Another homicide has rocked the small town of Fallsburg, New York. In a cabin nestled deep in the woods, two male victims are discovered, both gunshot victims. One is deceased the other one is barely alive.

But it is not the murder itself that has detectives Jean Whitley and her new partner Marty Keal frantic to find out the answers of what occurred in that cabin, it is the identities of the two small children also found at the scene. One child is quickly identified, but the other, a young boy, remains a mystery. The only one with possible answers is the man who lays critically wounded and unconscious in the hospital, because the unidentified boy either cannot or will not speak.

What happened in that cabin that left one man dead and another barely hanging on?

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Stolen is the third book in the Whitley & Keal series and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Whereas Faceless (book #2) was more focused on Jean Whitley and her family, Stolen was more focused on Marty Keal and his family. I really liked the interaction between Marty and Hope, and even with the Captain and the lost child. Whidden has a real ability to create authentic characters that draw you into the plot and make you care.

The narrator, Amy Deuchler, is also an incredible fit for this series. While I prefer her narrating as Jean, I did like her narrating as Marty as well, and for the most part I did find it easy to differentiate the characters by the narrative.

Incredible

Having read all three of the books in this series, I feel like I have really got to know the characters and they have all been written so well, with great character development. There was not a moment of this book where I wanted to put it down, I was so eager to find out what was going to happen next.
This is a beautifully written story about stolen children and their lives afterwards. There is mention of child abuse throughout, but for me, there was enough emphasis to explain without too many details.
I can’t wait to read the next one and see what happens next for Jean and Marty in their respective lives.

Another fantastic story in this series

Another thoroughly gripping Whitley and Keal story. The subject matter is a bit gruelling but the outcome is pleasing. There are very welcome appearances from Hope, Marty’s fiancé and his father the Captain both of whom are engaging characters. I am very much looking forward to the next instalment.

Gripping

Such a gripping mystery from start to finish and the “switch” of the main character was refreshing and a good slant. Well written so that you just cannot put it down. Such a scary and very real topic. Great ending!

Wow. Left me crying.

The third in the Whitley and Keal series, which keeps getting better and better. The story centres around what happened in a cabin in the woods and the identities of the two children found in the aftermath of a shooting. The mystery of these children and those involved in the events gives an absorbing thriller. As well as the mystery you also get to know the cops and their families. An interesting listen, with good narration, if only I could give it 4.5 stars!

Thrilling read
