I have to be honest, I had never heard of Conrad Jones (Sorry Mr Jones), and really only bought the book as it was a bargain on the Kindle and I'm open to reading any thrillers from any authors.
Initially I couldn't work out where the book was going as in the first 4 chapters, two were dealing with a child taker and the other two were dealing with a secret ops unit in somalia. When it became apparant where the book was going I was enthralled and couldn't put it down.
I cannot believe those that have given the book 1 and 2 star ratings, one even saying the writing was childlike! I found the book every bit as a good as those from writers such as Linwood Barclay, Andrew Gross, James Patterson. The book kept me gripped to the end, and boy what an ending.
I would certainly read more books from this author, although not so keen on the terrorist genre of books, but certainly if he wrote more thrillers like this I would buy them all.
Highly recommend it. Give it a try.

A thriller wrapped around child abduction is not an easy book to write I suspect, and, at times, its not easy to read either. But the author handles the topic with sensitivity, whilst not easing up on the customary helping of graphic and, at times, gory descriptive prose.
But this book demonstrates yet again the creative talent of Conrad Jones as a story teller, as he weaves a cleverly constructed plot through to its ultimate, and rather unexpected, conclusion.
This is the sixth book in the Soft Target series, and I've read them all, one after the other. I can't say that this is my favourite..maybe I found it a little disturbing..but it is none the less a cracking read, and fully up to the high standard that the author has established in a short time.

I started this book on Wednesday morning and had finished it by Thursday morning, was that good I couldn't put it down. Would recommend it to anybody who loves a good thriller.
