About this listen

Lieutenant Jonathan Stride is quietly recovering from injuries sustained on his latest case when a rich doctor's baby is kidnapped and his peace is shattered. As suspicion builds that the doctor may have staged the baby’s disappearance, the relationship between the doctor and his wife and neighbors begins to disintegrate. Stride and his lover, Serena, a former Las Vegas detective, find themselves on opposite sides of the case, with Stride pursuing evidence that incriminates the doctor and Serena trying to prove that the baby really was abducted.

Meanwhile, Stride’s partner, Maggie, and a headstrong young cop are tracking a man responsible for a violent crime wave in the rural areas of Duluth. There seems to be no connection between the cases—until a victim with ties to the doctor’s case turns up murdered in the signature style of the Duluth killer.

Brian Freeman is an international best-selling author of psychological suspense novels, including Immoral and Stripped.

Overall, I found this latest novel by Brian Freeman to be a good whodunit! Well-rounded characters kept me guessing until the end. Unfortunately, the audiobooks of Books # 3 (Stalked) and # 4 (The Watcher), in the Jonathan Stride series, cannot be sold within Canada due to the Publisher's copyright restrictions, so I missed what happened in Maggie Bei's life, and the traumatic life-threatening event that happened to our protagonist. :( However, aside from having missed some good stories, it did not detract from this one. Onward to the next book in the series, 'Spitting Devil'!

A good whodunit!
