Pub Day REVIEW: The Prisoner

Amelie has been kidnapped. She wakes up in a pitch black room with nothing more than a mattress and a tray of porridge provided to her each day. She knows her rich new husband has been kidnapped as well. She must work out who is after them and how to get away.

I liked the pacing of this thriller. Amelie’s panic turned to survival mode made for an entertaining read. As we get more chapters of backstory we realize not all is what it seems. I’m not sure this one had the traditional jaw dropper twists so much as some unusual characters in really unlikely circumstances.

I did this one on audiobook and the narrator was fabulous at building the tension.

Thanks to St Martin’s Press for access to this audiobook via Netgalley. All opinions above are my own.

What would be your last meal if you were a prisoner?
