Theodore Nash: The Vampire Killer

By: Ashley Carvel

Narrated by: Peter McGiffen

THE VAMPIRE KILLER
A psychological crime thriller set in wartime Hounslow, 1943

London, 1943. The streets of Hounslow hide more than ration books and blackouts. A killer is working to a quiet rhythm of death, leaving behind bodies drained of blood and arranged with disturbing care. The press have their theories. The police have few leads.

Theodore Nash doesn’t believe in monsters. He sees detail, intent, and the human mind behind every crime. A forensic consultant by trade, and a man more comfortable with puzzles than people, Theo has made a life of distance and control.

But this case will demand more.

For the first time in years, friendships forming. A fragile career is taking shape. And an unexpected relationship is beginning to grow, pulling Theo into the very connections he has always avoided.

As the murders continue, the evidence reveals a chilling countdown, one that draws closer to someone Theo cares about. Every deduction matters now. Every decision could save a life.

Balancing loyalty, career, and his first taste of love, Theo must race against time to catch a killer who always seems one step ahead.

The question is whether his heart will be the edge that sharpens his mind… or the weakness that brings it all crashing down.

Thriller

Theodore Nash: The Vampire Killer by Ashley Carvel is an amazing historical crime thriller. Peter McGiffen did an incredible job with the narration. The story is interesting, thrilling, and more. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Theodore Nash: The Vampire Killer

I enjoyed listening to this story, the characters are interesting and their tale kept my interest until the end.

The narration was good.

good short story

this story had a lot of details and was told like a old story from maybe england

A good listen

An interesting and enjoyable listen that kept my attention throughout. While it wasn’t exactly edge-of-your-seat suspense, the story moved along at a good pace and held my interest. It offered a twist with a vampire-‘like’ murderer rather than actual vampires.
