Publisher's summary

Felix Pink is retired. Widowed for more than a decade and a painfully literal thinker, he has led a life of routine and is, not unhappily, waiting to die a hopefully boring death. He occupies himself volunteering as an Exiteer - someone who sits with terminally ill people as they die by suicide, assisting with logistics and lending moral support, then removing the evidence so that family and friends are not implicated in the death. When Felix lets himself into Number 3 Black Lane, he’s there to perform an act of kindness and charity: to keep a dying man company as he takes his final breath.

But just 15 minutes later, Felix is on the run from the police - after making the biggest mistake of his life. Now his routine world is turned upside down as he tries to discover whether what went wrong was a simple mistake - or deliberate, a murder.

With a novel that is part murder-mystery, part coming-of-old-age story - however short that future may be - Belinda Bauer continues to redefine the boundaries of crime fiction. With the compassion and dark humor of Jonas Jonasson and the twisted thriller plotting of Rear Window, Exit is a novel listeners will not soon forget.

Charming End of Life Stuff

A clever, twisty story line keeps the listener engaged. Can a story about assisted suicide be charming? Perhaps that's too overstated, but as the story unfolds, the listeners heart is pulled into discussion.

I listened at 1.3 speed as the narration was a bit slow for me.

Loved it!

What a beautifully written, sad, funny, and totally compelling book! You will love these characters (some of them) and will be surprised by the plot twists. I lol many times and even wiped away a tear or two. Excellent narration. The subject matter seemed a bit dark and I almost hesitated to purchase this one, but am so happy that I did! Loved every minute of it.

Clever plot

A book about suffering is overdue. We should be able to end our lives with dignity.

Even so the author made her case in an unusual way.

Sympathetic study on death with dignity

With this book, I discovered Belinda Bauer and will be looking for her other titles. Surprising plot twists and loveable characters in a thoroughly enjoyable read. Rupert Degas's voice characterizations are brilliant. Highly recommend!

What a surprise!

I didn’t really know what to expect when I purchased this book, but it was fantastic. I listen to a book a day, and this tops any I’ve listened to in awhile. Well done! Worth the credit.
