Eleven hours

Rating 4/5
"Eleven hours" by Paulina Simmons was indeed a page turner.

Didi, a 9 months pregnant woman gets kidnapped from a shopping mall by a supposedly kidnapper who doesn't want a ransom.
Time shifts through the scenes where Rich, her husband is introduced and he gets scared upon realizing that his pregnant wife has been kidnapped.
Next the FBI steps in and the officer in charge Scott decides to persue this kidnapper, all the while bragging his record on being able to catch the culprit. However as time goes on, upon seeing Rich's desperate state to get his wife back does he realize that his record in victim recovery is not good enough.
Thus going against conventional protocal the book takes us a ride on the Eleven Hours of these people.


Shifting through simultaneous scenes, the experiences of the kidnapped Didi, her struggles to gain freedom, Rich's presence of mind despite his state and the kidnapper's gruesome and unstable personality, the book keeps you hooked on till the end. And with a major twist of events the book ends leaving the reader in utter disbelief at the way things unfold.
