Such a dark unpleasant read.
I try to avoid novels like this one, it’s a dark and ugly read. The detailed violence and threats of violence, especially directed at children, is not my idea of an entertaining read.
I did not enjoy any part of this novel.

Not As Good As The Other Books
I love Michael Rowbotham's books but for me this was not his best. I kept wondering why Joe was being so dense and not considering he would have been a target of the killer, not taking any precautions with his wife or children - it was quite frustrating. There also too much pycho babble and too much unnecessary detail making the listen a bit tedious. I think I prefer the books where Ruiz has a bigger presence.
Sean Barrett was outstanding with the delivery of the story

Same same but different
I was looking forward to this. I enjoyed his previous books but unfortunately this one, although often enjoyable was frustrating. The main character often does things that are slightly incredulous and it is a little frustratingly predictable. I would write more but don't want to ruin the story for others.

Extreme reactions
This story seems weird at times, with the reaction of the victims not quite believable, but then I know nothing about interrogation techniques and torture. If this is how one can manipulate people, then it's certainly frightening, taking people to extremes they would not have imagined possible. To me it still sounds a little over the top, but it's a good thriller.
I would have preferred the two characters to be read by two different voices. Sean Barrett reads the story very well, but to distinguish between the two, another voice would have been a good idea.
