Publisher's summary

Second edition - approved by the author.

The Bluff City Butcher was once just an urban legend. Now a real monster has stepped out of the fog of a century-old mystery and thrown a midsouth community into unbridled terror. When world renowned forensic pathologist Dr. Elliott Sumner gets the call from the Butcher, he knows he's not dealing with just any serial killer. Not only is the BCB a genius and psychopath, he is the genetic recipient of a legendary mutation some would kill for.

Elliott's battle with his own inner demons could get in the way of stopping the very real monster. But will ending the reign of terror of the Bluff City Butcher solve the century-old mystery? Or will it put an end to the single greatest evolutionary leap for mankind?

Set aside time to binge read this book!

There are books we read for simple distraction, then there are the books that sweep you up and drop you into the story! Set aside time for this one, because you will not want to do anything else while you are “reading” this one! The character develop emend and scientific detail is fabulous! I love a good complex story. Though there is a lot of detail in this one, it’s put together in such a concise manner that the reader follows it effortlessly! It doesn’t take long for the narrator to become one with the natural reading “voice in the brain” and you almost forget it’s an audiobook! Overall great experience.

Very well written!

So, off the bat, I kept falling asleep with the narrator’s slow lilting voice. I then adjusted the speed of his narration and bingo!

I do believe I am becoming a fan of Mr Bradshaw. This is the second book I have listened to and I like his style. I can tell this author knows his stuff.

Well done to a great book! I shall definitely keep an eye out for you other books!

BCB

Let me start off by saying, I really enjoyed the book. I thought it was engaging, gory in the right ways, and I liked the twist at the end. But I had a hard time with some of the characters. There were too many and I forgot who was who! The narrator did a good job with the voice changes but after a while, they all started to sound the same.

I loved the story though. The antagonist was brutal in his killings and I know it sounds weird but, I liked the gruesomeness of them.

Overall, it was a good book and I would recommend it to anyone that likes crime stories.

Didn't enjoy it

I found the story very disjointed with so many parts that were supposed to come together in the end, and it failed. The beginning was very confusing and all mixed up, and it took too long to come together, that it lost most of the plot and excitement.
I did not enjoy this one very much, I kept looking forward to the end, so that things can make sense eventually.
