Sergeant Wade McKinnon knows who killed Samantha the moment he arrives at her crime scene. Problem is, he watched her killer die a year ago.

A year after serial killer Michael Rhodes is executed and allowed to donate part of his brain as an organ transplant, Wade gets called to a murder scene that shares uncanny similarities to those of the late Michael Rhodes. Other similar killings happen around Seattle, and Wade seems to be the only person still alive who knows enough about Michael Rhodes’ murders to be able to replicate them. When evidence found at one of the crime scenes points to Wade as the killer, he races to find the real culprit before it’s too late to clear his own name.

Elle is overjoyed when her husband receives a partial brain transplant and gets a second chance at life. Until she learns that his brain cells came from a serial killer....

The Recipient is a chilling crime thriller mixed with domestic suspense that will leave you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

Audrey did an amazing job building up a suspenseful plot with twists throughout. It was creative and unique and kept me glued to my earphones to hear the full story. The characters were interesting and well portrayed. The brain transplant idea really got me thinking and has so much potential!

I really liked that there was both a male and female performer as it helped navigate the story and point of views.
