About this listen

What’s the life of your child worth?

It’s every mother’s nightmare - the abduction of her baby.

That’s how it starts for Erin Vogel when she is attacked and left unconscious in her apartment. When she awakes it is to find that Georgia, her six-month-old daughter, has been taken.

But Erin is given a chance to get Georgia back. At an unthinkable price. Like most mothers she has always said she would do anything for her child. Now the strength of that bond is about to be put to the ultimate test.

And when her actions arouse the interest of a certain Detective Callum Doyle, one thing is inevitable: a confrontation that will be as explosive as it is unforgettable.

From the highly acclaimed author of Pariah, The Helper, and Marked comes a nerve-shredding novel that questions the line we draw between good and evil.

Riveting Physiological Thriller

I am not a fan of gruesome serial-killer cop-dramas, but this book is a exception.

It’s not a whodunit mystery, we know who does what all the way along, but rather it’s a riveting physiological thriller.

I did find that there were a few holes in the plot, and some of the twists were a little too convenient, but none of that mattered. Just wondering what would happen next and how it would all end kept the pages turning fast!

This is my ultime favorite of 2015

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I have and I will. You never catch on to what's really going on.

What other book might you compare Cry Baby to and why?

I can't ruin it by giving it away. I just simply love it!

Have you listened to any of Nick Landrum and Jennifer Woodward ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No. I just happen to come across these 2 reviews for this book, I took a chance. Boy, did I ever come up winning. This book is awesome!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The first negotiation.

Any additional comments?

We always think: what's enough for our babies.

Worst narration and not David Jackson's best work

This is by far the worst audiobook I have listened to. I love David Jackson's most recent work, but this was garbage that would have received an "F" in a ninth grade creative writing course in a last chance high school.

The narration was split between two actors with the male being okay and the female sounding like she was reading it for the first time. It was so monotone with no creativity used...

So disappointing...

Just couldn't get through this

Any additional comments?

I may attempt to finish this at another time, but the narration was exhausting. the woman's voice was just all wrong for this story line. I don't like babies being hurt, not my style. The story line of having someone else kill random people to save your baby just did not interest me. I love a thriller but this one I just couldn't get into. If I come back to it and am able to finish it in the future I'll update my review.

David Jackson Acually Wrote this Garbage?

The most idiotic dialog i've listened to in a long time. I can't believe one of my favorite autors wrote this. Who picks the narrators??? Horrible! Can't finish the book.

So long winded, made worse by female narrator

After reading a Nathan Cody novel, I was really looking forward to this. I shouldn’t have been. It just dragged on and on, and then on some more. The female narrator made me want to fling my iPad across the room, although that may be because the dialogue was so awful to begin with. Very disappointing.
