- Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2018Format: KindleVerified Purchase“Stranger Abduction” is a well-written novel based on an actual event. A mother and daughter walk from their home to a store in Arizona and never make it back. Mr. Chitwood gives a very viable and chilling account as to what might have happened next. Doris and Deena find themselves thrown into the human trafficking trade, while the Deputy Jack Kiefer never gives up on finding them. The details and characters kept this a page turning book as well as the side story with the Deputy. This is a glimpse into an evil that is going on around us as “products” (a label used for Doris and Deena) are being drugged and used for other’s gratification or service. I highly recommend this book, because even with a dark subject matter there are always heroes.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2018Format: KindleVerified PurchaseCan you imagine anything more frightening than a mother and daughter disappearing from a quiet rural road? That's exactly the tale that Billy Ray Chitwood relates in Stranger Abduction. This is a fictitious account of an actual event. A mother and daughter walking home from the store, happy and eating ice cream when evil pounces. The way the author wove this tale around all the characters involved is gripping. I discovered many sub-plots in this book and sometimes that doesn't work. But, in this book, it worked perfectly and I had no trouble following along. This is a chilling, well-written story that will keep you on the edge of your seat, break your heart and then mend it slowly but surely. A great read!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2017Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThe story is a frightening one - the abduction of a mother and her daughter, but it becomes a haunting masterpiece through the writing skill of the author. I was entranced by Billy Ray Chitwood's ability to create a scene through description and dialogue. Characters emerge warts and all; they are believable, they are people you might know. We travel with them through time and shifting circumstances and experience their world through the writer's able pen. This is a gripping story based on actual events, but it is also a beautifully structured novel.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2017Format: KindleVerified PurchaseA chilling and frightening account of a mother and daughter abduction. I appreciated that the author spared the reader of any details as to how they were treated sexually and physically. They are kept in a drugged state which affects their memory, ability to try to escape, and communicate with one another. I never lost interest in the book which was a page turner.
The role of the sheriff and his own personal struggles and successes are nicely woven in without distracting from the abduction. Well edited.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2015A harrowing tale about the abduction of mother and daughter, based on true events.
The prologue between two 'businessmen' agreeing a 'trade' regarding the delivery of 'products' lets you know immediately just who the women will have to deal with. Gripping seems almost the wrong word for the novel, due to its real life relevance. Some chapters give insight into the victims, others tell the story from a more distant perspective, which for me contrasted really well how the personal experience is compared to the 'story' of an abduction.
Fortunately, in this fictionalised account, there is much that lightens the tone and helps the novel to steer clear of formula and predictability. A well composed book that stayed with me long after I put it down.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2016Format: PaperbackAuthor Billy Ray Chitwood has firsthand knowledge of a mother and daughter team who were abducted, never to be found.
How does he know this?
He lived near the site of their disappearance when it happened—in the Sulphur Springs Valley area of Arizona. Although inspired by actual events, Stranger Abduction is a work of fiction, but I believe the author’s connection to this part of the country informs his writing. A riveting and grim storyline is tempered with his compassionate voice for the plight of the victims.
Humanity, loss, and hope are enduring themes and make for a powerful read.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2015Format: PaperbackBased on a real case of a mother and daughter disappearance (which was never solved), Billy Ray Chitwood's latest novel is a darkly-imagined story of exploitation and violence South of the Border. As is usual with Chitwood's books, the descriptions are spare, the pace is fast, and the characters drawn with a few deft strokes of the pen. Human and romantic elements lighten what could otherwise be a grim tale, but in the hands of this writer makes for a gripping narrative.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2016This is an interesting read. As readers are introduced to a large family including seventeen children who belong to Papa Jim and Mama Doris Paulson, they are also taken along on an incredible journey. When Doris and her daughter Deena are abducted and taken to Mexico the incredible story begins. Deputy Jack Keifer is not going to give up on this case, even if it takes years to solve. Readers will love this adventure and find the story rings with the truth. Things like this happen all the time. The author does a great job showing what happens and readers will find themselves hanging on for the ending.
