About this listen

When journalist Jess Duffey gets the first chapters of a bad serial killer novel, she dismisses it as a prank, a ploy for publicity.

Until she follows the writer’s directions to the grave and stumbles head-first into an FBI investigation of a grisly cold case.

The manuscript is not fiction. It’s true crime.

The anonymous chapters keep coming, leading Jess and the police to more horrifying discoveries of brutal murders committed years earlier.

The killer wants Jess to publish his account, word for word, and doing so is the only way Jess and FBI Agent Corrina Stone can find the killer before he completes his evil mission: to kill 15 times.

Fifteen Times a Killer is the latest blockbuster from million-copy best seller Alan McDermott.

This was an interesting listen and totally engrossing, I really needed to know how it would resolve. The different timelines and chapters really meant that I had to concentrate which is not a bad thing. The concept was interesting and I really wasnt sure how it would end.

My only issue was the interpretation of female voices, it took me a while to get used to them.

I was give a free copy by the author via the book club- audible listeners but the review is entirely my own.

Addictive - totally different but detailed

This is an intense, fast paced thriller with an intriguing storyline which makes you think about what is happening in the world. It is certainly not for the faint hearted because there are lots of prolonged, very gruesome torture scenes. Although I enjoyed the book, I felt that there were just too many torture scenes. I'm not squeamish, so that didn't bother me, but for me they just became boring towards the end of the book.

The narration by Tim Shafer was excellent.

Gruesome

Wow, I am not sure if I should be saying that I enjoyed listening to this story, bearing in mind the (at times) gruesome content, but I did!

I listened to the audio version of this book, and really enjoyed Tim Shafer's narration. The story weaves you through the mind of a serial killer, who (in his view) has a perfectly valid reason for his kills. His written descriptions of how he killed his victims are definitely not for the faint-hearted, however I found the story bringing me further into his life, as well as the lives of Jess the reporter and the FBI agent in charge.

I was on a roller coaster of a ride as the story progressed, and found myself wanting to know more details. I loved the suspense of trying to and eventually finding out the reasons behind their seemingly not related deaths and the story being told from the different perspectives. This audio book and story are well paced with solid believable characters, if you like your books on the dark side you are in for a treat!

When an unknown serial killer dubbed "Fifteen X" sends the beginning chapters of his manuscript to the journalist Jess Duffey, little did she know that she would become part of a team that discovers the bodies of a serial killer. Initially thinking she has received a prank gift, her curiosity gets the better of her as she follows the coordinates of where he claims to have buried his first victim. Jess finds herself working alongside the FBI and part of an investigative team to track down Fifteen X, one grisly chapter at a time.

A great book. Definitely not for the faint-hearted, with graphic details of how the killer tormented his victims until their death, but the story kept you wanting more. Who would be the next victim and what would be the reasons behind their death. Posing some interesting moral questions along the way, it interwove these with the serial killer's story as well as following the chase to catch him by the FBI and a reporter. If you want a story that keeps you engaged through the book, with pace and good characters this is for you.

Dark & gripping
