The Soul Collectors by Chris Mooney

A missing child claims he is still alive ten years later and has taken his family hostage. Where has he been and why has he come back? Why is someone or something abducting children and torturing adults? Chris Mooney’s latest thriller featuring CSI Darby McCormick places her in more danger than ever before and takes her to the edge of insanity.

Verdict: If I weren’t paid by the word, I would simply write “Wow!* This is worthy of all the clichés – an intriguing, well written, page turner, with a real chill factor. Not suitable for arachnophobics. *****
* [Ed note: you aren’t paid, so get on with it!]
