About this listen

A history lesson they’ll never forget … and neither will you.

Mattie Engel is one of the rising stars at Private Berlin, and believes she’s seen the worst of people in her previous life with the Berlin police force. That is until Chris, her colleague – and until recently, her fiancé – is found dead, brutally murdered in an old slaughterhouse outside the city.

The slaughterhouse is filled with bodies. But just as Private begin their investigations, the building explodes, wiping out all evidence of the crimes, and nearly killing Mattie and her team.

Mattie soon realises that a masked killer is picking off Chris’s childhood friends, one by one, and destroying the trail. But who wants the past buried so badly? What is the truth about that slaughterhouse? And will Mattie become the killer’s next victim?

This was a story that I wanted to return several times but became obsessed with wanting to find out what would happen. I’m glad to have persevered. Although dark, it is possibly the best of all the Private series I’ve listened to so far. And that’s saying a lot, as they apart from one, are a testament of superb storytelling.
The story is a psychological barrage and I’m left with a greater appreciation of Berlin and the Berlin Wall. In a way, this story is fitting for a truely horrendous time in the life of both East and West Germans. Thanks Audio. The use of two voices was pure genius.

Dark but worth persevering.
