About this listen
When a woman is beheaded in a park outside Rome and her six-year-old son goes missing, the police unit assigned to the case sees an easy solution: they arrest the woman’s husband and await his confession. But the Chief of Rome’s Major Crimes unit doubts things are so simple. Secretly, he lures to the case two of Italy’s top analytical minds: Deputy Captain Colomba Caselli, a fierce, warrior-like detective still reeling from having survived a bloody catastrophe, and Dante Torre, a man who spent his childhood trapped inside a concrete silo. Fed through the gloved hand of a masked kidnapper who called himself 'The Father', Dante emerged from his ordeal with crippling claustrophobia but, also, with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and hyper-observant capacities.
All evidence suggests that 'The Father' is back and active after being dormant for decades. But when Columba and Dante begin following the ever-more-bizarre trail of clues, they grasp that what’s really going on is darker than they ever imagined.
Kill the Angel, the sequel to Kill the Father, publishes in May 2018.

Interminable.
I thought this book was never going to end. I found the narrator’s characterisation of Columba to be insipid and I just couldn’t relate to her at all. The story had so much promise but it was so long and drawn out. I found myself looking for excuses not to listen when I’m usually engrossed from start to finish. My nonexistent knowledge of the Italian police force and legal system probably didn’t help. I won’t be listening to more from this author.

Great
Classy thriller with lots to it - never bored me once and lots of unpredictable moments and events which kept it fresh. A fairly deep look at trauma in some ways as well, which is refreshing compared with books where people seem to suffer appallingly and bounce back with a few sleepless nights and a booze problem.

Fantastic
Gripping. Just couldn't stop listening. So many twists and turns. Some gory scenes. But so well written and performed. Checking out more by Sandrone Dazieri right now for the next binge listen.

Complex story, good translation
I got about half way through this book and thought it was the end only to be surprised by more twists and turns. Some of the connections seemed unlikely but the story moved along and the narrator did a good job, making the story acceptable even if one is not familiar with Italy and the way the Italian police and judicial system work. It is both a whoddunit and whydunnit. Good for a long journey or walk...

Needs a different narrator
This was a brilliant story and if I had read the book I would have loved it. But for me it was totally spoilt by the thick American accent that faltered to pronounce the Italian names and words. If it had been read by someone with a soft Italian accent it would have been amazing. I struggled to listen to it because everytime she said something Italian it sounded forced and jarring. And as there is an Italian name in almost every sentence it was hard going!!!

First rate Audible!
The story, the characters and the narration made this, for me, a five star listen and that is very rare. This was my first Sandrone Dazieri and I look forward to the next with great anticipation.
