I don’t know what it is but there’s something about children going missing.
So many books are written about this and some merge into another, you know?

Well, this one was an exception to that and really sucked me in and it kept giving and giving to my inquisitive mind.

I’ve regrettably had this book on my kindle for far too long and this year is the year to read more back books.

A well written plot with well rounded characters and excellent plot!

Was an I teresting book it just needed some more polishing to ensure that we had the best of both characters and story.

upon reading the details of this book I have decided that I am no longer interested in reading this one. I thank you for the opportunity.

This kept me in suspense the whole way through, I could not put it down! I sort of guessed the end but was gripped and SO enjoyed this!

Thanks to netgalley for the ARC of this great read.
This book was gripping from the beginning, and I couldn't put it down until the very very last page, I just had to see if the captor (the baddie) got caught. It was really a thrilling read, and I can't wait to read more by this brilliant author!

An easy and interesting book which would be a superb holiday read. For me there were just a few things that let it down and this the three stars rating. The punishment did not fit the crime so to speak ( I am trying not to give any plot away) and a couple of the characters wereunbelievabke too. I felt the plot led the behaviour of the characters too much in particular Rosie and Dan. That said I would still recommend it.

captor by Anita Waller.
This was an absolutely fantastic read. I loved the story and some of the characters. I really wanted to know who captor was. that's what Phil called him. Phil is missing but Rosie his wife thinks he left her. then baby jake disappears. Liz is devasted. who has him. this book had shocks and twists couldnt put it down. didn't like captor. he or she was Evil. didn't have a clue who it was. I had different theorys who the captor was but I was wrong. 5*. highly recommended.

Absolutely brilliant! Thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish

Anita Waller writes a good, engaging story about affairs, friendships, abduction, and more.
Captor will keep you wanting to read until the end........And what an ending!

Wow what a book!!!

A mother’s worst nightmare having her baby abducted and having no idea who took him or why

Little clues are given all the way through as to who the Captor is (I didn’t get it right) and the scene when she goes to pick the baby up from the childminder OMG!!!

Brilliantly written very fast paced and exciting

Thanks to Bloodhound for the advance copy

Would I recommend Anita to my fellow book lovers? Yes!! Yes I would

Put it on the top of your TBR pile you will NOT be disappointed

5☆ Gripping race against time

Wow what a book.
Captor is a thrilling race against time a detective cat and mouse chase.
It was fast paced, gripping, lots of secrets, little twists, murder, kidnap and secret affairs.

I can't write about the plot as it will give too much away.
So what I will say is this is a story about revenge! Who's revenge and why remains a mystery till the end.
 It was cleverly put together and I honestly didn't have a clue!

It's about a mother's anguish, who to trust, secret liaisons.
A child gets abducted is every mothers worst nightmare.

The Captor was brilliant the reader was treated to lil clues that may or may not be linked to the case. The Captor was chilling, cold, yet appeared to have glimmers of softness, but his main drive and focus was revenge!

Every few chapters we delve into the Captors story as we hear from then and the victims inner thoughts.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Captor. I literally read it in one night as I desperately wanted to figure out who the cold, calculating Captor was and if my theory was true! Which it wasn't!

If you are looking for a crime thriller that is somewhat unnerving as it is every mothers worst nightmare, a fast paced page turner that keeps you guessing. Then I definitely recommend Captor!

Thank you for the opportunity to read Netgalley! This was a riveting read from start to finish. Liz has been on maternity leave and right after she goes back to work realizes that the man she had an affair with, the father of her newborn, has been missing for months. Then, "Captor" takes her son. Every single person in her life becomes suspect, it could be anyone. We get glimpses into the life of the missing father and newborn, but the real shocker is who Captor ends up being. This is the only part of the story that I wish had been more explored. I feel like if the psyche of this individual had been a little more explored it would have give more depth to the hatred that this person felt toward Liz and would have added some more suspense to the novel. Great book!

Its that time again Anita Waller has produced another captivating read in her new book Captor, full of secrets, lies, adultery, child abduction, family issues, murder and REVENGE….. What more could you want to titillate and spark your desire for a sensational psychological read.

Liz’s child is abducted from her childminders home, is there someone out there who wants to destroy her life?

Liz harbours a secret which could destroy her family, will she have to reveal the secret to save her child, can she save her family?

All questions which need to be answered!

I followed the scent of the intricate labyrinth of deception and secrets, capturing the essence of fear and suspense, hoping and praying Liz would survive the harrowing ordeal and have her child returned. Liz on occasions seemed a little contrite, but I also found her belligerent at times, this possibly could have been due to the police investigation into her life. Even so, I felt that I actually connected with Liz in several ways, I empathised with her situation, wondering what would I do in her shoes, what would anyone else do, after all its your child.

Anita’s depiction of the characters, lead me to feel cautious and guarded about who was to blame, who could be the perpetrator, they all had aspects in there characterisations which I believed made them capable of abducting a child but boy was I dead wrong. Anita threw me for a loop, all the ducking and diving produced a electrifyingly first-class conclusion to a traumatic thriller.

I guarantee you will not be able to put Captor to rest until finished, jam packed and stacked with everything you could desire in a criminal psychological thriller.

Thank you to Anita Waller for capturing my imagination and thoroughly enthralling my senses, it has been a pleasure to have been offered an advanced readers copy of Captor, to read and review with my own unbiased opinions. Also thanks to Bloodhound Books and Sarah Hardy for a damn good read, keep the fantastic books coming!

Loved, loved, loved it….

Wow. what an amazing book. To say I couldn’t put it down doesn’t seem enough. I felt like it was glued not just to my fingers, but to my eyes and my mind. I didn’t have a choice. It’s *that* good.

We begin, with the disappearance of Liz’s son, and we follow through as she struggles to find him. At the same time as uncovering the ‘secret; she has been keeping and it’s far reaching consequences.

It’s a great tale of how even the simplest of our actions, all taken with the best of intentions create ripples, like a stone thrown in pond, that can unsettle the foundations of everything we believe in.

I’m not a huge fan of British books. I often find them to be difficult to read without getting tripped up by the spelling, etc.
That didn’t happen with this book. From the beginning, I felt drawn into the story. I even found myself writing a list of who I thought”Captor” might be (I was proven right!).
The story was well written and kept this reader up well into the wee hours to finish it. The spectrum of emotions I found myself experiencing ran the whole of them. As a mom myself, I rode the waves of tension right along with Liz; at times, I was exhausted!

Captor is an edge of your seat thriller, with so many twists and turns! You won’t want to put it down!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Well what can I say? I have been really looking forward to reading Captor by Anita Waller and I wasn’t disappointed.

You had suspense, drama and tears all in one book.

The turn of every page kept me hooked, Captor was beautifully written and brilliantly thought out. Although I guessed who the Captor was beforehand, there were a few red herrings thrown in to shake the reader off the scent.

Captor is one book you must read if you like suspense, crime and a good book.

I have been a big fan of Anita’s since reading Beautiful and she only gets better with every book she writes. If you haven’t read any of Anita’s books, then please do, she is one very talented author and one that shouldn’t be missed.

Wow what a great book this one had me captivated. It was a tense crime thriller that has twists that will keep you guessing. Just when I though I knew what was going to happen Boom! there's that twist. Really well written I loved everything about it, it was raw, sad, creepy and dark. Really enjoyed it, well worth the read.

This is the third book I have read by this author and I have to say that she is a brilliant author and I know when I pick up one of her books I am definitely in for a treat!!

The cover and the blurb are great and you are completely drawn in as soon as you start reading the book, it is a very hard one to put down and I stayed up late to finish the book off. Liz is a great character and I couldn’t wait to see how the book ended- a really well written, gripping book with plenty of twists for me!

Five stars from me – very highly recommended!!

This is the 5th book I have read by Anita Waller and I was not disappointed.

The book is centered around Liz who had an affair, with Phil, whilst her husband was working away and as a result baby Jake is born. She ends the affair as soon as she discovers the pregnancy and has no further contact with Phil. After returning to work, after maternity leave, Liz discovers that Phil has been missing for months and then her son is kidnapped from the childminders.
Are the two connected ? Who is responsible ? Is Liz the real target ?
This book had me gripped from the start and I couldn’t wait to read more just to find out what was going to happen next.
I am a big fan of Anita’s writing and this latest book doesn’t disappoint. Would highly recommend to anyone that loves a good suspense.
