Abducted is a work of thriller and mystery fiction penned by author Linda Watkins, and it forms the third book in The Kate Pomeroy Gothic Mystery Series. The novel contains no graphic content and is therefore suitable for readers of all sensitivities. As Dr. Kate Pomeroy prepares to put the terrifying mysteries and supernatural goings-on of her past behind her, trouble lurks nearby once again. Just as Kate thinks everything – including her wedding with Jeremy – is all settled, she herself is abducted and taken away from everything she knows. With little to go on and a future that’s looking dark, it’s a matter of time to see if Kate and Jeremy can be reunited again.
Author Linda Watkins has created a truly suspenseful and psychological mystery novel, unlike anything I’ve ever read before. To find the ‘detective’ figure of the story caught up as the central victim of the kidnapping is a rare and enjoyable treat, for as capable as Kate is, she is still in real, emotive danger as the novel begins. What follows is a well-crafted plot that is penned to maintain that suspense for an impressive amount of time, with little plot points being delivered here and there: snippets of clues to keep readers guessing and hungry for more. What results is a deep, slow-burning and highly engrossing read, with plenty of surprises and plot satisfaction as you near the story’s end. Overall, Abducted is highly recommended for dark, psychological suspense fans and thriller and mystery readers alike.
