This was a very fast paced thriller that I listened to in less than a day. It was fine! I feel like the entire time i was reading I just kept telling myself “this whole thing could’ve been avoided if you just called the police from the start” that being said…I don’t want to say that it was far fetched because I understand why the characters did what they did but it just seemed kind of meh to me with how believable the plot was and how the case was solved in the book. 

Thirteen years ago a couple was in the middle of adopting a daughter. They had had the daughter with them as a foster child and felt as if she was already theirs. The daughter’s birth mother decides she wants to keep the baby. Being obviously devastated the couple is tries to deal with the loss of what they thought was to be the beginning of parenthood. A sudden knock on the door one evening starts a domino effect of diabolical chaos. The birth mother appears on the couple’s doorstep recently attacked and dying. She tells the couple that they need to protect her daughter at all costs and that she’s in danger. They tried to save the mother but her attack was too far gone. Fleeing from their home the couple takes their daughter on the run and quickly puts themselves in a new life. Because of the devastation of the adoption falling through the FBI and all others believe this couple is responsible for the birth mother’s murder and for the fact that she is now dead on their property.

You can only run so far before you get caught up to. Now present day the past is quickly sneaking up on them and the law will stop at nothing to bring justice to the mother who was killed and her daughter who was taken all those years ago.
