Don't Turn Around

De: Harry Dolan

Narrado por: George Newbern

The police call him Merkury. He's a killer who seems to choose his victims at random. He leaves no evidence behind, and no witnesses. Except for one. But what did she really see?

When Kate Summerlin was eleven years old, she climbed out her bedroom window on a spring night, looking for a taste of freedom in the small college town where she was living with her parents. But what she found as she wandered in the woods near her house was something else: the body of a beautiful young woman, the first of Merkury's victims. And before she could come to grips with what she was seeing, she heard a voice behind her—the killer's voice—saying: "Don't turn around."

Now, at the age of twenty-nine, Kate is a successful true crime writer, but she has never told anyone the truth about what happened on that long-ago night. When Merkury claims yet another victim—a college student named Bryan Cayhill—Kate finds herself drawn back to the town where everything started. She sets out to make sense of this latest crime, but the deeper she gets into the story, the more she comes to realize that it's far from over. Her search for the truth about Merkury is leading her down into a dark labyrinth, and if she hopes to escape, she'll have to meet him once again—this time face to face.

So good!

Loved the suspense! I highly recommend this book! I want to read it again now!

Main Female Lead...

...is awesome. This was a great story, had me guessing along the way. Didn't solve it before the reveal, always a excellent indicator of a great mystery/crime novel. Would happily recommend.

Great Plot Twist

This was one of the best books I’ve listened to lately that has kept me guessing. Highly recommend if you like suspense!

one of the best books by Harry Dolan

I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook. there was significant character development, novel plot twists, mounting tension with a few driveway moments. Mr Dolan has developed his craft significantly over the course of his writing career. I look forward to his next book.

absolutely great story…

the book does begin slowly but it’s also like it lures you into a comfortable feeling…that moment before you realize someone is in the room with you. once the action starts to break, the suspense still starts to build…several red herrings and a few plot twists later, you hear the unthinkable. while I would love for a little more in the ending the book leaves you as it starts…comfortable but now aware that at any point you could be vulnerable. George Newbern is my favorite narrator and I believe I bought this on a deal of the day only beca he narrated the book. while I new the performance would be great, I am glad the book lived up to…

Slow and Boring

I kept listening to this book, hoping it would get better, it did after about five hours, the problem is, it was still a terribly boring book with a bad ending . I kept waiting for some twists or something exciting to happen.

Wrong narrator; bored to death

I enjoyed other Harry Dolan books so I didn’t hesitate to use a credit for this. I’ve tried listening twice, but it’s painfully bad. The reader is completely wrong for this book. Every character sounds the same. He makes them all unlikable. And why a male? Bad editing adds to the problem. There are no pauses to indicate character or scene changes. I give up. Waste of a credit.
