Snatched

Snatched is a short story, but action packed from beginning to end, by Karin Slaughter.  A gripping story about a cop with an instinct and a little girl who looked forlorn, Snatched gives the reader a thrill ride through the Atlanta airport in a very short period of time.

Will Trent is an agent of the Georgia Bureau of Investigations.  He has been put on bathroom duty at the Atlanta airport, one of the busiest in the country.  He spends his time sitting in a stall listening to other men come and go, hoping to catch someone in an illicit act.  Instead, he hears a little girl in the stall next to him say "Please, I want to go home."  His gut tells him this isn't right, and that the man she is with is not her father or any other relative or friend.  But he isn't sure if he should follow that instinct or not.  What follows is a thrill ride through the airport as he tries to figure out what is going on.  When he does, will he be in time to fix it?

I recommend this one.  I listened to it as an audiobook in just two sittings.  Excellently written to grip the reader from the first page, this was a great story.  I was unfamiliar with Karin Slaughter.  I will absolutely add her as one of my authors to get to know.  This particular set of characters may be from a series.  I will be looking into that as well, since they were so interesting.

Happy Reading!
