Found this on Scribl & gave it a try. Enjoyed the perspective of both the hero & the villian. Found it exceedingly difficult to set this story aside. Gotta love a story that drags you in for the ride & won't let go till the end. Great job by the author!

...the story of a cat-and-mouse game between a private investigator and the leader of a murder-cult with whom she shares what appears to be a weird psychic bond. Does that sound good to you? Sounds good to me!
This is an enjoyable listen with a couple of quirky narrative tricks to make it distinct from other similar works. First, there's a lot of narrative compression. Like a lot. Years elapse during the first two chapters of this story, it's that compressed. This allows for a solid look at the nature of obsession, as extraneous details or subplots are kept to a minimum (to the point that no characters here are actually given names) and lends an overall impression that the two principals are narrowing their focus upon one another, to the point that by the end they're the only two people in the world who matter any more. Second, the prose style reads like a court document, as though the male and female lead are giving testimony on their experience rather than relating their stories, lending a clipped, clinical look at what are horrific events.
And both work more often than they don't. The writing style lends a creepy, detached feel to the proceedings as the story unfolds, though at times I wished some of the events had been unpacked a little more than they were. The romantic subplot, for the investigator, and some of the murders for the killer in particular, as while not relating directly to the driving plot they were clearly of great import to the characters in question. Nonetheless, I have a standing policy: When my chief complaint is that I want the book to be longer, clearly it's done something right.
Overall, this is an enjoyable crime thriller who's narrative conceits work more often than not, and i got a kick out of listening to it. Well handled, and thoroughly enjoyed!
