I've just gone on an audiobook mini binge:
Missing Child, by Patricia MacDonald
I picked this up because the premise seemed to based on the still-unsolved Kyron Horman disappearance a few years back. But the premise was pretty much the only similarity, and while the story held my attention, it veered off into an overabundance of melodrama by the end.
What I Saw and How I Lied, Judy Blundell
This was a Downpour deal of the week recently that I bought on a whim, even though it's marketed as "young adult," and I'm glad I did. It was a wonderfully evocative, intriguing story set just after WWII, with a believable 15-year-old protagonist.
Princess Elizabeth's Spy, by Susan Elia MacNeal
Second book in the Maggie Hope series. I preferred the narrator for the first book (Donada Peters) to this one (Susan Duerden)--the youthful voices were especially distracting. Maggie seemed less than brilliant and missed too much that was obvious. There was a lot of set-up for the next book in the series.
Caught, by Harlan Coben
This was a roller coaster ride filled with surprises, big and little. I couldn't stop listening. It was only my second Coben title (I previously read Six Years), but now I'm looking forward to more.
