About this listen

The Red Room is a terrifying and gripping psychological thriller from the Top Ten best-selling author, Nicci French.

Enter the Red Room - where nightmares become reality. He almost took your life. Now his is in your hands....

After psychologist Kit Quinn is brutally attacked by a prisoner, she is determined to get straight back to work. When the police want her help in linking the man who attacked her to a series of murders, she refuses to simply accept the obvious. But the closer her investigation takes her to the truth behind the savage crimes, the nearer Kit gets to the dark heart of her own terror.

Without giving anything away I don’t understand why the killer killed the first victim. Was it sexually motivated? I’ve tried listening back over it, but nope, it just doesn’t make sense. If anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful!
So whilst this was potentially a good story (if a little far fetched in places) I just don’t get it!

I still don’t get it

The narrative was predictable, as were the interactions between characters. I didn’t find the denouement convincing. The most outstanding feature was the character of Michael.

Story so so

I've never read, or listened to, anything by Nicci French before, but I certainly will in the future. The story is gripping from the veg inning, with lots of twists. A truly recommended listen.

A superb listen.

I love the Nicci French books but this one didn't do it for me. It was misogynistic and homophonic but this was the norm when this was written. I'm sorry but I gave up on it.

Very dated
