Abducted was an easy read. I bought it direct from the author at a vendor event. I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed the book. Great local details and the story kept you thinking what next. I’ll add him to my list of camping reads. You know, don’t really need to read and reread to keep up on the story type books 🙂
