In ‘ The Watson Girl’, FBI Special Agent Tess Winnett is sent to conduct a final interview with a convicted, soon to be executed, serial killer. During the course of the interview he reveals to her that he did not commit three of the murders of which he had been convicted. Tess becomes convinced of the existence of another serial killer who has managed to remain hidden for 15 years, likely longer. This leads to a race to find this killer before he comes back for the lone known survivor who is now unknowingly threatening his identity.
This book was my introduction to Leslie Wolfe. I became engrossed in the story as it unfolded bit by bit until the startling conclusion. The story moves from the reopening the investigation into the cases- to events currently happening in the survivor’s life- to the story of the unknown serial killer’s development. Ms. Wolfe weaves these three parts into one sensational book.
It was also the first time I’ve heard Andrew Tell narrate. Andrew does a great job in narrating the story. His voices are different enough that it is easy to tell the difference when he changes characters. He has a pleasing voice that is easy to listen too. He manages to express the various emotions in the story without being overly dramatic. It comes across feeling quite natural.
I’m afraid I’m not doing this book justice. As opportunities to listen to this book were so sporadic, my impressions aren’t as fresh to convey. Leslie Wolfe is now on my favorite thriller’s author list . Having missed her earlier books, I will be reading and/or listening to them while waiting for her next one. I’ll also be glad to have Andrew Tell narrate.
I was gifted with this audible book by the author which in no way influenced my opinions in this voluntarily given review.
Read and enjoy this book. I don’t think you’ll regret it.
