By: J.F. Kirwan

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

If you want to catch a serial killer, you need to think like one.

“An extremely gripping and fast-paced crime thriller . . . will draw you in from the very start [and] blindside you with disturbing twists and turns.” —The Eclectic Review

Greg Adams, a criminal psychologist at Scotland Yard, specialises in bringing serial killers to justice. He is at the top of his game, having just put away his sixth serial killer when his wife, Kate, is brutally murdered by another predator known as the Dreamer.

A year later, unable to bring the killer to justice, Greg has quit his job and is ready to end it all, when he receives a phone call from a man who tells him the Dreamer is dead, and that he didn’t kill Kate. Greg returns to Scotland Yard to work for Superintendent Chief Detective Donaldson in the hope he can re-examine the case with the help of two new detectives.
As Greg delves into the case further, he becomes more convinced that the Dreamer wasn’t the man responsible for his wife’s murder.

But if it wasn’t The Dreamer, who was it?

In order to solve the mystery around his wife’s murder, Greg is going to have to delve even deeper into the mind of a terrifying psychopath. And this time he might not make it back in one piece...

“Packed full of action and there is never a dull moment. It’s easy to pick up but impossible to put down once you are in the thick of the narrative and dying to know what happens next.” —ReviewsFeed

Good storyline

The ending for me was disappointing. I wanted it to last another chapter to elaborate on the ending more.

Virtual voice is monotonous and boring.

It was really hard to stay with still story. Virtual voice narrated books never change pitch like it’s it’s a woman that’s supposed to be talking. I’m still not sure who was good and who was bad.

Good story

The twist at the end the story has a
Good plot
But at first the virtual voice was irritating because it paused after each sentence instead of just reading the story

ATROCIOUS narration

The generated narration was terrible! The intonation was all wrong and there were lots of mispronunciations. very distracting. these books should have real human voice actors
