Review:

"Gripping, terrifying. If you like Martina Cole, you'll love this" -- Tess Gerritsen "Niamh O'Connor has written five successful true crime books, and burst onto the burgeoning Irish thriller scene last year with her first Jo Birmingham adventure, If I Never See You Again, which was a best-seller. With Taken, O'Connor has pulled off the elusive feat of delivering a second novel that betters the original" * Irish Independent *
