Wolf Hadda's life was a fairytale - successful businessman and adored husband. But a knock on the door one morning ends it all. Universally reviled, thrown into prison, Wolf retreats into silence. Seven years later Wolf begins to talk to the prison psychiatrist and receives parole to return home. But there's a mysterious period in Wolf's past when he was known as the Woodcutter. Now the Woodcutter is back, looking for truth and revenge...

I'm a big fan of criminal psychology so I really loved the early parts of the book but this might not be everyones cup of tea.
But defiantly stick it out to the end; you won't be disappointed.
Amazing, a rare gem of a novel

"Should be 4 1/2 stars"

This book is well-written and fast-paced and the narration is wonderful.
I did not give it 5 stars because there is a component of this story (the main character's relationship with his psychiatrist) that I found disturbing. I'll leave it at that as I don't want to spoil any part of the book for other readers.
Overall it's a good book and worth the credit.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I cannot say that I enjoyed the book. It is not gripping or particularly well-written. The performance is fine, but the actor, whose voice is very well suited to the character, cannot save the lukewarm story. There is a fair amount of chasing, killing, climbing the cliffs, chopping off hands, and other thriller elements; and yet they utterly fail to excite the reader. I would've given up listening after the first couple of hours, but this was the only audiobook available to me this month and I really need something to listen to while I jog, so I finished it. I'm sorry to say the rest was just as bland as the beginning.What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
It's not possible to write a spoiler because nothing remotely surprising happens in the second half of the book. First half is not particularly inventive either, but at least the reader is still getting to know the characters so he is not completely bored. I've fallen asleep listening to this book more often than with any other audiobook ever before.I was not impressed

Where does The Woodcutter rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It's in the top 25%, and I listen to a lot of audiobooks.What other book might you compare The Woodcutter to and why?
I'm not sure there's anything quite the same as this; it has the psychological insights and character details of an Elizabeth George mystery, an interesting antihero, a hint of mythology - all while giving an excellent shout-out to Alexandre Dumas. It was also really, really fun.Which character – as performed by Jonathan Keeble – was your favorite?
Wolf was a standout, but really the narrator was good with all the characters and their voices. A pitch-perfect performance.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yup.Any additional comments?
If you came here looking for a truly compelling suspense/mystery/thriller and have discerning tastes, you have found your book. This was my first Reginald Hill book, and it won't be the last. Wonderful stuff!Revenge! Murder! Suspense!
