Karen Rose’s thriller Nothing to Fear [ISBN 978 0 7553 3703 3 ] an edge of the seat read. Not only does it have an excellent plot that’s a bit different from the run-of-the-mill abduction, but its split narrative is really well planned so it doesn’t stop moving the action forward whilst adding enough suspense. As well as this there is a pretty corny Mills and Boonish love interest (all flashing eyes and pounding hearts) threaded through the narrative that gets more and more steamy. This adds its own suspense.

Ethan Buchanan is called in to help after the abduction of his profoundly deaf godchild – and manages to track the abductor and child to a Chicago bus station – and meets Dana Dupinksky who is meeting the bus for a battered women and her child (she runs a shelter). Unbeknown to either, the abductor, scary Sue,poses as a battered wife and hides in the shelter with the drugged boy. It takes a lot of searching by Ethan and his partner Cliff and the police and several revenge murders later by the scary Sue before they begin to realise what is happening. (To say nothing of the clinches “I needed that” they say)
