Review #2: The Murderer's Son by Joy Ellis

I'm spotting a bit of a trend in the books I'm listening to already - They're all psychological thrillers so far! I'll work on listening to different genres in the future, I PROMISE! Again, THIS HAS TRIGGERS OF MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AND MURDER - PLEASE STOP READING IF THIS EFFECTS YOU.

OK, so The Murderer's Son by Joy Ellis:

Narration - 7.5/10  Storyline - 9/10  Ease of listening - 8/10

This book was very engaging, I literally couldn't put it down. If you mix ancestry.com with a murder documentary like Making A Murderer on Netflix, you're probably on your way to the storyline of this book. The main character Daniel confesses to a brutal murder of a woman, but he can't remember committing it. He is obsessed by the serial killer, Francois Thayer and believes her to be his mother. The book watches DI Rowan Jackman and DS Marie Evans gather evidence to find the culprit.

The narration of The Murderer's Son was so much smoother than Along Came A Spider. The story flowed well from Richard Armitage's depiction, and though you could tell there were different characters, the voices sounded OK, he didn't just use a squeaky voice for women. This book took much less time to get through, it was very easy to listen to, so I barely turned it off. It was a great book to do crafts to, because even if I was counting stitches, I was still able to keep up with the story and I didn't miss vital details!

Overall I would absolutely recommend this book. It's not the first book of the Jackman & Evans series, so I'd recommend listening to Their Lost Daughters first, but it's not essential, you can still follow the storyline without it!

Even before this blog I absolutely love receiving book recommendations, so please give me a shout on twitter @GiantTortoise7 and I'd love to hear from you!

Stay safe!
