    About this audiobook

    This compendium of bestselling author Traci Hohenstein’s Asylum Harbor and Burn Out presents Florida Omni Search founder Rachel Scott in pursuit of two high-intensity missing-persons cases.

    In Asylum Harbor, we meet Amber Knowles, a beautiful high school senior and Florida governor John Knowles’s daughter, who disappears during a cruise to the Bahamas. When Governor Knowles realizes his daughter has vanished without a trace, he seeks Rachel’s help.

    The teenager’s disappearance represents every parent’s worst fear, and Rachel knows only too well what losing a daughter feels like. Her three-year-old, Mallory, went missing five years before Asylum Harbor.

    As she works with FBI special agent, Drake Reynolds, Rachel discovers an organized crime ring linked to the cruise line. The last person known to see Amber aboard the ship was an incognito DEA agent, who also has vanished. Where is he? And where is Amber? Finally, where is Mallory?

    In Burn Out, the second Rachel Scott Adventure, firefighter Lieutenant Samantha Collins vanishes while combating a warehouse blaze, leaving only her helmet behind. Sam’s mother seeks Florida Omni Search’s expert help, but Rachel can’t possibly anticipate how terrifying the Sam Collins case will be. Sam’s husband’s drug operation introduces perilous dimensions to the case. Has Sam been kidnapped? Has she fled amidst the criminal investigation? Rachel moves through the case methodically and uncovers clues that could reveal what happened to her own daughter. Through both adventures, suspense and action are at a premium.

      In these two books, we will meet the woman at the center of these stories and learn her story. Rachel Scott was a very successful, wealthy business woman until her life underwent a life changing experience when her young daughter went missing. Years later, she is still looking for some clue as to what happen to Mallory but doing so led her to establish a non-profit organization, Florida Omni Search, that brings cutting edge technology and an army of volunteers to help law enforcement find missing people.Well, on these two, there is some good news and some bad news. Let's start with the less than good. While these are not badly written, the writing is not the best either. The dialogue is often stilted and unnatural sounding. If anything, the writing is a little too simple, and repeats things endlessly. Authors, trust your readers. Say it one..and move on. No need to beat us over the head. And then there are the holes in the plots, questions the readers looking for answers will never get and more than one development that really stretches the story's credibility. OK, a little spoiler here...kidnapped sex slaves on a tropical island? Really?But on the plus side, there are some positives here too. Rachel is a good character, effective, interesting, clever and sympathetic. The cast of secondary characters is a little undeveloped but holds some potential and the variety of interesting storylines that could be tied into Omni Search seems endless. Of the two books, I think the second, Burn Out, is the better. It is more realistic, less over the top and hopefully shows the direction future stories in the series should take.The pair are a quick, easy read that moves fast. Maybe it would be the perfect thing for a long plane trip, the beach or the backyard hammock with a cool umbrella drink. But would I recommend you run out and grab it up? Not so much.

      Rachel Scott's daughter was abducted at age three. Rachel searched for Mallory for a very long time, and in fac, has never stopped. Not long after Mallory vanished Rachel heard ofanother neighborhood child who had gone missing, his name was Jack. Rachel reached out to his mother Janine and Florida Omni Search was born. It is on the activities of Florida Omni search that both of these novels are based. The first, Asylum Harbor, follows a somewhat torn from the headlines issue of young women going missing from cruse ships. The most recent, being Amber Knowles. He father is Governor of Florida and is about to announce his candidacy for President of the Untied states. An otherwise worldly and intelligent man, he agree that despite his circumstances, his seventeen year old daughter should be allowed to cruise to the Bahamas with two friends and just two parents as chaperones. Whose parents they were never became clear, as they were not the parents of Amber's two companions. They were also not doing much in the way of chaperoning. It was only after an extensive search of the ship by the two girls and some SeaStar staff that they became aware that Amber was missing. The next story Burn Out, involves a firefighter who has gone missing. Sam's mother gave Rachel the details that she could and the information that Sam was planning to leave her job as a firefighter. Her husband Ken had gotten mixed up in an unsavory situation and although Sam herself had been cleared, things were never the same for her. Both stories involve dark rooms and betrayal. There are several places where information is repetitive and the stories become tedious. The dialogue does not flow smoothly, nor does it hold your interest for long. Not recommended.
