I listened to this one and the narrator did a good job of making the characters come to life for me.

Now that Frank Malloy is rich, he can no longer be a policeman and is fired. But that does not stop Frank from helping a father find his missing daughter.

You can kind of figure it out, but the process of Sarah and Frank going on the hunt is the best part.

I am giving this 5 out of 5 stars. ...more
