About this listen

The year is 1911. Chief Investigator Isaac Bell of the Van Dorn Detective Agency has had many extraordinary cases before. But none quite like this.

Hired to find a young woman named Anna Pape who ran away from home to become an actress, Bell gets a shock when her murdered body turns up instead.

Vowing to bring the killer to justice, he begins a manhunt which leads him into increasingly more alarming territory. Anna Pape was not alone in her fate - petite young blond women like Anna are being murdered in cities across America.

And the pattern goes beyond the physical resemblance of the victims - there are disturbing familiarities about the killings themselves that send a chill through even a man as experienced with evil as Bell. If he is right about his fears, then he is on the trail of one of the greatest monsters of his time.

Excellent.and well read

The Cutthroat is right up there with The Wrecker as the best of the Bell series. After a couple of what I considered weaker stories in the last books, Cussler really found form again here.
Taking place across North America, The Cutthroat is a fantastic murder/mystery based around the theatre/film industry - involving one of the UK's most notorious serial killers!
The story is standalone, so you don't necessarily have to read the previous books in order to enjoy this, however I do find that knowledge of previous adventures/characters etc does help.

Really, I can't recommend The Cutthroat enough. Cussler and Bell back to their best for sure.

Best Bell adventure yet!

The Issac Bell series are some of my favourite written light entertainment novels. I'm not so sure about the audible versions which I think is due to a narrative style which isn't best suited to my British ear but that's just one of these things.

Entertaining
