The Missing Ones
Mystery masterminds J.S. Donovan, author of "Kidnapped: A Small Town Mystery,” Roger Hayden, author of “The Abducted,” and James Hunt, author of “Deadly Webs and Stolen,” whose stories have collectively accumulated 400+ five-star reviews, come together in this SUPER BOX SET for the first time! That's FOUR BOOK SERIES totaling TWELVE NOVELS!
Kidnapped – A Small Town Mystery
Renowned Miami detective Anna Dedrick returns to her rural birthplace with hopes of leaving behind the vices of the big city. That dream shatters when the town’s pride--an African-American child prodigy--goes missing. As the only woman equipped for the job, Anna takes the case but soon discovers the town suspecting her estranged brother… and herself.
Deadly Webs
When a child goes missing the amount of resources that authorities use is substantial. Abduction cases are taken very seriously by all of the parties involved. None more so than by Chase Grant, a detective in Seattle’s eighteenth precinct. The clock starts the moment he gets the call from a parent, and the first twelve hours are crucial. Every move counts, and every choice matters. If he missteps, then a child might not come home. But today was different. He got a call about a missing child. And then another, and another, and another…
Stolen- A Small Town Abduction
Trust holds a small town together. When times are tough you know you can lean on your neighbor for help. But when a political movement splits the town of Barta, North Dakota in half, and a young girl goes missing, the trust is broken. Who took Kaley Hayes?
The Abducted
To solve a high-profile abduction, one former-police officer must confront a dark past.
A child’s abduction leads to a frightening pattern within a South Florida town where nothing is as it seems. Amidst the vast wetlands, suburban sprawl, and tropical heat, the Lee County police department knows what to expect on any given day. But when a serial child predator stakes his claim in the area, there is no knowing when and where he will strike. The parents of the latest victim are baffled to receive no ransom demands, given their wealth and influence. And the town is in an uproar as the girl marks the fifth child to vanish.

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!!

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.
