Description Concering Books Sleep Tight (DCI Tom Douglas #3)
How far would you go to hold on to the people you love? When Olivia Brookes calls the police to report that her husband and children are missing, she believes she will never see them again. She has reason to fear the worst; this isn’t the first tragedy that Olivia has experienced. Now, two years later, Detective Chief Inspector Tom Douglas is called in to investigate this family again, but this time it’s Olivia who has disappeared. All the evidence suggests that she was here, in the family home, that morning. But her car is in the garage, and her purse is in her handbag – on the kitchen table. The police want to issue a national appeal, but for some reason every single picture of this family has been removed from albums, from phones, from computers. And then they find the blood… Has the past caught up with Olivia? Sleep Tight – if you can. You never know who’s watching.Describe Books Conducive To Sleep Tight (DCI Tom Douglas #3)

I could easily give this five stars but have to refrain from over-five-starring books lately. So 4.5 stars it is - this was a bit confusing sometimes, especially the end. Good, quick but exciting read. Though short, the drama and mystery are well described and thought out. For the most part, I think this story could be true! That in itself is a sign of a good book, in my opinion. From the authors website, it sounds as if this will be made into a series. I love police procedural series so greatOlivia has had a tragic young life. Her boyfriend disappeared when their daughter was born. Shortly after her parents are both dead. Eventually, she's remarried and has two more children with her new husband Robert. Life should be better, right? She should be happy now, yes? not quite. The dark clouds keep forming...and people continually turn up missing. First its Robert with the children. A Few years later and the police are called again...now Olivia is missing. I found myself going back
Abbott's writing is maturing like a fine wine. The plotting is very meticulous and well thought out. The story takes the reader along the entire perimeter with a twist in the path there and a barrier in the plot there. In the end all the threads link together to create the entire jigsaw puzzle.The author has a keen understanding of the mind, behaviour patterns, thought processes and personality of a stalker, who evolves into a controlling abusive partner. He seems like the perfect husband and
Say whaaaaat? I am utterly flabbergasted at the 5-star reviews that this trite offering has received.This paperback winked at me from a books-left-by-guests shelf at my resort hotel, and (as I had just finished the sumptuously-written Anna Karenina) I felt that a generic page turner might be just the warm-down I needed!Ugh! I should have ignored its come-hither allure and left it on the shelf. It was only through a perplexed curiosity that I managed to stick with it.But allow me for one moment
I believe this is the first time I have read anything by this author and I am not sure if I will purchase another. I have mixed thoughts about this book which is why I rated it three stars, but it could very well be four stars. There were some predictable parts as well as some that were not predictable. I thought there could have been a better job on the editing even though I didn't see an alarming amount of errors. I'm not sure why the detective's personal life was included, except for maybe a
I read a lot of this type of book so perhaps I spent too much time comparing it to other books of it's nature, but this one honestly just didn't grab me and here are the reasons why: 1) The editing was terrible. When there are blatant mistakes that pull a reader out of the plot line you are bound to get a lower star rating from me. 2) I never once actually felt anything for any of the characters. I wasn't even scared for Olivia when Robert showed up, I just wanted to figure out what the heck was
