See all formats and editions

A baffling mystery sets an FBI agent on a dangerous path…

Park rangers are puzzled when a child is found wandering alone in the middle of a forest near Seattle.

Stranger still, he speaks a peculiar language that sounds a little like German, and is dressed in clothes people wore in the Middle Ages.

With no one having reported him missing, FBI Special Agent Will McCord assembles a dedicated unit to investigate the case, placing Detective Ilona Farris at its head.

Their relationship is edgy. They used to be an item. But McCord knows Farris is the best person for the job. Especially when more children turn up in similar circumstances.

Farris isn’t convinced that she is in fact the right person. Memories of a traumatic incident in her own childhood begin to emerge, and threaten to cloud her judgement.

Can she bury her demons and solve the mystery of these children, seemingly lost in time?

THE PIPER’S CHILDREN is an absorbing standalone thriller, packed with mind-blowing twists, and filled with incredible suspense. It is the first book in a captivating series about a special FBI unit focused on seemingly unsolvable crimes.

The second and third books, THE WHISTLER'S OMEN and THE STORM KILLINGS, are also FREE with Kindle Unlimited and available in paperback.

THE PIPER’S CHILDREN is a book you’ll want to race to the end of, but won’t want to finish. Beguiling, mysterious, and chilling, it will stay with you for a long time.

Also by Iain Henn, the thrillers DEAD SET ON MURDER and THE GREATEST BETRAYAL also on KU!.

So did I mention it's the FBI dealing with supernatural cases? Well they're supposed to be unsolvable cases but you think it's going to be a super natural book especially because Zach keeps trying to prove the children really did time travel from 17th century Germany. But the twist that John the normal consultant was actually behind everything is like but why? (Well we find out why you have to read book two that's all I'm going to say) so John kidnaps kids and he doesn't just kidnap regular kids he kidnaps German kids on vacation to the US to hypnotize them and then kidnaps them again just to give them back. Like John is seriously a messed up cookie and I'm not happy enough with what happened to him. I'm hoping for book three.

A solid, suspenseful read

I enjoyed this book and probably would have finished it in a day, if the Benadryl hadn't made me stop. The characters are believable, and the Piper has the criminal genius of Moriarty. His motivation and methods elevate him from "bad guy" to actual villain territory, which takes a deft hand. CW for child kidnapping, obviously, but there is no gore and a fairly minimal amount of actual violence..did guess his identity but there was just enough uncertainty to make me wonder. Overall, a solid, suspenseful read.

This was a novel that kept you in the dark about the details until they could no longer be hid...or could they? I guess you'll have to read it to find out. Interesting story line, for sure.

I loved the concept of this story, but was a bit disappointed with the execution. I had a difficult time tracking the dialogue when different characters were finishing each others sentences. The shift from first person for Ilona, and third for everyone else was also a little distracting. The imagery was really difficult for me to imagine. The cliff scenes towards the end were damn near impossible for me to see. The story itself was a really cool story, but I just had a hard time focusing on it. I wish there was more of a backstory for our characters, esp Ilona’s kidnapping, but overall I did enjoy the book.

This book was a little hard for me to get into. It was a slow burn, but entertaining once it picked up. I liked the character development and the story line. I was kind of hoping the supernatural element would be true.

Not What I Was Hoping For

Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2023

Verified Purchase

I just finished reading The Piper's Children and I have to say that it was not what I was hoping for. There were too many twists and "coincidences" to be believable. And where I thought the author was going to take this story, and hopefully the rest of the series, it didn't happen. I would have preferred a story and series leaning more towards the supernatural.

Fantastic stuff

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 27, 2024

I loved this book. It's one of those concepts that instantly grabs your attention - not least because of the implausibility of the premise - and sets the tone for a terrific crime novel.
I particularly liked the procedural parts - where we got to feel the thoughts, machinations, and frustrations of those doing the investigation.
This is a great read - I'm now well into book 2 in the series, The Whistler's Omen and (as with The Piper's Children) I am totally gripped.

FBI agent Ilona is brought in to help with a bizarre case: in Olympic National Park, (WA) a boy is found speaking in a Middle German accent, and dressed like a boy from the thirteenth century. He says he wants to return to his parents and his village. (Hamelin).
The FBI is baffled. Surely the boy cannot really think he has been taken by the Pied Piper and that he wants to go back to his home in Hamelin?
When more children are subsequently found, who also speak only Middle German and are found dressed in medieval clothing in the woods, they are faced with a mystery. The children are placed in a youth camp, but disappear again after a few days, apparently under the spell of a hypnotic song.

A fascinating mystery, albeit with a few caveats; however, they didn’t spoil the fun - another extremely original story from this writer. I really hope for more mysteries like this, and look forward to another story.

Good read. I would definitely recommend. I did sort of guess who the villain was though. Will probably read more in this series.

What an amazingly interesting book. Excellent characters portrayed realistically. Gripping story with a mythical mystical edge. Totally unexpected twists and a bad guy you will never guess the identity of. I hope there will be a follow up
