About this listen

Based on the bestselling Audible Original by Anthony Khaseria, THE RATCATCHER is a thrilling police drama for fans of Joy Ellis and Michael Wood.

It's been twelve weeks since Dresden Commissioner Paula Beyer was sent to the small town of Freidorf to investigate the disappearance of several teenagers. Now she is sitting opposite a psychologist who is tasked with figuring out whether Paula's statements about the case are true, or whether she needs to be suspended until further notice. While Paula believes that the young people were kidnapped by someone mimicking the legend of the Pied Piper of Hamelin, her colleagues believe that Paula is indulging in a fantasy and endangering the investigation.

If Paula wants to stop the perpetrator, she has to convince the psychologist of her version of the story. But the longer the conversation goes on, the more Paula doubts herself…

I started the audiobook with no expectations but as the story unravelled, I was hooked. A typical broken protagonist and a shadow antagonist this was very well written and performed, I managed to binge it while working and was completely taken in. The story is something I have read or heard before but honestly it did not matter as this had its twist and worked well, would recommend it and wish for a follow up now.

Good Narration and twisty good story.

Well not to give the story or the ending away, but I called it; I knew the historical records of St Anthony's Fire.
And Gandalf was right about baby Frodo...my pug is called Gimli.
Stunning plot, with many twists. Watch out for the end!!

Outstanding short listen!

Really enjoyed this play - and a great twist. All the actors played their part well. Not sure about the Northern accents for regional parts of Germany, but I managed to forget about that. Must listen.

Great performances

Unexpected ending left me needing to know more. Maybe a follow on book would be good idea.

Enjoyable mystery.
