I'm running very behind with reviews at the moment, but on the upside getting some great books read (I will catch up soon I promise Andrea :) ), but in the meantime, A Decent Ransom is the first adult novel from Australian author Ivana Hruba.
From the Blurb:
When a woman is kidnapped and her husband refuses to pay the ransom, she plans her revenge with the help of her kidnappers in this clever tale of redemption.
Opening Lines:
It began with a perfect plan. Shape-wise we had a circle, a simple uncomplicated curve to guide us comfortably from one thing to another, an easy predictable ride promising a natural progression from A to B, C and D, and so on until we reached our destination. But somewhere down that smooth line, I think around F, it all went pear-shaped.
