About this listen
Sergeant Wade McKinnon knows who killed Samantha the moment he arrives at her crime scene. Problem is, he watched her killer die a year ago.
A year after serial killer Michael Rhodes is executed and allowed to donate part of his brain as an organ transplant, Wade gets called to a murder scene that shares uncanny similarities to those of the late Michael Rhodes. Other similar killings happen around Seattle, and Wade seems to be the only person still alive who knows enough about Michael Rhodes’ murders to be able to replicate them. When evidence found at one of the crime scenes points to Wade as the killer, he races to find the real culprit before it’s too late to clear his own name.
Elle is overjoyed when her husband receives a partial brain transplant and gets a second chance at life. Until she learns that his brain cells came from a serial killer....
The Recipient is a chilling crime thriller mixed with domestic suspense that will leave you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

My husband is a doctor. He’s smart and charming, and everybody trusts him. Except me. On the surface, it looks like I have it all–the perfect marriage, the perfect husband, the perfect life. But it’s far from the truth. Doctor Drew Devlin is not the respectable figure he makes out to be. The reason we moved to this beautiful, old property with a gorgeous view of the sea was because we needed to put our past behind us. It should’ve been a fresh start for us both.

As the body count increases, they can’t ignore the details that echo famous cases of the past. As Elliott and Deakin get closer to unmasking the killer, the murders are moving closer to home.

Story
Alan Gregory is a clinical psychologist with a thriving practice in Boulder, Colorado. His life begins to unravel when one of his female patients is found in an apparent suicide and the local paper begins printing accusations from an unnamed source of sexual impropriety between the woman and Dr. Gregory. He launches a psychological and personal quest for the truth that rapidly intensifies when more of his patients die untimely deaths, and Gregory suspects not only that the deaths are related but that another one of his patients may be somehow involved. Lacking facts but roused by suspicion and troubled by seemingly random acts of terror around him, Gregory starts to fear for the safety of the people he loves. The question of the inviolability of confidential disclosures made to Gregory by his patients - privileged information - becomes crucial as the psychologist pursues an unsettling romance with Lauren Crowder, a lovely deputy district attorney investigating one of the deaths. Bound to silence, Gregory follows the psychological tracks of someone he fears may be a cunning and disturbed killer, while turning to his enigmatic but supportive partner, Diane Estevez, for counsel, and to his tart-tongued female urologist neighbor for support. The sinister, surprising drama unfolds against Boulder's Rocky Mountain backdrop, in the arresting natural beauty of Aspen, and in the midst of a baroque Halloween costume party in downtown Boulder. Finally, in a lonely mountain lodge enshrouded in menace, the story comes to its breathtaking climax.

It was inescapably chilling, as if the murderer was methodically working his way down a page torn from the phone book. The three victims brutally killed in their own homes had one thing in common: They were all listed as M. Douglas. The fact that Mara Douglas is next on the list has her jumping at shadows, until FBI agent Aidan Shields shows up to make sure she doesn't become the fourth victim.

Unexpected turn
The small synopsis I thought was really all the book was boy was I wrong. Great story and told very well. I really liked having more than one narrator.

Awesome Twists!
Audrey J Cole outdid herself with The Recipient. I loved the twists she wrote. I did not see the ending! Both narrators, Marcio Catalano and Veronica Pace brought the characters to life. They conveyed the emotions perfectly. This book is part of a series and a standalone listen.

Excellent Thriller!
This was my first Audrey J. Cole’s book, and definitely won’t be my last. This is the first book in the Emerald City Thriller series. This is an excellent thriller. The characters are well developed, and intriguing. The storyline is thrilling and captivating. The plot is well crafted, original, and enthralling. Impossible to stop listening! I liked the characters, the suspense, and the twists and turns. Marcio Catalano and Veronica Pace did an outstanding job with the narration. I love their voices together! I enjoyed it, and I HIGHLY recommend it! Looking forward to listening to Inspired by Murder, the next book in the series.

Excellent thriller with various twists!
A copycat serial killer is on the loose and detective Wade McKinnon must find him. Elle's husband received a partial brain transplant and notices strange changes in his behaviour. could these events be related?
Audrey did an amazing job building up a suspenseful plot with twists throughout. It was creative and unique and kept me glued to my earphones to hear the full story. The characters were interesting and well portrayed. The brain transplant idea really got me thinking and has so much potential!
I really liked that there was both a male and female performer as it helped navigate the story and point of views.
This is a must read, along with the others in the series, all equally as enthralling!
