About this listen

Crime reporter Eve Singer's career is on the downward slope when a spate of bizarre murders - each carefully orchestrated and advertised like performance art - begin in her territory. Covering these very public crimes revives her byline, and when the killer contacts Eve to discuss her coverage of his crimes, she is suddenly on the inside of the biggest murder investigation of the decade. But as the killer becomes increasingly obsessed with her, Eve realizes there's a thin line between inside information and becoming an accomplice to murder - possibly her own. A seamlessly-plotted thriller that will keep listeners breathless until the very end, The Beautiful Dead cements Belinda Bauer's reputation as a master of heart-stopping suspense.

I love Belinda Bauer’s books. A real shame about the narrator. He is just as bad on the archers! Constantly reading with his actor voice.
Still worth a listen

Great story poor narration

Really enjoying Belinda Bauer’s writing, quirky insights and different plot lines. Beautifully read as well, just enough character not to interfere with the story. On to the next one!

Funny and dark and clever

Another amazing dip into the weird human psyche with brilliant narration. I love Brlinda Bauer and this was mo exception.

Exceptional!

The story is ok but the narration (by Andrew wincot, best known as Adam Macy in the Archers) is remarkably dreadful. He overacts hammily throughout, and the heroine’s lines are rendered in a peculiar hoarse and breathy whisper. I will certainly avoid this narrator completely from now on.

Awful narration

As a journalist fights to get the story on the serial killer her home life is complicated by her father's dementia. And she then is in the sights of the killer.

Excellent story but I sometimes found the dementia scenes hard to listen to as they were so sad.

Reporter becomes prey.

Really enjoyed this story, couldn't​stop listening, really wanted to know the outcome, can't wait for the next book :-)

Brilliant story.

The narration is very slow and heavy. It sounds normal if you play it at 1.2 speed, although it is still relentlessly doom-laden

This was a good story, beautifully told, though a little too much swearing at times, to make it easy to listen to for me ( graphic violence too, for those with a sensitive stomach!). The characters were well drawn & I realise that the swearing was to set the scene, but I feel it was a little overdone. Having said that, the twists and turns, as well as the wry humour, and the brilliant ending, made this overall, an enjoyable read.

Gripping story.

Sorry, I do like her books, though this seems even darker than most, but the narrator (Adam from The Archers, and clearly the worst actor in that) is just awful . Couldn’t get beyond the first few chapters and I shall never know the ending.

Awful narration

I love Belinda Bauer's books but the narration ruined this for me. I just could not get through it. Overly and continuously dramatic, even on the most mundane.

Ruined by the narrator
