Wow what a story! Ex-FBI profiler Pierce Quincy's wife, Rainie, is kidnapped without a trace...until the ransom note arrives. This is one convoluted tale with numerous investigators and multiple suspects. The entire book (all 448 pages) take place over the course of two days. The kidnapper is a mystery all the way til the last chapter. His motives are obscure and clearly he is a nutcase.

All the mysteries were cleared up except one which bothers me a little. The body of one of the investigating officers is found buried on the property of one of the suspects and nothing ever comes of it. No investigation at all and the boy (Dougie) goes back into his custody with no questions asked. Just seemed weird to me as if the author forgot this part of the story and just left it hanging.

Other than that, I really enjoyed this book. I've read one other book ([book:The Perfect Husband|65910]) by this author which I also enjoyed. I do have one or two more on my shelves so I will definitely read more by Lisa Gardner.
