Michael Wood's “The Mind of a Murderer” is exquisitely presented with suspenseful storytelling. (Wood is a favorite of mine.) From the opening chapter, I was hooked, and Olivia Mace’s exceptional narration only added to the experience. Dr. Olivia Winter, a forensic psychologist, is complex and intriguing. Her dark past, marked by her father's brutal crimes, makes her uniquely qualified to understand the minds of serial killers. But as she delves into the latest murder investigation, she confronts her own demons. Wood's writing is impeccable, weaving intricate layers of tension and suspense. This mystery is relentlessly devious, with each twist and turn expertly brought to the forefront, leaving me craving more. And that’s exactly what I received, thank you very much. This cast of characters are multi-dimensional and well-developed, with Olivia being a standout. Her struggles to resolve her past and present are captivating, making her a most relatable character. Mace's narration is too-notch, bringing the characters to life with her expert precision and flair. Her tone and pacing perfectly complement the story, adding to the tension and non-stop suspense. Overall, “The Mind of a Murderer” is an audictive thriller that kept me listening late into the night. With its intricate plot, complexellent characters and exceptional narration, it's a must-listen. Epic, indeed! I’m already looking forward to Book 2 in the Olivia Winter series, “The Devil’s Code.” Mr. Wood, I’m hoping you’re planning Book 3.

I’d pre-ordered this, with some trepidation as I’d (somewhat unreasonably I admit) taken against in Michael Wood for killing off half my favourite characters in another series (I DID say I was being unreasonable!) Anyway, I decided I’d get over myself and give his new series a go.

Having done so I have so many nitpicking niggles with it, with Olivia herself as a character, with her practice, the sex scenes …but basically it’s an ok book, overwritten and far too long, but ok. I didn’t love it and I don’t think I’ll be reading the second in the series, I certainly won’t be pre-ordering it. I realise I’m not being overly detailed about why it wasn’t for me, but I don’t want to leave spoilers.

The narration however was great. I had to speed it up just to get through it, but that wasn’t down to the narrator, just the length of the book and my desire to get through it.

It was fine.
