"If you're a security expert, what do you do if your fiancee suddenly goes missing, presumably kidnapped? If you're Daniel Trent, a highly trained specialist in hostage negotiation, the answer is simple: You find out who took her and you make them talk. But what if your chief suspect is taken as well? How do you get him back quickly--and alive--so you can find out what really happened to your fiancee? Set in Marseille, Chris Ewan's Dead Line is a fast-paced stand-alone thriller that pitches the reader into Daniel's world, as he tries desperately to secure the release of Jerome Moreau from a ruthless gang in order to interrogate him on the whereabouts of his fiancee. When things don't go according to plan, Daniel must use all his skills and instincts to find the answers he's looking for, but will he be in time?"--… (mehr)

A tense thriller with some interesting twists but at points I was getting a little bored with it because the characters were flat. ( )

I really struggled to finish this book because it did not grip me in the way that I thought that it would. On the cover it says "She's gone and time is running out." This in itself is quite a good hook you in line, but unfortunately the situation suggested by this is not resolved by the end of the book, or if it is, it is a disappointing and unsatisfactory resolution. Not encouraged to revisit this author. ( )

This book was confusing and not as good as this authors other books. I kept hoping it would start to make more sense and the story would come together for me but it never did.

I should have DNF’d.

Simon Vance’s narration was wonderful as always!

This is a jolly good read.
Main character is Daniel Trent he is a hostage negotiator and has been asked to help with the release of a Rich businessman. Daniel believes this Businessman Jerome Moreau is responsible for his pregnant fiancée going missing.
Set in the South of France there are a few twists and turns along the way.
All is not as it seems and you are not sure who to trust.
I don't want to spoil it
The book ends but its left open for a second novel. ( )

A special thank you to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Chris Ewan's DEAD LINE, crosses over to the dark side, with professional hostage negotiator, Daniel Trent for a fast paced suspense crime thriller.

Highly skilled, Daniel Trent, the specialist works in the dangerous field of hostage negotiation...along with his fiancée, Aimee. Aimée, is also his business partner and lover, carrying their child.

When Aimee goes missing, Trent thinks he knows who is responsible and definitely will not be getting the police involved. The plan is simple, grab Moreau and make him talk. He finds himself forced to negotiate the release from kidnapping of the man as he tries desperately to secure the release of Jérôme Moreau from a ruthless gang, in order to interrogate him on the whereabouts of his fiancée.

However, someone else gets there first grabbing Moreau and finds himself working with Moreau’s beautiful ballet dancer wife- full of emotions and anguish where nothing is as it seems with eyes watching.

This was my first book by Ewan and he is quite the storyteller, a master at unfolding events at his own pace, keeping the reader on the edge with a cliffhanger ending. An intense read with twist and turns at every corner, keeping you guessing as who to trust. From gangsters, glamour, a trophy wife, plus more for a compelling action packed read.

After reading the author’s blog, found it quite interesting, his inspiration for the novel set in exotic and intriguing Marseille, mostly narrated in third-person, with extensive research, and set up for this action crime suspense novel.

Looking forward to reading, Safe House, after reading the rave reviews!
