Summary

 In the middle of a rainy Swedish summer, a little girl is abducted from a crowded train.

Despite hundreds of potential witnesses, no one noticed when the girl was taken. Her mother, left behind at the previous station, alerted the crew immediately. But as the train pulled into Stockholm Central Station, the girl was nowhere to be seen.

To Inspector Alex Recht of the Stockholm police, this looks like a classic custody row. But none of the evidence adds up and young Investigative Analyst Fredrika Bergman is convinced the case is far more complex than her boss is prepared to admit.

So when the missing child is found dead in the far north of Sweden, with the word UNWANTED scribbled on her forehead, the rule book is finally thrown out of the window.

Now on the trail of a ruthless murderer with a terrifying agenda, will Alex and Fredrika manage to put aside their differences and work together to find the killer, before it's too late?

What did you like best about Unwanted? What did you like least?

Whilst the story itself was pretty good, I really did not like the narrator. Whilst her narrative in her own voice was normal and easy to listen to, nearly every character was read in a dreadful slow drawl or growl which soon grew really irritating. Only the interest of the story kept me going. I will certain avoid anything narrated by Maggie Mash in future as she so nearly completely ruined a decent story.

Appalling narration

Would you listen to Unwanted again? Why?

The story, although I'm only halfway thro' the book is really holding my attention but I'm finding the narrator's voice harsh, abrasive and unrealistic. This does occasionally happen but the voice usually softens, probably as the narrator settles down. This hasn't happened however. I will persist as the story is gripping but I won't have another of Kristina Ohlsson's books with this narrator.

What did you like best about this story?

Fast moving although evil, good escapism. Haven't finished it yet.

What didn’t you like about Maggie Mash’s performance?

Harsh voice, abrasive, not realistic.
Do not want to be mean.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Uncomfortable at times but that's the nature of the genre.

Any additional comments?

The story was good and that is the only thing that kept me listening .
Maggie Mash is fine in her own voice but oh my god her male voices are terrible and why oh why does she make all the characters sound either like they smoke 50 cigarettes a day or feeble and why does everyone sound so breathless!.
Took me half the book to ignore her bad voices and just listen to the story . Nearly returned it but persevered as i was intrigued about how it was going to end. Wouldn’t recommend for narration but story is ok.

Narrator was Hard to listen to
