About this listen

From the co-host of chart-topping true crime podcast Morbid, a thrilling debut novel told from the dueling perspectives of a notorious serial killer and the medical examiner following where his trail of victims leads

Something dark is lurking in the Louisiana bayou: a methodical killer with a penchant for medical experimentation is hard at work completing his most harrowing crime yet, taunting the authorities who desperately try to catch up.

But forensic pathologist Dr. Wren Muller is the best there is. Armed with an encyclopedic knowledge of historical crimes, and years of experience working in the Medical Examiner's office, she's never encountered a case she couldn't solve. Until now. Case after case is piling up on Wren's examination table, and soon she is sucked into an all-consuming cat-and-mouse chase with a brutal murderer getting more brazen by the day.

An addictive listen with straight-from-the-morgue details only an autopsy technician could provide, The Butcher and the Wren promises to ensnare all who enter.

So many twists and turns I DID NOT see coming! Incredible first offering from a brilliant author who I hope writes many, many more. I’m a huge Morbid fan and almost didn’t want to buy the book in case it wasn’t great (Sorry, Alaina; Ash, please don’t come for me), but it was AMAZING!!!!!!!!! I listened in one sitting and will probably listen again now that I know how it turns out. Probably shouldn’t cuss in a review, so I’ll just say whaaa tha fuuuuu?!?!?! I’m obsessed 🖤🖤🖤

Sorry, gotta go, my Uber’s here 😱
