Still Missing

Chevy Stevens debut novel, Still Missing is one of the best books I have listened to.  I was so deeply invested in the storyline that I had a physical reaction at one point!  After listening to the book for several hours, my neck was tense and I was a bit on edge.  The combination of Ms. Stevens writing ability and Ms. Dawe’s narration allowed me to completely become immersed in the emotions of Annie O’Sullivan.
Now for those of you, who aren’t big fans of Angela Dawe, don’t discount this riveting novel.  A co-worker of mine is not the biggest fan of Ms. Dawe but after talking her into listening to Still Missing she changed her mind.  The low tone of Ms. Dawe’s voice and the emotion she invoked completely worked with the content of this story.
Still Missing recounts the kidnapping of Annie O’Sullivan, a young realtor in her prime.  Through her therapy sessions she recounts the events of her abduction and the aftermath left in its wake.  Knowing that she survives her captivity only increases the tension of the storyline.
I did not expect the ending of this story!  I could not believe what I was hearing!  Annie’s capture was not the only one who played mind games; a twist I definitely did not see coming!
If you are looking for a thriller that does not involve blood and gore but does provoke pure emotion, this is the book for you.  I walked away feeling better about my life.
