Items related to Hostage To Murder
The long-awaited sixth Lindsay Gordon mystery is a lightning-paced story spliced with crackling action and an intense emotional dimension. Jobless in Glasgow, Lindsay Gordon makes friends with a young freelance journalist Rory McLaren. From there it is just a short step to political corruption and other juicy stories - all welcome distractions from Lindsay's problems at home with her partner Sophie. But when a local car-dealer's stepson is kidnapped, Lindsay and Rory are invited to trade journalism for detection. The trail leads them to St Petersburg and a dangerous snatch-back operation. It becomes clear that Lindsay and Rory have stumbled into a bigger, more violent piece of business than either of them could have guessed - and one which will test Lindsay to her absolute limits.

From AudioFile:
This slow-starting mystery features Lindsay Gordon, an out-of-work reporter, and her partner, Sophie, in their quest for Sophie to get pregnant, and Rory McLaren, a freelance reporter. Once the listener finally learns of the hostage situation, Rory and Lindsay begin their hunt to unravel the crime. Narrating in a quiet voice, Vari Sylvester sounds emotionally uninvolved as she describes both action scenes and the intimate relationship between Lindsay and Sophie. Sylvester handles the details with professional aplomb while following the two-pronged plot to get Sophie pregnant and find the kidnapped child.
