Title: The Choice
A kidnap…
Matt Westbrook only turned his back for a moment. But when he looks around, his car – with his three young children inside – has vanished.
A ransom…
Panicked, Matt assumes a car thief has got more than he bargained for, but then he starts to receive text messages: This is a kidnap. If you want to see your children again, you will exchange them for your wife.
A choice…
Matt and his wife Annabelle are horrified. They can’t involve the police, or their children will be killed. Which means they have to choose: Annabelle, or their children. Either option is unthinkable. But one is inevitable. And they have only hours to make their decision…
The gripping new thriller you won’t be able to put down!
What a simply horrifying situation to find yourself in. Matt leaves his kids in his unlocked car while popping into the shop for a minute and when he turns around the car and the kids are gone.
Worse still there is a ransom and the kidnapper wants his wife Annabelle - or the kids get it.
Leaving Matt and Annabelle to have to make well the only decision that people could make and that is when it gets completely addictive...
We are given short chapters from the kidnappers point of view, giving a startling insight into their mind. But at no point until we are reaching the finale, is the identity of our villain known, much less the motives.
We see key events from Matt and Amanda past, and there are quite a few names that crossed my mind, including the correct answer but I just couldn't work out why for anyone.
From the start I was drawn into Alex Lake's warped mind, and gripping story, as I had the book on my brain even when I wasn't reading. I couldn't get enough of it, trying to see just how things may turn out for Matt and Annabelle.
I loved the various viewpoints, so we were really able to get up close and personal with the key characters, and I do wonder, if this might make parents think twice about leaving their kids unattended in public, as it only takes a second and something can change your life for ever.
Enthralling book that has cemented Alex Lake as one of my favourite psychological thriller writers, and an auto read regardless of blurb in the future.
Thank you to Harper Collins and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
