About this listen

Ansel Packer is scheduled to die in twelve hours. But this is not his story.

Ansel doesn't want to die; he wants to be celebrated, understood. Yet now he awaits the same fate he forced on those girls, years ago.

This is the story of the women who survive.

As the clock ticks down, three women—a mother, a sister, a detective—reckon with the choices that culminate in tragedy, the impact on those in its wake, and the possibility of redemption.

Brilliant performed by the two readers and a wonderfully constructed and written story. Will definitely read more from the author and look for more read by the actors.

As grim as the title suggests but beautifully told

Told via different view points the story follows the last few days in the life of a serial killer. The story tellers are all related in one way or another with the killer being the common denominator.The story moves along at a fair pace. It was BOGOF. Well narrated and not my usual listen.

Brilliant!

Narration was great. The story is interesting and found myself wanting to keep listening to see where the story took me. Enjoyed that the majority of the book is centered around the women. Def recommend!

I have discovered a new favourite writer. Will not be surprised to see a list of prize wins from this delicately considered work. Beautiful prose, characters, narrative. The 2 narrators do a great job here. I did not want it to end and will probably listen again to this original take on the story around a serial killer. There isn't a cluche in sight. Loved loved loved this!

Amazing

Absolutely loved this. Could have been depressing - but instead I felt a sense of hope and peace after reading it. a contentious theme - capital punishment - but it didn't preach opinions. it was full of perfectly formed characters. So much thought has clearly gone in to crafting this great story.

Brilliant - a satisfying and original story

I really enjoyed this story. The plot was interesting and I liked how the narrative moved between characters and the timeline. The narration was perfect (though the use of the second person was a bit unsettling at times).

I don’t think the author necessarily wants the reader to be sympathetic towards Ansel but you can certainly understand how his experiences shaped him…

Definitely worth a listen!

Brilliant and captivating

This book was my first time listening to a whole novel on audiobook and what a profoundly moving story! This novel turns the detective/serial killer/ death row genre into something very different with the focus being very much on the women involved in the story. Terrific writing and storytelling. Highly recommended!!!!

Really stunning work
