Abducted by T.R. Ragan

Fourteen years ago Lizzy Gardner fought for her life at the hands of a sadistic killer and escaped. She has struggled to get by since that fateful night she was taken by a serial killer known as Spiderman. The only one of his victims to escape, she has never forgotten him, and little does she know, Spiderman has never forgotten her. Fourteen years later he has come back into Lizzy’s life and made it clear that she will not escape again.

This novel has all the elements of a great thriller, a psychopathic killer, unwilling heroine, and a courageous love interest. For those in love with the formula of a mystery you will not be disappointed. Ragan leaves the reader guessing throughout this story and gives an ending that is true to the genre of thriller. The plot, however, doesn't require much in the way of extensive thought.

The writing in Abducted is clean and precise. The dialog is well written and allows the reader to move smoothly through the plot.  The loose ends are tied up nicely by the turn of the last page. However, if you are looking for a dynamic and thought provoking story line do not embark upon this journey. I would recommend this novel as a quick read for traveling or laying by the pool.
