow officer, and great job. Suddenly, his wife is abducted and to keep her alive he must play a game with a voice on the phone. Will he play along and save his wife?
Okay, this was the quickest mystery type book I have ever read. It almost felt like it was a TV drama series episode. I would have liked it better if there was more character depth, the story line could have delved deeper into their lives and actions. It all felt really rushed like it needed to be over in half an hour. It was an okay read, but could have been so much better.
