I didn't want to put it down. I started with the first one and didn't stop until I finished the last one. Having them on my Kindle allowed me to take them everywhere I went. I was a little sad when I finished the last book, although I knew who it was before I started the last one.
One problem I have always had when reading is that I have a habit of noticing errors in writing. (Perhaps I should get a job as an editor.) But, most of the highlights and notes I made when reading were to note errors in the writing.

Too similar
This is a decent authorwith a good command of language. If I had stopped after first book , I would have given him a 4-star rating. After reading all the books in the set, I felt as if I were reading the same story over and over. They were all about kidnapped children and were all filled with violence with some fantastical elements in terms of how events happened. As a psychiatrist, I started wondering if the author had some psychological trauma of his own that he was trying to work through by repeating the same storyline, or if he can't come up with new ones.

Wow. Couldn't stop Reading
Lots if action from start to finish. Love the women of law enforcement. Nothing like a bad villain with a sad back story, a rescue mission and a great plot line. Loved every minute of the books.

No Thanks.
I couldn't even get through The Abducted books. The characters were thoroughly unlikable and annoying. The stories did not flow well and i couldn't get into it. The Web books are the only reason this box set got2 stars instead of 1.

Riveting!!!
Could not put this book down.
I usually read only cozy mysteries, but this one got me hooked!!
Wasn't sure I'd care for kidnap/murder stories.
Loved all of it.
Great idea using different authors.
Hope there's more coming!
Thanx so much!!

Page turner
This series kept me up way to late to keep reading to get to the end. Excellent read and ended too soon.

I enjoyed all of these stories, although I took a break between them as they all deal with child abductions. Some have the same detectives in each story. Well written with interesting characters.

Story good, really good but
Please find a good editor. It is so hard to read stories that are poorly edited. The story & characters are good.
