By James Siegel
Preformed by Holter Graham

     Siegel's latest suspense novel, Detour, begins with a trip to Colombia where Joanna and Paul pick up their adopted daughter. She's everything they dreamed of. Immediately, Joanna bonds with her, becomes familiar with her new baby within a night's time. When the new parents go on a walk and leave the baby with a sitter at the hotel, the baby disappears. When the sitter finally arrives with the baby, Joanna begins to notice things aren't as they seem. The couple decides later to seek out the young woman and life takes a very dangerous turn. A new family of three is forced apart - dad sent on a deadly journey and mom forced to suffer a terrifying nightmare. Despite some predictable moments, Siegel offers readers/listeners a suspenseful trip worth taking. Highly recommended.

     Holter Graham narrates the audio version. The further he delves into the storyline, the smoother his reading becomes. He methodically lays out the storyline and patiently sets up the suspense. Good listen, good book. The subject is mature theme, so remember those headphones.
