Synopsis – Taken
I am accused of the worst of crimes – murdering my baby – and I have hours before this passenger ferry docks in Spain to find him, alive.
Someone knows about my difficult past and darkest secrets, and now I think they’ve taken my baby. But who would do this to me and why? I know the answer. Or least I think I do…
The police want to know why I have fled my home and husband. How do I tell them that I had a breakdown after my first baby died? That today is the anniversary of his death? That my husband is planning on having me sectioned?
Despite what my husband says, I’m not ill. Am I? For I have discovered he has an agenda…
So how could I have been so wrong about him?
And how do I convince the police I’m innocent, when everyone believes I’m guilty, and get my baby back before he disappears forever?

My Review
Taken by Danielle Ramsay
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
3.5 stars
Taken has a very interesting premise and the book grabbed my attention right away. The mental health clinician in me was intrigued by the mental health issues and how they were being handled.
I found the first half of the book to be a bit slow. It was clear that we were struggling through the main character’s paranoia and brain fog but that did get tiresome at times.
The book did pick up and I did find the ending satisfying even if not completely surprising.
Overall, if you are a fan of psychological thrillers then I would definitely give this one a try. I look forward to reading additional things by this author.
