-BLURB-

The sun beats down on the parking lot of a Texas shopping mall.

Heavily pregnant and not at all comfortable in the relentless heat, Didi Wood is leaving for home, moving slowly through her regular routine of shopping, husband, children, with the extra excitement of the imminent baby always at the back of her mind.

And then she is bundled into a car and kidnapped by a desperate young man.

What does he want? Where are they going?

Only the excruciating tension of the next eleven hours will tell.

I rather prefer her series which starts with The Bronze Horseman, but this was brilliant as a standalone. She's a terrific writer. Hope people enjoy it!

I got on the train at Clifton Hill with my daughter and her friend to go to the Melbourne Show - I'd brought a book to read anyway (Hanoi Stories) and was intrigued to see a book on the seat opposite me so picked it up and read the label which basically invited me to open it. I'd vaguely heard/read something about books being left in place for people to pick up so realised the significance, wrote down the details, and then it occurred to me I could actualy take it, read it and then leave it somewhere. Lucy and her friend had a look and since L is a fanatical reader, thought it was pretty good. Read the first page, then popped it in my bag and took it to the Show where it went on a ferris wheel, had tea and scones at the Country Womens Association Cafe, and caught a few cat/dog shows, then home, where other daughter was very excited by the find! Am speculating about what to do with it when we've read it.

Enjoyed the book, have passed it onto a friend.
