Chronicle To Books Taken
Abducted at the age of sixteen and coerced into assisting the Jacoby crime family, Shannon Bliss has finally found a way out. She desperately wants to resume some semblance of normal life, but she also knows she has some unfinished business to attend to. She has enough evidence to put her captors behind bars for a very long time.When Shannon contacts private investigator and former cop Matthew Dane to help her navigate her reentry into society, she quickly discovers that gaining her freedom doesn’t mean her troubles are over. For one thing, her brother is the leading candidate in the race for Illinois governor, and news of her escape will create a media frenzy. For another, the ransom her family reportedly paid years earlier appears to have been a scam; no one knows what happened to the money. And then there’s the fact that Shannon’s escape involved faking her own death. If the Jacoby family learns she is still alive, they’ll stop at nothing to silence her.
If justice is to be done, and if Shannon’s life is ever to get on track again, Matthew will need to discover exactly what happened to her–even if it means stirring up a hornet’s nest of secrets.

Love love love loved this book! It reminded me of the famous Patty Hearst case from 1974 and 1975. This was the first book that I have read by Dee Henderson but now I am hooked. Mysteries and suspense novels are some of my favorites to read and this one also had a nice element of a "hint of romance". I hated having to put my kindle aside and stop reading to walk the dogs, wash clothes, etc today. I was very anxious to know what was going to happen next for Shannon. Shannon and Matthew areOne should never judge a book by its cover, I know, but I needed to learn that the hard way on this one. This cover displays SUSPENSE. Then you read the back cover and guess what, it describes what one would expect to be a SUSPENSEFUL novel! Unfortunately, there was zero suspense in this story. I thought this would be about Shannon finding/keeping her freedom. Instead it was really a story about her healing process with romance thrown in. As much as I like romance themes in novels, the lack of
This could have been a new favorite book. Compelling set up, amazing attention to detail.Cons: Too much attention to detail, this book should have been cut in half. This book was really belabored, and the details got so excruciating, the whole thing began to drag. The book seemed to be climbing towards some kind of amazing end finale (she HAD escaped from the Mob) but nothing ever happened. There wasn't any action, just a lot of talking. There was a big twist at the end, that I really disliked
Absolutely loved this book. Intelligent! Not the action packed suspenseful dramas Dee Henderson usually writes, more dialog, but I really liked that about this story. Its a piecemeal storyline controlled by a young woman who can only get out small portions at a time, both from trauma and need to protect others. Will work on more of a review on my flight to Texas in the morning. **********************************************Taken By: Dee HendersonMain characters:Matthew Dane: Private investigator
Shannon Bliss was kidnapped and held for eleven years. Now she is free and wants to "go home". She seeks out private investigator and former cop, Matthew Dane, whose daughter was kidnapped and returned.I have mixed feelings about this one. It was fairly good but not a romantic suspense like I expected. In fact I could argue on whether it qualifies as a romance at all. It was more about Shannon coming to terms with her past and the friendship/bond that developed between her and Matthew. There is
Title: TakenAuthor: Dee HendersonPages: 432Year: 2015Publisher: Bethany House PublishersMy rating is 4 out of 5 stars.Matthew Dane is a private investigator with a past that includes his daughter being kidnapped but eventually returned to him. With that experience under his belt, he is uniquely qualified to act as liaison for his new client, Shannon Bliss. She also is the victim of a kidnapping 11 years ago and has escaped her captors. He understands how overwhelmed Shannon is going to feel once
