About this listen

When the story ends, the hunt begins.

Jessica Niemi is drawn into a high-profile investigation after the wife of a famous author, Roger Koponen, is killed in a bizarre ritual. As more twisted murders occur in the coming days, it becomes obvious that Jessica is hunting a serial killer - one that is taking brutal inspiration from Koponen’s best-selling trilogy. Has a devoted fan lost their mind, or is this case more personal?

Nobody is safe in this roller-coaster thriller from award-winning author Max Seeck.

Critic reviews

“Everything I wish for in a thriller...I loved this book.” (Chris Mooney, best-selling author of The Missing)
All stars

I really enjoyed this. incredibly far fetched and ridiculous but that's quite fun. I liked the characters and the plot and the settings.

The narrator was excellent except for one minor issue, many of the sentences start with a character name and regardless of the name the narrator would use the same intonation every single time and it got on my nerves quite lot. This is a very minor complaint though and she did a really good job on the book.

Loved the two stories unfolding, interesting characters and storyline, will listen to more from this writer.

Great writing and narration.

Good book and engaging storyline. Unfortunately the blocked/nasal voice of Em was annoying and ruined the flow of the narration. I had to fast forward these parts. Narration can make or break book and blocked/nasal voices can be very jarring.

Overall a good book

A female protagonist , a gruesome murder mystery involving some occult, witchy goings on set against the ice cold streets of Helsinki. The storyline is very diverse and a little difficult to follow in parts, but nevertheless enjoyable.

Enjoyable Thriller

I had read mixed reviews of this book before buying and I'm glad I ignored the negative ones, I really enjoyed it, it had a feel of Ruth Ware story telling about it, so if you don't like her style, then avoid this, but if you enoy a good yarn, then this might be for you.

The weird interludes in Venice were a bit confusing at first but all becomes clear in time, and the ending, which many have complained about, is perfectly fine, I rather enjoyed the ending.

All in all I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a fully immersive story with many characters all interlacing through time and place, it's fabulous.

If you’re looking for a Nordic noir type of book, that’s not it… The most clumsy investigation of a most unlikely crimes, topped with a tragic Italian romance story.

Naive
