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…

Has some issues

i usually like the genre, but i found this hard to get into. some of the sound mixing and quality is rough and the pacing just didn't catch me. it was hard to process some of the dialog due to the sound mixing, that may have been a big part of my issue. had to drop it partway through.

Intriguing beginning to a series?

The story is interesting, but for my taste, it could be darker. It does skirt the darkness and sometimes that's all a listener wants. It's a bit of a teaser of what may be a protagonist in a series, maybe one I'm not familiar with. If it isn't already, it seems to me there is a lot of potential here with the main protagonist. I enjoyed the story, and it held my attention, albeit a little mild from my years of listening to darker thriller and crime novels.
