About this listen
Life had been going swimmingly for literary phenomenon Alan Michaels: earth-spanning fame, a bank-stretching fortune, and a creative mind that seemed never to have churned out a bad idea.
But then, just as he was at the absolute peak of his powers, Alan was met with a horrific road accident. He was lent many a scar and scab, but that was not the worst of it; ever since—what with all the blackouts, headaches, and missing memories—his words fell on the page strangely and sickly, not at all as they used to: the genius in him was gone.
With his career at a standstill, a desperate Alan learns of a freshly-released convict: if the whispers were true, a dangerous yet interesting individual, keen on sharing tales of his killings with the world. A bulb lights up in Alan's head: he knows how he'd get his career back
When articles begin appearing in the papers, however, Alan realizes he's bitten off more than he could chew; they are a perfect match for the grizzly murder scenes that the strangely eloquent ex-convict paints for him. And what's more?
The bodies are far, far fresher than he'd first thought.

I enjoyed the narration of Geoffrey Boyes, who brings this thriller to your ears.
Alan finds he suffering from writers block , after a horrific road accident. He was left with scars but worse blackouts, headaches, and missing memories. Over hearing a conversation Alan hears of a freshly-released prisoner. If the rumours are true a dangerous individual. Who is very keen on sharing tales of his killings with the world. Alan believes telling the story will get his career back on track. It is not long before Alan realises he's bitten off more than he could chew. With fresh bodies and grizzly murder scenes can Alan right the story.

This is a thrilling debut novel from John Guinzey. It has a unique storyline and very well developed characters although I did find the children a little hard to believe in as they seemed very babyish for 2 20 something year olds. It is fast paced and edge of the seat listening once it gets going. It is a little gory in parts and therefore maybe not for those of a squeamish nature. Overall a highly recommended listen and I look forward to hearing more of John's work. Geoffrey Boyes's narration was spot on and brought the characters and story to life.
I was kindly given a copy of the book and leave this honest review.
