The Bride Collector

De: Ted Dekker

Narrado por: John Glover

FBI Special agent Brad Raines is facing his toughest case yet. A Denver serial killer has killed four beautiful young women, leaving a bridal veil at each crime scene, and he's picking up his pace. Unable to crack the case, Raines appeals for help from a most unusual source: residents of the Center for Wellness and Intelligence, a private psychiatric institution for mentally ill individuals whose are extraordinarily gifted.

It's there that he meets Paradise, a young woman who witnessed her father murder her family and barely escaped his hand. Diagnosed with schizophrenia, Paradise may also have an extrasensory gift: the ability to experience the final moments of a person's life when she touches the dead body.

In a desperate attempt to find the killer, Raines enlists Paradise's help. In an effort to win her trust, he befriends this strange young woman and begins to see in her qualities that most 'sane people' sorely lack. Gradually, he starts to question whether sanity resides outside the hospital walls . . . or inside.

As the Bride Collector picks up the pace-and volume-of his gruesome crucifixions, the case becomes even more personal to Raines when his friend and colleague, a beautiful young forensic psychologist, becomes the Bride Collector's next target.

The FBI believes that the killer plans to murder seven women. Can Paradise help before it's too late?

The Bride Collector

This is a great book. It was my first Dekker and will browse for more. He is a great story teller and a wonderful builder of characters. Narration is so important and Glover does it right! Highly recommend.

Very Interesting

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

I must admit that this started out a bit slow but got very exciting. The characters are great.

Have you listened to any of John Glover’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I haven't but I wasn't thrilled with his performance. It took a bit to get accustomed to his style.

Perspective

The interesting twist of perspective is just thrilling. From beginning to end there is a new perspective you take on.
