Passably Clever.. Legit Dreadful Pacing.
Diane Saxon does an admirable job establishing the backgrounds of Ironbridge (Shropshire) PD Detective-Sargeant Jenna Morgan, her abducted sister Felicity ('Fliss'), and even the loathesome perpetrator. Additionally, Saxon's vocabulary/prose are creditable, the middle-class suburban setting is relatable, and the investigation is sinuous & plausible.
Unfortunately, the book is in desperate need of an aggressive editor. At least ⅓ of the book is extraneous (of literally Zero value for advancing plot, characterization, or even mood/tension) and there are headshaking stretches of internal dialogue sprinkled throughout the text. The author also introduces the villain very early, making most of the investigation of suspects boring (We *know* it's not him🙄). Saxon would be quite a good mystery author if she could learn to restrain herself.
Katy Sobey's fantastic performance can't save this novel.. but she does her very best. Her diction, timbre, cadence, and voice-acting acting are commendable, but her tone in particular is remarkable. Yes, she reads a little too slowly (listening at 1.10X yielded the optimum experience), but Sobey injects emotion and obvious interest in the text - rendering alternately overdramatic or pedestrian dialogue empathy-inducing. Boldwood Books provides exemplary technical support - softening sibilance, adjusting volume brilliantly, and editing corrections seamlessly.
Altogether, this Mystery-Thriller rates 6.5 stars out of 10 - mainly on the strength of outstanding production standards.
Notwithstanding, there were times in this audiobook where I would have welcomed 'Monty Python', dressed as Vikings, cutting in with a "GET ON WITH IT!!" admonition.
My relatively high rating also reflects the fact that 'Find Her Alive' was offered for free with the 'Plus' Audible initiative. If you can likewise get it as part of that offer, go for it. If they ask for a Credit, spend it on something else.
[Incidentally: Saxon's preoccupation with dogs makes Dean Koontz look like Michael Vick]

Pretty good at 1.2x speed
I look forward to l future works by this author as her skill develops. This was a bit predictable but still good in it's character development for the series. My major issue was with the narration. There are huge pauses between sentences. Putting at 1.2x speed helped immensely... Otherwise I would not have been able to finish it. And it was an enjoyable story, so I'm glad I did. I don't usually leave reviews, and only do so hoping that this tip helps another.

Good storyline
Intrigue fairly good, with some twists and turns along the way. A bit too repetitive. I could not get used to the reader's intonation.

would have returned it if it weren't free
SERIOUSLY questioning the reading/listening skills of the 4 star and 5 star reviewers. Predictable and way too long.

Painfully awful
What do you do when you start a mystery, only to find it’s the most plodding, dull, painfully slow book ever?
What I did was spend 2 hours thinking it would get better, and then skip to the end.
It didn’t get better. It continued to plod through extraneous details about characters who are unlikable, uninteresting, and tedious.
The characters themselves are the biggest issue. But I’m also giving a shout out to setting the book in Telford, arguably the least interesting city in the UK.
“Fliss” is the 1st girl to die in a slasher film, the victim you’re glad is gone because she’s so irritating. She’s the deer that freezes in the headlights. Her reactions are so ridiculous they make women everywhere look incompetent.
“Jenna” is just horrible. I was gritting my teeth, listening to her whine and complain about being called out, wishing the other shift had taken the call, fussing over her new boots in the mud… and then she realizes the victim might be her sister. Then it’s “drive faster” and “call out air support.” But when it’s someone she doesn’t know who might be in danger, she really doesn’t give a damn.
I gave it 2 hours, so that you don’t have to. I’ll never get those hours back, but at least I didn’t pay for this piece of asinine drivel.
I rarely give negative reviews. But this one is too painful not to warn other readers off of.

Narrator makes it impossible to listen
It’s probably a great story. I’m just over half way through and should be enjoying a new female led police book... but narrator’s repetitive ending tone to all sentences makes it impossible to enjoy! This is the second time I have to force myself to listen to a book because the narrator ends all sentences in an up tone as if it’s a song. It’s so annoying! The tone is usually used when something important happens but this narrator uses it on every sentence. It drives me crazy.

Nope
Spoiler:
If you dislike violence against animals (specifically dogs), then this book is not for you. I turned it off at 35 minutes in and won’t listen to one minute more.

Decent story, worth reading
While I didn't really enjoy the story from Fliss's perspective (that type of violence disturbs me) the police procedural was quite good. I know a lot of reviews criticized the narrator, but I thought she was quite good. I've heard too many who do use that "up" infliction at the end of every sentence, but didn't notice it here. I am frequently puzzled over what must be differences between US and UK laws, as I couldn't understand how the victim's acts in clear self defense could possibly result in her being imprisoned, as was clearly stated to be a danger in this novel and frequently comes up in other books by UK authors. I would recommed this book and will try another by this author. I did not find the language to be unduly vulgar, the dog survived, and there were no unnecessary sexual scenes to distract from the story.

Worth a listen/read
Narrator did an OK job. Not much for tonal inflections but still good. Some are like listening to nails on a chalkboard, but I was able to listen to her just fine.
Story was good. Even though the killer's identity is subtly revealed somewhat early, there was still enough action to keep me hooked. I'll definitely try another one by this author.
