About this listen

Paper Dolls is a dark and compelling psychological thriller which will appeal to fans of authors like Chris Carter, C.J. Tudor and Karin Slaughter.

When a bizarre set of murders take place in London, three flatmates become embroiled in the terrifying mystery. Mike, Beatrice and Kerri all share a flat and a passion to move their careers forward.

When Mike, a frustrated mime in Trafalgar Square, lays eyes on performance artist Princess, his world begins to unravel.

Meanwhile, Kerri is struggling to hold on to her job as a journalist when she stumbles across a body, which turns out to be the third victim of the Paper Doll Killer. Beatrice, who was once a best-selling author, looks to the series of murders for inspiration but finds a lot more than she bargained for. As the three flatmates discover they each have links to the killer they start to turn on one another. Who might be next?

Oh wow this was a slog to get through. I say get through, I can’t finish it as I’m finding the combination of tedious storyline and dire narration too much like hard work. Maybe the last 3 hours are great and make it worthwhile, but I’ll never know as I’m done.

Wasted Credit

The concept sounded great and the book came recommended by a friend. However, I found it very difficult to concentrate on as an audiobook as the narrator’s voice was very irritating, the plot was dull and characters unlikeable. After 4 hours I gave up the ghost and deleted it - I’ve listened to 20 books on audible and this is only the second time this has happened. Very disappointing!

Tedious with a very irritating narrator

I couldn’t get beyond the 2nd chapter as the narrator was so bad, no intonation or emphasis - it was a struggle to make sense of what was happening as she paused in odd places, rendering sentences incomprehensible. I gave up and returned it.

Awful narrator made it impossible to listen
