The Nothing Man

I only listened to the first 3 hours before giving up. So I don\’t know if I can give it a fair review. But I returned it and feel I should say why. I just had a hard time staying engaged. My mind kept wandering off. Then I would skip back, listen again and still be confused! I think it was the book within a book part that lost me. There were 2 viewpoints, Eve, the surviving victim and Jim, the killer. They were mostly in the present but would also remember the past. Then there was the telling of his other crimes in the past which just got muddled with the rest. It went on and on, explaining many of the other crime\’s details. In fact, I would say about 80% was short stories of other crimes he committed. I know you need some of it to understand the killer but it quickly became boring and disturbingly repetitive. We get it, raped and murdered. If it were a regular book I would have definitely skimmed over these parts and gotten to the good stuff, the characters of the actual story in the present. The whole game of catching the Killer! With that said, I think the problem lays with me! The reviews, here and on Goodreads, are some of the best I\’ve ever seen. So don\’t listen to me!

If you are into listening to rape and death scenes this is the book for you. Way too many descriptions and details. Had to stop listening with seven hours left.

I loved the unique perspective of this story… knowing the killer from the beginning and having access to all his thoughts. Catherine is brilliant at throwing surprises into her stories that you may not have seen coming. I have enjoyed all of her books so far. The narrators are also top notch and bring the story to life.

I discovered this author through the free books in audible plus & purchased 2 more. The books are very well written & the narration makes them come to life. I have enjoyed her books very much!

This was a very enjoyable read. I haven\’t read a book like this before, where the main character is reading a book about himself. I liked how he would read and then offer his side of the same story. Towards the end it got a little boring because it dragged on. But it was only for maybe two or three small chapters. I would have liked to have him answer her questions, but the book had enough twists to not really matter that one piece was missing. The ending was nice, good for her.
