Customer Reviews

Excellent and very thrilling and rewarding book

Well written and easy to read. Once it started it’s hard to put down

Not to Miss

This was my first Gimenez book. It won't be my last. Very clever plot manipulation. Loved the coincidences that worked out the "plan." I didn't want to put the book down once I had begun. You don't want to miss this one.

Riveting and Impressive!!!!!

I have been waiting for Mr. Giminez's second novel with anticipation. I was blown away by his first effort, "The Color of Law" and hoped very much that his next effort would not show him to be a one trick pony. I should not have worried. This novel has more depth, more plot twists and more surprises than one one should reaonably expect and in the process, it delivers a first rate, highly entertaining novel. To outline the story other than to say it is about the abduction of the daughter of a Bill Gates type Dad who is married to a powerful criminal defense lawyer would be to tell you too much. Trust me, this is a book you will hate to put down and you will become so wrapped up in the search for Grace and the story that unfolds around it, that time will fly as you follow the plot that Giminez has laid out for you. A writer to be saluted and I await again, his next effort.

Great read!

I too have waited impatiently for Mr. Gimenez to publish his second novel. The Abduction was worth the wait. I couldn't put it down and really appreciated his character development. His first novel, Color of Law, was also excellent but he has taken his writing to a new level in The Abduction. Great read!

Could not put it down!

I just finished reading this book, and Mr. Gimenez has written another great book. I have to admit, I do feel like the story takes the reader suspending belief somewhat, but it didn't matter. The story grabbed me from the beginning, and I thought it was a good book. And then something happens, to change the tone of the book a little, and it took off. I could not put it down. I had about 5 pages left, and a neighbor knocked on my door, it took all I had not to be rude to her, I HAD TO FINISH THIS BOOK!! I look forward to Mr. Gimenez's next one, and if you missed his first, The Color of Law, I suggest you read that one as well.

Thrilling page turner!

You won't be able to put this book down. And as a woman, I especially appreciated the fully and compellingly drawn characters of the formidable mother and the remarkable and resourceful kidnapped girl. Mark Gimenez does it again!
