Based on the bestselling Audible Original by Anthony Khaseria, THE RATCATCHER is a thrilling police drama for fans of Joy Ellis and Michael Wood.

It's been twelve weeks since Dresden Commissioner Paula Beyer was sent to the small town of Freidorf to investigate the disappearance of several teenagers. Now she is sitting opposite a psychologist who is tasked with figuring out whether Paula's statements about the case are true, or whether she needs to be suspended until further notice. While Paula believes that the young people were kidnapped by someone mimicking the legend of the Pied Piper of Hamelin, her colleagues believe that Paula is indulging in a fantasy and endangering the investigation.

If Paula wants to stop the perpetrator, she has to convince the psychologist of her version of the story. But the longer the conversation goes on, the more Paula doubts herself…

Thanks to Dolby Atmos, it was a good experience overall. The story being full of unexpected twists and turns heightened the experience further.
However, I wish it had concluded on a high note and that we had received full closure as listeners. In the end, all I could think of was "Okay...so what was the point of it all?"
The accents were a constant source of pain for me. Everyone had different accents from the UK, even though the story was clearly set in Germany. Because an audio medium expects its audience to primarily use their own imagination, the makers need to be more mindful of such detailing. Lack of it only serves to obstruct the listeners from fully engaging with the context that the story is trying to provide.

Immersive experience but underwhelming ending

A great story well told…. Butttt I hope there’s a sequel somewhere to find out what happened and how it finishes?

I wasn’t expecting that..

A great listen. I agree that the accents were off putting, as it was obviously set in Germany. It felt like I was listening to an episode of “Vera”.
But that point aside, it was very engaging. Can’t wait for a sequel! I just learnt hat their are two more audio books - but both still in German.,

Lots of twists and turns

Intriguing Police Procedural, story based around The Pied Piper Hamelin fairy tale.

Throw in a young female officer recovering from the trauma of the losing of her child, and having to cope with her mental health issues as well as the slight “ boy’s network “ in the station, and you have the groundwork for a suspenseful, at times heartbreaking story…
With a kick A** twist at the end

Excellent Immersive Storytelling at its Best!
