This week, I am featuring the third book from my ‘First Reads’ shelf at Goodreads and would like to thank both them and publisher HarperCollins respectively, for selecting my name to win this title and for sending to me so promptly, my lovely hardcover edition.
Everything about this one, from the reputation of author Luke Delaney, to the title and cover art of the book and the intriguing and slightly sinister synopsis, is screaming …. “Read Me”

‘THE TOY TAKER’
Your child has been taken …
Snatched in the dead of night from the safety of the family home. There’s no sign of forced entry, no one heard or saw a thing.
DI Sean Corrigan investigates.
He needs to find four-year-old George Bridgeman before abduction becomes murder. But his ability to see into dark minds, to think like those he hunts, has deserted him – just when he needs it most.
Another child vanishes
What kind of monster is Corrigan hunting? And will he work it out in time to save the children?

What would you like readers to take away from the experience of reading your novel?
A realization that there’s nothing fun or entertaining about violent death; and what a tough and undervalued job the police do – not to mention underpaid. The book’s entertainment lies in the story. The deaths are there as a wake-up call and a challenge to people who may have become anaesthetized to reality.
