I found this book difficult to get into, but that was just because we were getting such a detailed background of the story.
In fact once it got started it was totally gripping, very interesting, and very enjoyable. I will probably try another from this author.

Mr Olsen has excelled himself in this book, the narrator complimented with perfection as he negotiated many different genders and dialects, I am genuinely miffed that I have come to the end,as for Art Shawcross, he is where he needs to be.

A Lot of Book

Compelling, informative and very well written. Jack Olsen books are really good.

I listened to this over 3 days, was so hard to put down. The attention to detail is incredible and how the story unfolds will keep you listening well into the night.

Kevin P (the narrator) is equally good, as usual.
The psychiatrists’ research into genetics and endocrinology is fascinating and his final report is eye opening. (The book never fails to hold your attention from start to finish) Wow!

I’ve read many of Olsens book but this one is up there, with the best.
I’m off to read predator by Olsen next.

Well worth a listen.

Jack Olsen does it again (and again) !
