#BookonTour Gone In Seconds By Ed James #Bookouture #NetGalley


A baby missing. A family in pieces. A shocking secret that can’t be told.

Landon and Jennifer Bartlett have everything—money, influence and a picture-perfect family. But it means nothing when their lives are torn apart the day someone breaks into their plush mansion and takes their newborn child right from his cot.
FBI Agent Max Carter investigates child abduction cases. He has a reputation for working all hours to find every missing child on his watch—after all, he was once one himself. When he visits the Bartletts’ sprawling home in an exclusive estate in the suburbs of Seattle, he’s immediately suspicious of Landon Bartlett and his brother Sam.


As Carter delves deeper into the lives of the brothers, he finds a web of dubious business deals and lies that could cost the Bartlett’s their entire family fortune. And it’s clear they will do anything to keep their secrets—but would they withhold vital information that could lead him to baby Ky’s kidnapper?

As Carter begins a cat-and-mouse game with the kidnapper, he receives some startling news from home, which stops him in his tracks. And when a young woman is spotted boarding a bus out of town with a baby fitting Ky’s description, he must decide whether to risk everything to find the missing child or save his own family.

Fans of Kendra Elliot, Melinda Leigh and Robert Dugoni will love this heart-pumping, pulse-racing crime thriller from bestselling author Ed James.




 Ed James is the author of multiple series of crime novels.

The Craig Hunter books is a sister series to the Cullen novels, with a PTSD-suffering ex-squaddie now working as a cop investigating sexual abuse cases. With lots of slapstick and banter.

Gone In Seconds
By Ed James 
Review by Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I want to thank Ed James for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review. 

The shocking secret in Ed James Gone in Seconds literally pulled on my heart strings!! This abduction story is unlike any I have ever read before. It is filled with so many secrets, many winding twists and curves, and shocking moments. The saddest part of all an innocent baby is missing throughout this craziness. 

I will admit that this cover pulled hard on my heart strings that I just had to read the book. It was so perfect for this story. Kudos to the graphic designer on this one. 

Abduction books have always been a fascination of mine for some reason. This storyline was so totally different from all the rest that I have read. This was an abduction of baby KY. It had a little bit of high profile political figures, brotherly fights, a lot of secrets, twists and turns galore, shocking revelations, etc. 

For me personally I preferred the middle to the ending more than the first part of the book. I loved when Jennifer opened up her heart and we saw her true self shine. Then things started falling into place for me. 

This book is dedicated to Mark Edwards, for a cracking week in the Pacific Northwest and a character name, though you might regret letting me use your name.
