The Butcher and the Wren by Alaina Urquhart
4.0
I love Morbid and I love true crime but I don’t listen (or read) to horror or true crime often unless it’s a podcast during work hours. So I went into this with an open mind and was pleasantly surprised by how the audiobook flowed.
The story itself revolves around Jeremy, The Bayou Butcher and Wren, a forensic pathologist who is helping the police with these horrific murders. Jeremy doesn’t have a lot of back story at this moment and I hope that the sequel will dive into him as a person. He was definitely interesting and one step ahead of everyone at every turn. Wren is an overworked and tired forensic pathologist with a past that puts her directly in Jeremy’s path. And she has to figure out what’s going on before it’s too late.
I saw that some of the complaints were choppy sentences, but with the audiobook that choppiness isn’t there. It read very well and the story itself kept my attention throughout. It wasn’t predictable either which was a huge plus for me. I don’t like figuring out what’s going on halfway through and this had the perfect twist right in the middle. It’s definitely worth an audiobook listen!
