About this listen

Based on the bestselling Audible Original by Anthony Khaseria, THE RATCATCHER is a thrilling police drama for fans of Joy Ellis and Michael Wood.

It's been twelve weeks since Dresden Commissioner Paula Beyer was sent to the small town of Freidorf to investigate the disappearance of several teenagers. Now she is sitting opposite a psychologist who is tasked with figuring out whether Paula's statements about the case are true, or whether she needs to be suspended until further notice. While Paula believes that the young people were kidnapped by someone mimicking the legend of the Pied Piper of Hamelin, her colleagues believe that Paula is indulging in a fantasy and endangering the investigation.

If Paula wants to stop the perpetrator, she has to convince the psychologist of her version of the story. But the longer the conversation goes on, the more Paula doubts herself…

Ending???

Story was great, however wth with the ending?! I'm listening and then boom, it's over! Just ended, when clearly there should be more! I'm disappointed. It literally ended abruptly.

Very Intriguing Story

I actually enjoyed this and the whole premise. I thought it was leading up to a different type of ending but the ending that it did have was pretty good though more predictable and one I've read before in other similar stories. But it was an enjoyable read, the narrators were all really good. I believe it is worth the listen for sure.

This story had me on the edge of my seat the entire time!

Great plot. Pulled me in and I couldn’t stop listening. I highly recommend to give it a chance. You won’t be disappointed in this suspenseful crime thriller. You like plot twists? This has plenty of them. As for people complaining about the ending, I think the ending was perfect for this story. It does leave it open to possibly having a sequel in the future but doesn’t mean it needs one. Now stop reading this review and get started on listening to The Ratcatcher.

Excellent performance and suspense!

A lot of people commented on the cliffhanger ending, but I thought it was just right. I was engaged and on edge from the start and really enjoyed the performance. A lot of these types of books have so many background noises that it takes away from the story but this one got it just right. Worth the listen!
