WOW what a thriller! A retired serial killer... his last victim... a book within a book... Catherine Ryan Howard hit it out of the park with this cleverly crafted story. The audiobook is narrated by Alana Kerr-Collins and John Keating both narrators brought another layer to this compelling story. The book is told from the perspective of both Jim (The serial killer) and Eve (the victim)so the dual narration really enhance the book. And bonus the book takes place in Ireland and the narrators have Irish accents, but they were super easy to understand (not tremendously thick accents but pleasant to the ear for sure).

   The book starts off with Jim working at a grocery store as security picking up a book called: The Nothing Man. The book is written by a victim of a serial killer named the Nothing Man by the media. Jim is agitated and rightly so because he is in fact the NOTHING MAN. Love spending time in the mind of crazy and Jim was one crazy SOB. He was also very paranoid that he was going to get caught, convinced Eve knew who he was. Eve was a great character, I loved her strength and her tenacity. Watching this compulsive story unfold was so much fun. It was just the perfect amount of tension, an addictive game of cat and mouse. I was on the edge of my seat and completely enthralled. I don’t often get scared in books, but there is a part of this book involving a bathtub and I was reading in the middle of the night, I seriously jumped. Thoughtful pacing and perfect narration this is one you won’t want to miss!
