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…

Excellent all round

Reads or sounds like a Fitzek dramatisation, so obviously top notch.
Cannot fault it and did the lot in one sitting (which is hard not to) if you have the time?

Did it entertain me? YES
Did I appreciate the production & storyline? YES
Would I pay to listen? YES
Was I asked to pay to listen? NO

If you like this sort of thing....just get started, it's right up there with the best of 'em!!

Seems like there's a couple more in other languages, so hopefully English versions will materialise soon.

Short listen

It was ok. The ending was predictable and I'm not the smartest cookie in the jar, so that's saying something.

Definitely worth giving it a go, if you're struggling to find something longer or waiting for a new audible release. The narrators were great.
