De: Craig Clevenger

Narrado por: Greg Lockett

A compelling literary crime that follows the son of a serial murderer who changes his identity in a bid to escape his past.

Sixteen-year-old Lyle Edison recognizes the face of a murder victim on the nightly news–the waitress at his local diner. A place he often frequented with his dad. The following day, his father is arrested and charged with her murder. And then, eight further bodies are discovered.

Following the revelation that his dad is a serial killer, Lyle is outcast and shunned. Forced to abandon his family, illegally obtaining a new identity, he moves away to start all over again.

Some years later, Lyle thinks he has finally moved on. But after several brushes with the law, Lyle’s past eventually catches up to him when a mysterious stranger known only as Icarus shows up and seems to know Lyle’s secret....

Not for me

Too strange Just not my cup of tea. I kept waiting for something to click It didn’t.

just ended, no purpose

Just kept waiting to get blown away and story just ended. such a waste of time

Interesting but…

Had trouble getting into it at first then I was immersed in the story. Ending left me wanting. Author is a really talented writer, but as a reader I don’t like to be left hanging. Don’t mind done things open ended but this didn’t do it for me.

I didn’t want it to end…

But then it did. Abruptly. This was a very engrossing story, and I like the voice performances that really brought the characters to life. And then just when it seemed the storylines would finally tie together — nothing. The end.

Great performance, weird story

I almost stopped listening when the father son interaction happened. Now that I’ve finished it, I wish I had stopped. Very disappointed that I wasted my time and money on this one.
