Thank you to NetGalley for this free copy in exchange for an honest review. The complexities of assisted suicide and societal approaches surrounding it seemed an interesting topic to broach in Exit; the notion of the Exiteers showed promise and I enjoyed the initial set-up for the story, however I couldn’t find myself connecting to the characters (despite obvious attempts at grace notes to endear the reader to them) and felt any exploration at complexities was superficial and bland. Maybe just a miss for me as I see plenty of people enjoying this book but I felt no compulsion to finish and no satisfaction when I did!

The pacing of this story was soooooo freaking slow. At times I drifted off (while listening to the audio) only to find not much progress had been made in the story. But, this was a good story and if you can stick with it I think you’ll enjoy it!

This book about about the Existeer called Felix who is seventy five. His job is to look after people who are terminally ill when they are dying, they support people to pass away without feeling fear of pain. The group started up because people with terminal illness couldn’t afford to go to Switzerland to end their pain. The book starts when Felix and a fellow colleague are helping a client. They have to be careful with what they are doing because authorities may think they are assisting with people dying. Although, their job is not illegal because they are not encouraging their clients to want to die, they are merely supporting people who want to die. They are there to make sure people do not die on their own.
Felix has a new partner and they head off to their first client together. After the death everything is going smoothly until they hear a noise in a different room and realise they they helped to kill the wrong man.
After reading the first page I was hooked. The detail is this book is incredible, it made me feel like I knew Felix. I really felt sorry for Felix when he described his relationship with his wife and son who had previously passed away.
I loved learning about Calvin, the police officer looking at the case. It was good to get a view of both sides of the story and learning about what happened.
I was so happy to receive this ebook from Netgalley, Belinda Bauer’s book, Snap, was incredible and this book followed in its footsteps. As always the writing in this book was phenomenal, I will always enjoy a Bauer book. 5/5 stars.
