About this listen

Named a Best Book of 2017 by Library Journal and Kirkus Reviews Winner of the 2018 Library of Virginia People’s Choice Award

Judge Scott Sampson doesn’t brag about having a perfect life, but the evidence is clear: A prestigious job. A loving marriage. A pair of healthy children. Then a phone call begins every parent’s most chilling nightmare. Scott’s six-year-old twins, Sam and Emma, have been taken. The judge must rule exactly as instructed in a drug case he is about to hear. If he refuses, the consequences for the children will be dire.

For Scott and his wife, Alison, the kidnapper’s call is only the beginning of a twisting, gut-churning ordeal of blackmail, deceit, and terror. Through it all, they will stop at nothing to get their children back, no matter the cost to themselves...or to each other.

“Outstanding - starts with a bang and gets tenser and tenser. Say Nothing shows Parks is a quality writer at the top of his form.” (Lee Child)

“Terrific book. Truly terrific. Tension throughout and tears at the end.” (Sue Grafton)

“The work of an author who continues to raise his sights and refine his immense talent.” (Richmond Times-Dispatch)

Critic reviews

"Narrator George Newbern gives Sampson a conversational yet compelling voice - at times vulnerable, at times furious but consistently determined. The story is fast paced, engaging, and heartbreaking." ( AudioFile)

Overall - I enjoyed this book. The end was?

The end was a little hinky. It almost felt rushed. I don’t think it came together as well as I expected - But 90% of this book was pretty well done.

Starts out with a bang, but...

The story line started out well but strained credibility as it progressed. The main character, a Federal judge whose children were kidnapped, was not very likeable and seemed to have some psychopathic traits himself. For example, he had no qualms about burying a murder victim himself when it suited his agenda, with no concern for the victim's next-of-kin. Overall rating: 3.5*

Mixed Feelings

The story was a bit annoying to me and I didn't really like it, but the ending was well done.

Gripping till the end

This story is one I found myself listening to at every opportunity- pacing is good, characters are excellent. Twists and turns throughout!

Almost Didn't Finish

While in all my years of reading & listening to books I only once stopped middle ofbook I just couldn't take it anymore. This story almost became the second. It was read so monotone and without expression and taking well over half of the story to set the hook. in the end it had a exciting ending.

Riveting thriller

Well-written thriller. Characters work in the legal system. I like when I don’t know how it’s going to end— it could go either way. Happy with the resolution. Recommend.
