The Burial Society

A Novel

De: Nina Sadowsky

Narrado por: Lauren Fortgang, Eva Kaminsky

A woman running from a dark past stumbles upon a tangled nest of seductions and secrets in this psychological thriller of obsession and betrayal.

Catherine, no last name, doesn’t bury the dead. She rescues the living—from intolerable, abusive, dangerous lives. Her darknet-based witness protection program, the Burial Society, is the last hope for people who desperately need to disappear. Catherine takes care of them and provides new identities. She is effective and efficient—until she discovers that her slipup may have compromised a client, maybe even killed her. Powerless to help without exposing her shadowy profession, Catherine makes a drastic move.

With her covert service relocated to Paris, Catherine’s done her best to move on. But when a dark part of her past suddenly appears in the City of Light, she refuses to run—and her life takes a harrowing turn.

Using all the tricks of her unusual trade, Catherine weaves her way through a dangerous landscape of treachery, infidelity, paranoia, and secrets that bind as deeply as blood. But the evil of the enemy she’s pursuing runs deeper still—to the bone. And even Catherine’s most cunning skills may not be enough to save herself.

Great story! Kept me guessing....

But some of the narriation was predictable and boring. And the parts that the author left out was disappointing. Why was she so into the family? What was her background story? The reader had a right to know so I felt betrayed

Audible "page-turner"

Would you listen to The Burial Society again? Why?

Couldn't "put it down" - a really good and enjoyable listen - plowed through it fast - catchy story. Hope it's the first in the series...

What other book might you compare The Burial Society to and why?

Has a similar feel to Girl on the Train, but doesn't take itself so seriously.

Boring!

Writing was not creative and boring plot that dragged on. As a lover of all types of mysteries and thrillers, it’s very, very rare for me to be so disinterested as to not finish a book. I did not finish this book. Listened to more than half of it. I should have quit earlier. Narration was forced and overly dramatic.
