Publisher's summary

At the age of 12, Eve Black was the only member of her family to survive an encounter with serial attacker the Nothing Man. Now an adult, she is obsessed with identifying the man who destroyed her life.

Supermarket security guard Jim Doyle has just started reading The Nothing Man - the true-crime memoir Eve has written about her efforts to track down her family’s killer. As he turns each page, his rage grows. Because Jim’s not just interested in reading about the Nothing Man. He is the Nothing Man.

Jim soon begins to realize how dangerously close Eve is getting to the truth. He knows she won’t give up until she finds him. He has no choice but to stop her first....

I really like Catherine Howard!

I discovered this author through the free books in audible plus & purchased 2 more.
The books are very well written & the narration makes them come to life. I have enjoyed her books very much!

Obsessed!

Catherine Howard is quickly becoming a new favorite author of mine!! Her style of story telling keeps you intrigued...and keeps you guessing. I am always anxious to keep listening and find out what happens next. There were many times when my heart was thumping and feeling anxious, as if I was watching a thriller on TV.
It's not just about the story line either, she weaves personality and character traits in so that the story seems personal and you become vested in the characters. The way she tells the same story from two perspectives throughout the book brings everything full circle, I was truly sad when 'Nothing Man' was over.
The narration was perfect as well, I don't think I could have enjoyed this book if it wasn't for the narrator.

Fast paced and engrossing

Fast paced plot, engrossing, and most important, none annoying narrators. Great combo for a great audible.

The Nothing Man

Excellent story and narration. Nice twists and turns. I like how he was reading his own story. I highly recommend this book.

Great Story!!

I don't usually write reviews, but I have to for this one! It felt almost like I was listening to a biography. The story is very compelling and it's one of those books that you don't want to end. What's the next chapter of her story... I guess I'll just have to make one up😊

Thoroughly and Utterly Engrossing

The Nothing Man was hard to pause. I consumed it in hours. A thoroughly engrossing book.
One of my favorites from Audible thus far.

Interesting twist

I found it to be an interesting read from the perspective of the survivor. It is not too graphic as one reviewer said.
