About this listen
For Commandant Verhoeven life is beautiful: he is happily married, expecting his first child with the lovely Irène.
But his blissful existence is punctured by a murder of unprecedented savagery. Worse still, the press seem to have it in for him - his every move is headline news. When he discovers that the killer has killed before - that each murder is a homage to a classic crime novel - the fourth estate are quick to coin a nickname: The Novelist.
With both men in the public eye, the case develops into a personal duel, each hell-bent on outsmarting the other. There can only be one winner - whoever has the least to lose.

I struggled a bit to get in to the book. It gets better, and the story is good. But if it weren’t for the fact that I have heard great things about the next book Alex, I probably wouldn’t finish this one
Good story, just ok narrator

Any additional comments?
I've just listened to all 3 books from this author. And the narrator chosen kills book 1 and 3, where as Alex has a good narrator.The narrator kills the book!

I'd already listened to Alex (accidentally misreading the order these books were written in) so knew the outcome already. But still wished Irene to be saved. This book has character voices whilst Alex does not - I preferred the later performance.
Will move onto book 3 with anxious anticipation
Horrifying and compulsive
