Undelivered (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781517683566)

An absorbing but frightening psychological thriller with more than a touch of horror about it, 'Undelivered' centres on a lone woman victim who, like so many others, goes missing under truly macabre and mysterious circumstances. Arriving at a place called Highlands, a place where only the heartless live, she becomes the captive of the strangest of affluent owners. To worsen events, she soon learns that she is pregnant. Losing the baby seems inconceivable, but the longer she remains in residence, the more her untimely friend will hinder her performance. The race to escape is on. With Christmas fast-approaching to her estimated childbirth - and with the time of month lacking the typical seasonal goodwill - she does everything possible to deliver them to safety. The book opens with an introduction to the moments leading up to the final chapter: an imprisoned woman who has been put through the mill. Told in past tense, the story unfolds to explain how Laura has decided to voluntarily leave her sweet family and home; only to end up as another missing figure included in a growing national statistic. The attention focuses on her interaction amongst her tormentors (who all initially hide their true intentions once she reaches the remote location), but at which point the inactive family of eight still happen to make her skin crawl. Dark events soon reveal the family's true colours. Expected to relax and watch television whilst under constant surveillance, she finally gets let out onto the grounds to discover the addition of a high-tech security system guarding the perimeter, which forces her to partake in an epic fight for survival. Totally overwhelmed by the stronghold, we follow the trials and tribulations of the lady's harrowing emotional drama until we recapture the opening scene and progress to an entirely unexpected outcome.
