About this listen

A serial killer is loose on the streets of New York,
chased by a detective whose mutated eyes
see things only she can....

Shutter Island meets Jacob’s Ladder in the new near-future crime thriller from million-copy best seller Matthew Mather, with books translated in over 20 languages worldwide.

“Relentless pacing, well-developed main characters, and plethora of bombshell plot twists.” (Publishers Weekly)

After a near-fatal car crash, Royce wakes up to find he’s one of the first patients to undergo a radical new procedure: a full-body transplant. Convalescing and suffering from waking nightmares, he answers the door at his Long Island home and meets Delta Devlin, a New York detective. She sees things nobody else can, visions created by a mutation to her eyes.

Royce becomes Devlin’s prime suspect in a string of grisly murders. Desperate for answers, he tracks down the grieving widow of the man whose body he now inhabits. Out of time, and perhaps his mind, he tumbles through a hallucinogenic underworld of black-market body parts and billionaires where nothing can stand in the way of living forever - not even death itself.

Ok. So the author seems to be able to put words on the page is a pleasing enough way. But his plotting is awful and premise tremendously convoluted.

The male narrator does a good job of narration and characterisations, however the female narrator has very poor characterisations and often seems to read commas as full stops, making her general narration a chore to listen to.

This is strictly airport novel type stuff. Quick enough listen but with plot threads dangling all over the place and major plot holes in the ones that were tied off.

Would listen to the make narrator again. Would not listen to or read another book by this author again.

The female narrator is awful
