🎧 Book Review 🎧 This one was tough to wait for but so worth it! If you read the first novel, then you are already invested in the characters and the storyline and this book is absolutely as gripping as The Butcher and the Wren. Alaina Urquhart beautifully transports the reader to New Orleans, a city I miss calling home, in a flawlessly delightful and vibrant tone, again bringing the Big Easy to life in the pages of The Butcher Game. And while I cannot speak to her accuracy when writing in the mind of a serial killer, a chill resonates throughout the book as the hunt for The Bayou Butcher continues. Sophie Amoss and Joe Knezevich bring this atmospheric book to life, creating the most suspenseful game of cat and mouse that the reader simply will not be able to put down. And while I am not one for patiently waiting again, I am so happy to watch this nail biting series continue to unfold!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Despite not having read the first book in this series, I did enjoy this one. It was pretty fast paced, engaging and entertaining. I do wish I would have read the first book only to have been more invested in the characters but this is still really well done and you can surmise what happened in the initial story. Books about serial killers will always be on the top of my TBR and if you are like me, this one will be a great read for you!

The audiobook narration by Sophie Amoss and Joe Knezevich is done well.
