"While technically fragile, the wren outwits its underprepared predator to come out on top when threatened."
───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────
This was not bad! Thrillers tend to be hit or miss for me, but I am a fan of true crime and Morbid was one of the first podcasts I ever binged and though I haven't listened to Ash and Alaina for quite some time I knew I wanted to read The Butcher and the Wren.
While this story wasn't as gripping as some of the thrillers I've read in the past, the short chapters made it fly by, and I was compelled enough that it kept me interested the whole time (which is saying something considering I listen to books while I work, which can be distracting).
I don't know if I would continue the series if she were to write more, but this was worth the listen for me! The audiobook narrators did a great job in keeping me rooted in the game of cat and mouse between the Butcher and Wren.
