Stolen Grace: A gripping and heart-pounding suspense thriller and family drama

Arianne Richmonde had me holding my breath most of the way through this book.If you are looking for a book to grip all your emotions and make you feel like it is you the reader who is going through this, then I would highly recommend you read this!It starts with a family who have up rooted from the high life of New York city to the quiet country life in Wyoming. Sylvia and Tommy's marriage is on the rocks and he is fighting to win back the trust of his wife. Unfortunately not much work being where they live he is having to travel to LA for an interview leaving his wife and young daughter Grace at home.While Tommy is in LA Sylvia's friend Ruth who she met through a friend of a friend was coming to stay and keep her company. After a devastating phone call Sylvia needs to get to her father and quick with only 1 seat left on the plane and Tommy not able to be home till that morning they agree to let Ruth watch over Grace until he gets back, little do they realise this is going to be the worst decision of their life.This is where I started holding my breath and forgot to let it back out Sylvia's trusted friend takes Grace and goes on the run with her. Throughout this book you are full of emotions be it the hatred for Ruth or the feelings of sadness and despair for Tommy and Sylvia but always having that bit of hope that they will all be reunited as a family.I will not say anymore as I do not want to ruin it for you the reader. All I will say is make sure you have a box of tissues at the ready. Arianne Richmonde shows us by this book there is nothing she can not put her hand to. Absolutely brilliant story from start to finish.

I am a fan of the physiological thriller type books and, whilst I did enjoy the story overall, I did find it a little far fetched. Still a decent read if you suspend belief a little and try not to ask too many questions!

Really enjoyed this book. When they say " couldnt put it down " i know tjis is what they mean

I couldn’t put this book down. I enjoyed every minute of it. Brilliantly written. I can’t wait for Arianne’s next book.

Mine was a free book[part1 only] so it says to buy the book and start reading at chapter22. so I did that....no book found on my kindle!!!!!! I only have PART ONE!! So fustrating when it is such a brilliant book. Going mad here.!! Please send me the order again, this time the FULL book so I can read on from chapter22. I really dislike this way of getting the same book twice. Its a fantastic read, I could not put it down,please send it to Jan`s kindle4....i`m begging here, must find Grace!!

There are many good parts in this novel and overall I liked reading it but the main problem I had was with the internal dialogue for the five year old girl - it just didn't feel realistic. While at time she misunderstood long words at others she was thinking about concepts a five year old is unlikely to comprehend. This distracted me from the actual story which has a clever plot and pulls quite well together to a conclusion.

I bought 15 books or so to read over the Summer on my Kindle and this was the only one that I passed on after reading the first few chapters. The writing didn't grab me and I had no feelings either way for the characters. Perhaps if one were to read on it would get into it's stride but for me, it was a mediocre beginning.

This is a very intense story by Arianne and completely different to what we usually expect from our illustrious author. Exceptionally well written as you would expect, it follows the story of a family whose life is about to be torn apart.
