About this listen

As the Third Reich ends, a killer’s game begins.

In the final days of the Third Reich, with the historic city of Dresden on the brink of destruction, terrifying rumors spread about the Fright Man, a demonic killer who exploited the cover of a nighttime air raid siren to mutilate and kill a young nurse. Just as seasoned detective Max Heller begins investigating, the Fright Man kills again...

The investigation seems hopeless. Desperate refugees flood the streets, all of Heller’s resources are depleted, and his new boss is a ruthless SS officer. And like so many others, Heller and his wife, Karin, survive on meager rations while fearing for the lives of their sons at the front. But as tensions mount and enemy firebombs decimate the city, dangerous new clues come to light - and the determined Heller pursues a violent and twisting path to unmask a monster.

Good story, slightly dodgy narration.

Thoroughly enjoyed the story, which is set in Dresden during the last 6 months of WW2. The book was originally published in German and the translation occasionally slips in some anachronistically modern idiom which, of course, sticks out like a sore thumb. But that's a minor irritant. I came close on 2 or 3 occasions to giving up on the book because of the shouty, over the top narration. I stuck with it for the sake of the story. Unlikely to listen to the other books in the series, but may read them on kindle instead.

I lasted 10 minutes

As soon as the American narrator put on a New York/New Jersey accent to give voice to the German characters I got out.... I got out fast!
I gave the story a neutral 3 stars because I didn’t.... couldn’t last the course with such terrible narration.
