24 Hours begins with the perfect family...on the perfect day...about to become trapped in the perfect crime.

But Will and his family are being watched by a con man and psychopath. A man who has crafted the unbeatable crime. A man who has never been caught, and whose victims have never talked to the police. A man whose life's work strikes at the heart of every family's nightmare: the unstoppable kidnapping.

great story..

Absolutely thrilling

I've listened to several books by Greg Iles. They were all good, exciting, and action-packed. But this one outshines them all. I'll call China my breath and come back of r more

Great Listen.. Many turns and twists.

Nice change of pace... many turns with a good ending. I would recommend a listen.

Not for me!

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Would not recommend this book. It's an only moderately interesting story horribly marred by voice- and accent over-acting by narrator. The book ended up with me more annoyed than interested and hoping for it to end soon.

Would make a good movie

The book was very good. Kept my interest from the beginning. Narration was good but wish he’d paused between chapters a little longer. I’m not sure I liked the ending but not sure how else I see it. Overall, a good read. Or listen.

The Best Greg Isles I’ve Read

I don’t know what it is about this book… Perhaps it’s the narrators performance, which is exceptional. I found this book to be incredibly engaging compared to some other Greg Iles books that tend to lag or maybe distracting because the narrator doesn’t do as good of a job. But the differences in the voices and capturing the characters that the narrator does in this audible, is exceptional. Highly recommend. Plus the storyline is interesting and unexpected.

A great read... A thriller that kept me turning pages. Great narration! highly recommended!

Thriller! But needs better medical pronunciations

This was an excellent thriller from start to finish. The most distracting part, was, oddly, the seasoned narrator Dick Hill. Because medications, conditions and treatments were crucially important to the plot, Mr. Hill should have been given a primer in their correct pronunciations--very distracting having to figure out what he was trying to pronounce, then missing the ensuing dialogue. His southern accents seemed harsh and difficult to distinguish between better educated and lower-life accents--and none seemed anything but contrived. He does better with Reacher. However, the book was truly an edge-of-the-seat thriller about the abduction of a diabetic child without sinking into graphic cruelty. Other issues brought forward were wives sacrificing their careers to raise children and men, particularly doctors, putting their conventions and meetings above family. It also highlights the harsh reality that no one is really safe.

not enough stars!!

I listened in one sitting. Dick Hill is one of the best narrators! I would have checked more stars if I could.
