First book I’ve read by this author and I read it in one sitting and found it hard to put down. Liked the style of the book - particularly how well the main characters expressed their thoughts, feelings, despair and emotions at different times and this really drew me into the story. Thought I knew who did it but was wrong. Really well written and enjoyable.

This is an enjoyable read with likable characters. I particularly liked the family liaison officer who showed himself to be genuinely sorry for the family at the centre of the story even hearing Elise out when no one else wanted to listen. I had worked out the ending but that is not to say that the book is predictable. I think I have just read a lot of books in this genre. I would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a slightly different police procedural.

Abduction by Gillian Jackson is a tense and suspenseful read that is told from multiple perspectives of a kidnapping that has never been resolved. I was immediately pulled into this mystery, and raced through the pages.

At her third birthday party, Grace vanishes without a trace, to the agony of her family. Fast forward fourteen years and Grace's sister, Elise, believes that she has found the younger sister she has never given up hope of finding. With the help of a dedicated detective who investigated the initial disappearance, Elise is determined to prove that Grace has been found at long last.

This is a cleverly executed construction of a missing person case, and I was virtually propelled through the pages as the investigation unfolds. I will definitely be following this exciting author, and look forward to her next offering.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Sapere Books for this ARC.

This is my first reading for Gillian Jackson and will look forward to read more from her.

This is an absorbing psychological mystery thriller about a family's worst nightmare.
The plot is emotionally engrossing with engaging relatable characters.
I thought I figured it all out, but was surprisingly wrong.
A worthwhile read!

Thanks Netgalley, the publisher, and author for an ARC in exchange for an honest opinion.

I thought Abduction was absolutely haunting., it has a great level of suspense and although I thought I’d figured it all out....I was wrong and also very surprised!
A strong well written read!
