About this listen

When Inspector Belin set out to catch the elusive Henri Landru for embezzlement and fraud, he wasn't prepared for the complex web of secrets that would unravel.

As war raged on and husbands fought on distant battlefields, Landru preyed upon the vulnerable hearts of lonely young women, presenting himself as a grieving widower desperate to fill the void in his shattered life.

Beneath the façade of a broken man lay a disturbing truth - a predator driven by insatiable desires. Would some of Landru’s 283 targets find out in time to save themselves?

Seeking Hearts is a chilling journey through the depths of human darkness. As the riveting tale unfolds, it forces listeners to confront the unsettling realisation that, for Henri Landru, murder became the ultimate means of tying up loose ends.

I’m not sure what I disliked more about the anti-hero of this well researched book: his callousness, entitlement, complete disregard for anyone else but himself to name but a few of his depravity. He was a truly despicable human being and the author added layer upon layer of detail to make this man real for us. Very well written and absorbing book. The narration was good, though I would have preferred a European voice given the location of the action. Also, the narrator’s approach feels to me to be too “tongue in cheek” for the gravity of the subject matter.

Another interesting exploration of a man living among high society off the stolen valuables of his previous romantic partners. As with many other of Green's books, this explores the timeline of his crimes and shows a gradual creep beyond fraud and into murder, using fake names to hide in plain sight for quite a long time, with the police unwilling to act.
