Snatched by Pamela Burford

 

Synopsis:

Is an uncomplicated divorce and a fresh start at forty too much to ask? Apparently it is for Lucy Narby, whose life goes from blah to bizarro when competing kidnappers lock horns in her kitchen. And really, does the victor have to be that hot? If this is the Stockholm syndrome, it sure didn’t take her long to catch it! 

Lucy’s kidnapper calls himself Will but looks suspiciously like ’80s child TV star Ricky Baines, whose acting career was cut short when he himself was snatched and held for ransom 25 years ago in a notorious cold case that remains unsolved. Will’s gang includes an aging French bombshell, an outlandish Irish giant with a mysterious past and a thing for Will’s sister, and long-lost Cousin Hal—a charming fellow who neglects to mention that he happens to be the twisted sociopath who kidnapped Will when he was still America’s favorite little star. Hal spent the past quarter century in the slammer for an unrelated murder, and now he’s out and determined to locate the $2 million ransom Will’s family paid. Someone else dug up the cash while Hal was behind bars, and that sort of thing tends to make twisted sociopaths a tad grouchy.

Fortunately (or not), Lucy’s bigamous ex is on the case. But so are a gay private eye in a fat suit and a bad-tempered parrot with an ax to grind, so no worries. Everyone has a secret and no one is who he seems when Kidnap Fever strikes.

 

 

My Review: 4 out of 5

This was a very interesting read, there are so many characters in the book, each with their own agenda and quirky personalities.  There is plot twists and turns everywhere and at first, when you don't know what is going on, it can become quite confusing and confronting.  But as the story goes on, the plot starts to unravel all the twists and your mind has a chance to catch up and then you be come intrigued into how they are all going to come together.

 

It is not your typical romance story, it is more of a suspense/mystery story with a liberal dose of humour and a touch of romance.  

 

 

Would I read the next in the series or another story by this Author?

Yes, I would read others by this author. 

 

 

Would I recommend someone else to read this story?

Yes, it is a unique suspense romance.  I would say keep reading, it will all make sense in the end.
