Exit

De: Belinda Bauer

Narrado por: Rupert Degas

Felix Pink is retired. Widowed for more than a decade and a painfully literal thinker, he has led a life of routine and is, not unhappily, waiting to die a hopefully boring death. He occupies himself volunteering as an Exiteer - someone who sits with terminally ill people as they die by suicide, assisting with logistics and lending moral support, then removing the evidence so that family and friends are not implicated in the death. When Felix lets himself into Number 3 Black Lane, he’s there to perform an act of kindness and charity: to keep a dying man company as he takes his final breath.

But just 15 minutes later, Felix is on the run from the police - after making the biggest mistake of his life. Now his routine world is turned upside down as he tries to discover whether what went wrong was a simple mistake - or deliberate, a murder.

With a novel that is part murder-mystery, part coming-of-old-age story - however short that future may be - Belinda Bauer continues to redefine the boundaries of crime fiction. With the compassion and dark humor of Jonas Jonasson and the twisted thriller plotting of Rear Window, Exit is a novel listeners will not soon forget.

Best book I’ve read in years!

I’ve been a member since the early 2000s (pre-Amazon). I have read so many books (850+ titles in my library), that it’s hard for a book to hold my interest these days. This book was so much fun. I loved the relatable, believable characters, the many twists & turns, and laugh out loud moments. This author is a genius! Narration brilliant, too.

Charming

So British, gently funny and many interesting plot twist and characters
Very enjoyable performance indeed

Delightful!

I enjoyed every minute of this delightful ‘fable’. What starts out seeming grim quickly turns entertaining, funny, and sweet. And the narration was excellent! Can’t wait to check out other audiobooks by the same author.

A fun read

Cute story. Excellent narration. I will look for more audiobooks by either Bauer or Degas.

Wonderful story GREAT narrator

This book was a delight. Funny and poignant and endearing and surprising. The writing is top notch and the narrator was superb. Thoroughly enjoyed the listen.

Refreshingly different

I enjoyed this book very much. I laughed several times, thought I had the mystery figured out a few times and things just kept turning. Very clever.

Wonderful

This sounded like a dark story, but it was funny and heartfelt. The narrator was excellent.

Very Good Read

This is an interesting and entertaining book. The mystery is not very mysterious, but the narration is excellent and the writing is good enough to carry the book. This book reminded me of A Man Called Ove. It is not as well written as Ove, but carries the same flavor. I really enjoyed this book.

Great story!

I laughed and cried.
One of the best books I have listened to in a long time.😃😃😃😃😃

fun read

Fun listening to this mystery with British humor and interesting characters. I listened twice.
