About this listen
Could you give your life to save someone else?
Imprisoned for the attempted murder of a federal agent, Gabe Quinn is keen to make amends for his mistakes - so when a gruesome murder forces his freedom, he is determined to do everything in his power to bring the killer to justice and prove himself to the FBI.
But the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and the killer has something else in mind for Gabe Quinn, something that will raze everything he loves to the ground. Drawn into a desperate chase against the killer's deadline, Gabe is forced to stand accountable for the decisions of his past and the real possibility that he might not live to have a future.
One man is on the hunt....
One man intends to take his liberty....
Only one will succeed....
Author note: The back story in Taking Liberty continues from the first two books, Killing Hope and Crossing Lines. To enjoy the whole experience as intended, I recommend listening to the Gabe Quinn Thrillers series in numerological order.

Florida homicide detective Maggie Novak has seen hundreds of brutal murder cases, but when she is called out to investigate the charred remains of a young woman, in what appears to be a Halloween prank gone wrong, she is confronted with a twenty-year-old secret. The body is formally identified as that of school counselor Dana Cullen, but a distinguishing mark makes Maggie look again. She believes it is the body of her school friend Rita, who perished in a fire twenty years ago. Maggie’s hunt for the truth behind the murder takes her back to a cruel high school trick.

At first, they struggle to escape. Then a torrent of blows rains down upon their bodies until their eyes cloud over in final agony. The killer shows no remorse - just a twisted need to witness each victim's last terrified moments. Public defender Rachel Wainwright is struggling to reopen a decades-old case, convinced that the wrong man is in prison. Homicide detective Deke Morgan doesn't want to agree. But if Rachel's hunch is correct, whoever fatally bludgeoned young, beautiful Annie Dawson 30 years ago could be the source of a new string of brutal slayings.

The ending will leave you breathless...
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. It happens to be a really good book. Lots of convoluted psychotic relationships, great character development and interesting plot that is believable.
What does David Doersch bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
After listening to three Gabe Quinn books narrated by David Doersch, he IS the voice of Quinn. I hope he will continue to narrate these books.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
THE END! And WOW what an ending it is!
Any additional comments?
I would suggest reading/listening to the first two books prior to this one as the characters build on the previous books and although some background is given on familial and other relationships I can see where this book could get confusing without. The first two are excellent books also, each ending with a cliff hanger that will leave you wanting more. This book however has an ending that leaves you absolutely dumbstruck!! I cannot wait for the next book and can only imagine how Keith Houghton could possibly top this one. Very talented author. I Highly Recommend this book.
Thank You for reading this and if you find it helpful please let me know. I like letting other people know if I think a book is worthwhile and I certainly purchase many based on reviews by others.

Author Keith Houghton has an abnormal brain!
I've now listened to all five Keith Houghton novels including the three in the Gabe Quinn series and the two stand alone novels, No Coming Back and Before You Leap. All five novels are likely best described as psychological thrillers although the Gabe Quinn series are also police procedurals or modern detective. Houghton has the ability to make the unbelievable seem believable and to build suspense to an incredible level. It is a wonderful talent that likely could no be pulled off by authors by "normally wired" brains. I gave four of the five Houghton novels 5 stars, so his writing obviously appeals to me.

What?
I couldn’t put it down, and then to be left without a sequel… I can’t stand it! I’m so caught up with the protagonist I feel as
though I’m losing a friend. He has plenty of faults, yet his conscience keeps him in control. Will there be #4?

Loved all the twist and turns. So many surprises. And the ending was perfect. Would recommend. I live in Springfield, Mo so it was cool to hear the references to this place, the Fed Med and even street names.

What can I say? This Gabe Quinn is an outstanding character. He goes through so many ups and downs twists and turns I'm finding that I can't wait to see what life is going to throw at him next. Things are not always what they seem and I love it.
