About this listen

A brutal triple murder. An abandoned psychiatric hospital. And a dark family secret.

Fatal Return is the bloody opening to the Fatal psychological thriller series by Alex Hansen - an Audible Original.

When her father suffers a heart attack, forensic psychologist Gilian moves back from New York to Rochester - much to the annoyance of her pubescent daughter Christina. The moving boxes are not even unpacked when the expert is already called to a crime scene: Sergeant Ryan Moore needs her support to solve a brutal triple murder in the woods of Devil's Bathtub. The joint investigation reopens an old wound in Gilian - for the two workaholics are bound by more than just their unwavering sense of justice.

I thought this was going to turn out to be your average, run-of-the-mill thriller. I’m usually pretty good at guessing who-dun-it. Not this time. Maybe I’m getting slow in my old age but I could not guess who the villain was until very near the end. Not bad for something I thought would be just “average”. Not bad at all. Really loved the main character- the forensic psychologist too.

Great twists and turns

The story was quite interesting despite an extremely annoying teenager. But the narrator really butchered the delivery,

Painful Narration
