Kill Your Darling

De: Clay McLeod Chapman

Narrado por: Sean Patrick Hopkins

The body of Glenn Partridge’s 15-year-old son was discovered in a vacant lot nearly forty years ago. The police are still no closer to finding the murderer decades later.

Glenn refuses to let the memory of his son fade—or let anyone else within this small working-class community forget. His long-suffering wife signs him up for an amateur fiction-writing workshop at the local library, just to get him out of the house and out of his own head.

Rule number one: Write what you know—so Glenn decides to share his son’s story. The class offers him a chance to make sense of a senseless crime and find the fictional closure life never provided. But as Glenn’s story takes on a life of its own, someone from the past is compelled to come out of hiding before he reaches… the end.

Phenomenal Narration For a Phenomenal Story!

When I was offered the chance to listen to this brilliant book on audio, I jumped at it!

I don't envy the task set before Sean Patrick Hopkins in voicing this grief-based piece of horror fiction.

A first person narrative from the point-of-view of the father of a murdered son has to be a daunting task. I'm here to tell you, he pulled it off and he made it look, (sound?), easy!

As you can imagine, this isn't a happy story but it's a compelling one. As this elderly man faces his own impending demise, he attempts to finally come to terms with his son's unsolved murder. Does he ultimately do that? You'll have to listen to it to find out and I strongly urge you to do just that!

My highest recommendation!
