About this listen

 A girl's body lies, posed, on the pale sand of a Hamburg beach, a message concealed in her hand: "I have been underground, and now it is time for me to return home."

Four days later, a man and a woman are found deep in woodland, their throats slashed, the names "Hansel" and "Gretel" written on slips of paper pressed into their hands. As Jan Fabel, of the Hamburg murder squad, interprets this twisted imagery, it becomes clear that each new crime is a grisly reference to folk stories collected by the Brothers Grimm. The hunt is on for a serial killer who is exploring the darkest, most fundamental fears hidden in ancient fairy tales.

Thought it would be a struggle to find someone to compete with Steig Larsonn but Craig Russell is very close. Well constructed and believable key characters.

After thoroughly enjoying Blood Eagle I continued on with the second title. Craig Russell continues to build on the characters from the 1st book with a very well done thriller! It had me guessing until the end. Recommended if you enjoyed his first book.

Almost Better than Blood Eagle

I like the way the author takes these fairy tales and threads through these well know tales a baseline, on what these original tales would have been about. Excellent entertainment.

Good story woven around these tales

Another perfectly gripping tale from my favourite author, beautifully narrated and acted by the captivating Sean Barrett. I could listen to this man read the phone book.

Incredible tale, incredibly told.

This is the second Fabel book from the series that I have listened too, after The Blood Eagle. It was great that the old characters have been carried over to this later version, but nicely done so that the book is a story in its own right and not reliant on previous reading.

The story in cleverly told with the plot having a refreshingly good balance of being both unpredictable and believable. I can't wait for the next installment.

Looking forward to the next installment..
