WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO PROTECT YOUR CHILD?

Jan 15, 2009

by Gail_Cooke

Rating:

If you listened to John Bedford Lloyd's narration of Box's previous novel, Blue Heaven, you know you're in for another splendid reading with Three Weeks to Say Goodbye. If you overlooked Blue Heaven, don't miss this one!

Lloyd is a gifted film and television actor who won a Publishers Weekly "Listen Up" Award for the best audios of the year, and his outstanding delivery continues. Lloyd's voice is deep, rich and his reading is perfectly paced to reflect the tension in Box's story of a young couple fighting for their only child.

Jack and Melissa McGuane are an honest, hardworking husband and wife who would very much like to start a family but have not been able to do so. Their happiness is complete when they adopt a baby girl, Angelina. Regrettably their joy is short lived when a brief nine months later they learn that due to a glitch at the adoption agency Angelina's teenage father never signed away his parental rights. Now, he wants his baby back.

The boy is worse than a ne'er-do-well, he verges on being sociopathic. Jack is determined to protect Angelina but matters become even more complicated when he learns that the boy's father is a prominent Denver judge who sides with his son. It soon becomes apparent that neither the boy nor his father want Angelina because they love the child. Their motives are much darker, so black that Angelina's life might be in danger. But how can Jack fight a wealthy man, a powerful political machine, and a deranged teenaged boy?

One more spine-tingler from Edgar Award winning C. J. Box and read by the gifted John Bedford Lloyd.
