The Killing Lessons

A Novel

De: Saul Black

Narrado por: Christina Delaine

When the two strangers turn up at Rowena Cooper's isolated Colorado farmhouse, she knows instantly that it's the end of everything. For the two haunted and driven men, on the other hand, it's just another stop on a long and bloody journey. And they still have many miles to go, and victims to sacrifice, before their work is done.
For San Francisco homicide detective Valerie Hart, their trail of victims—women abducted, tortured and left with a seemingly random series of objects inside them—has brought her from obsession to the edge of physical and psychological destruction. And she's losing hope of making a breakthrough before that happens.
But the murders at the Cooper farmhouse didn't quite go according to plan. There was a survivor, Rowena's ten-year-old daughter Nell, who now holds the key to the killings. Injured, half-frozen, terrified, Nell has only one place to go. And that place could be even more dangerous than what she's running from.
In this extraordinary, pulse-pounding debut, Saul Black takes us deep into the mind of a psychopath, and into the troubled heart of the woman determined to stop him.

One of the BEST!!

This book was AMAZING!! Right up there with the Silence of the Lambs. The characters are so well developed…the author really dug deep into every character’s psyche and what makes them tick. The plot was intriguing & captivating throughout the entire book. This was by far one of the, if not the best, psychological thrillers I’ve ever read!! Highly, highly recommend!!

One of the best serial killer novels

Author was super descriptive and graphic up to the most finite detail. Didn't leave any gruesome stone unturned.

Amazing

This story is intriguing and captivating from page 1. I learned quickly to pay attention to the author’s details as the story unfolds. This is my first Saul Black book. It will not be the last. I highly recommend this book

Good story

I enjoyed the story very much. I began to be annoyed by the performance as the reader used the whispered technic way too often. It is very affective when used at appropriate times. When overused it is simply annoying.

Great book!

This was a great listen! It was full of suspense and just a great story that held my attention. It is worth the money/ credit.
