Summary

It's time for your operation.

Christian Windsor is a certified genius. He's also autistic. Social situations? Not for him. Friends? No thanks. At 23 years old, with two PhDs, Christian joins the FBI's most dangerous division, The Exceptional Crimes Unit. His first assignment? A serial killer on a rampage. Nicknamed The Surgeon, he's cutting the eyeballs out of women.

That's not the only psychopath lurking in the shadows, though. There's another, and Christian can't see him: his partner. The world renowned psychiatrist, Luke Titan.

Bodies are showing up with dark holes instead of eyes, and Christian is racing against time to understand The Surgeon's identity before more die....

Can he stop The Surgeon, though, before his own partner kills him?

Unsatisfactory ending

I assume there is a book to follow this but the ending is very disappointing. Apart from that the story seems lacking but I can’t put my finger on why. Perhaps the character development was lacking and I particularly didn’t like the characterisation of the high functioning autistic FBI agent. I have this condition myself - it doesn’t mean you talk and think like a Child, though of course everyone is different but I found it cringey.

The ending was a let down...

It started with great promise and I was really looking forward to listening to it, but the ending... oh dear. it was a huge let down, for me at least: I just felt that it didn't do the story justice and all felt a bit rushed somehow. it's not the way it ends that's the problem (the actual outcome I mean) but rather the method it's executed; I felt that the same outcome
could have been achieved in much more interesting and gripping way... anyway other than it being a bit of a let down, I really enjoyed the story, the premise and the narration.

The narrator has a pleasant voice, and a nice accent. There are some strange pronunciations of words, but I've come to accept this in audio books now, so that didn't bother me too much. The narrator is very easily understood, has a nice clear voice and gives a good performance overall.
