About this listen

New York Times best-selling author Lisa Renee Jones brings a fresh, modern take to the thriller genre that will keep you guessing until the very end.

“The poet is a liar who always speaks the truth.” (Jean Cocteau)

Some call him friend or boss.
Some call him husband or dad.
Some call him son, even a favorite son.

But the only title that matters to him is the one the media has given him: The Poet.

A name he earned from the written words he leaves behind after he kills that are as dark and mysterious as the reason he chooses his victims.

One word, two, three, a story in a poem, a secret that only Detective Samantha Jazz can solve. Because he’s writing this story for her.

She just doesn’t know it yet.

entertaining enough tale with an original premise. however, detective work apparently involves charging around getting angry and getting intuition. the latter saves any need for actual detective work or plot explanations. someone just feels its weird or out of whack and on you go to the next stage.
the background ideas and psychology are intersting but the total reliance on intuition is not
