I hated the first four chapters but after that I was on an emotional roller coaster. The scenes were described in a way I could see it happening. Those that don’t think it’s a good psychological thriller didn’t put themselves at the scenes and inside the characters feeling their desperation and pain.

Amazing book. Enjoy both sides of the story as well as knowing why she did it! Would recommend

I read this story a while back and it's definitely one of my favorites to reread. I have since read all this author's books and am looking forward to her newest!

Great read

A complete page turner. I loved how each chapter went from one point of view to another. I’m only sorry I read it so fast!!

As always a super read i just love Maggie James book they suck you right in and dont let you go and this one does not disappoint might be my favorite from her go get it

Ugh, I tried really hard to like this book. The overwhelming highly rated reviews made me feel like I was missing something. It just wasn’t hitting the mark for me. Clunky, and disjointed chapters and overtly graphic abuse descriptions.

Audiobook Version

His Kidnappers Shoes was advertised as a psychological thriller, but I didn't find it suspenseful or thrilling at all. Even though this book wasn't what I was expecting, I still really enjoyed the Daniel and Laura's stories.

Daniel just found out, as an adult, that the woman who raised him kidnapped him from his biological family. I've always wondered how an adult would process this. If the family who kidnapped him gave him a good life, would he be angry? If the home he grew up in was bad, would it fuel his anger further? Daniel's reactions to this life-altering news seemed very genuine and realistic to me. There were some parts of the story that moved a little slower than I usually like, but it still held my attention and took me for a ride.

I chose to listen to the audiobook version of His Kidnappers Shoes and ended up with mixed feelings about the narration. I felt the male narrator, Nico Evers-Swindell, did a great job voicing Daniel's chapters, but the female narrator, Susan Duerden, left me with mixed feelings. There were some places the female narration seemed too breathy, if that makes any sense. I ended up getting used to the female narration, but it could be frustrating at times.

I really really liked this book. It had me hooked from the very start with the changing povs.
