The Surrogate

De: Tania Carver

Narrado por: Mark Meadows

A shocking double-murder scene greets Detective Inspector Philip Brennan when he is called to a flat in Colchester. Two women are viciously cut open and laying spread-eagled, one tied to the bed, one on the floor. The woman on the bed has had her stomach cut into and her unborn child is missing. But this is the third time Phil and his team has seen such an atrocity. Two other pregnant women have been killed in this way and their babies taken from them. No one can imagine what sort of person would want to commit such horrible crimes. When psychologist Marina Esposito is brought in, Phil has to put aside his feelings about their shared past and get on with the job. But can they find the killer before another woman is targeted?

Both Disturbing and Captivating

There are no words to adequately express how disturbing this story is yet how much I could not stop listening in an effort to try to figure out who was behind committing these unspeakable acts and why.
Lots of twists and turns up until the end…leaving you with only one unanswered question: what’s going on in Tania Carver’s brain to think this story up?
Whatever it is - I dig it!

My Halloween Pick

Not my usual choice of material but was much better written than I expected. Great reader.

Great read 📚

I ABSOLUTELY loved this book. it definitely kept me interested ☺ the narrator did a great job as well

Stick with it!

I had trouble getting into the story at first but I kept listening and the story grabbed me and wouldn’t let me go until it ended. I figured out who was who early on but the suspense was riveting and I had to keep listening! Good book for sure I recommend it.
Cjaber

WOW!

I really, really, really enjoyed this book. Great story with lots of twists and turns. A little too wordy at times but a powerful story for sure.
I’m going to recommend this book to my friends.

WOW!

A psychological thriller like no other! I kept guessing, flinching and feeling thru the whole story!

great book

this was one of the best books I have listened to so far. It just kept you guessing and I did not want it to stop listening.

Thought I Knew. .

Thought I knew what was going on but was pleasantly surprised. Reminds me of how sad mental illness is and can be.

Narration was very good.

Disturbing

Wish I had listened and not read this novel. Too many disturbing characters as and not enough redeeming ones. Storyline gets more disturbing as the characters are fleshed out. I like a good scare but this was just too ugly.

Good story, pretty graphic

This was a classic murder story, pretty good but honestly a bit graphic at times. I don’t know that the overly descriptive gory scenes really added anything to the story.

Besides that I really liked the detectives but couldn’t stand that love interest Marina girl. How is this whiny cry baby woman a recognized psychologist lol? I am not buying it.

Overall good story, exactly what I was looking for.
