À propos de cet audio
From the co-host of chart-topping true crime podcast Morbid, a thrilling debut novel told from the dueling perspectives of a notorious serial killer and the medical examiner following where his trail of victims leads
Something dark is lurking in the Louisiana bayou: a methodical killer with a penchant for medical experimentation is hard at work completing his most harrowing crime yet, taunting the authorities who desperately try to catch up.
But forensic pathologist Dr. Wren Muller is the best there is. Armed with an encyclopedic knowledge of historical crimes, and years of experience working in the Medical Examiner's office, she's never encountered a case she couldn't solve. Until now. Case after case is piling up on Wren's examination table, and soon she is sucked into an all-consuming cat-and-mouse chase with a brutal murderer getting more brazen by the day.
An addictive listen with straight-from-the-morgue details only an autopsy technician could provide, The Butcher and the Wren promises to ensnare all who enter.

Histoire
Tech millionaire Miles Cookson has more money than he can ever spend and everything he could dream of - except time. He has recently been diagnosed with a terminal illness, and there is a 50 percent chance that it can be passed on to the next generation. For Miles, this means taking a long hard look at his past. Two decades ago, a young, struggling Miles was a sperm donor. Somewhere out there, he has kids - nine of them. And they might be about to inherit both the good and the bad from him - maybe his fortune, or maybe something much worse.

Former Super Bowl MVP quarterback Zach Bridger hasn’t seen his ex-wife, Rebecca Pratt, for some time—not since their volatile marriage imploded—so he’s shocked to receive a life-altering call about her. Rebecca has been placed on life support after a violent assault, and he—despite their divorce—has medical power-of-attorney. Zach is asked to make an impossible choice: keep her on life support or take her off of it. Buckling under the weight of the responsibility and the glare of public scrutiny, Zach ultimately walks away, letting Rebecca's parents have the final say.

But Ashley and her daughter, Joy, are special—a quality borne out when Ashley rushes into a burning day-care center to save the children. Immediately she’s a social media sensation and hero. Then, just as suddenly, Ashley and Joy disappear into the bitterly cold night. With no trace of their whereabouts, Luke begins a panicked investigation. Alarmingly, he can find no proof that the woman he loves even exists. Left behind: just a hidden stash of fake IDs. Different names. Different cities. Same haunted face.

Outstanding
I loved it, I devoured it. I was actually shocked that this was Alaina’s first book because of how well it’s written. I can not wait for more, I love the podcast but I’m shocked to say I love this book more! Congratulations Alaina I wish I could reach through my screen and give you a big high five because this book had me holding on for dear life. If you’re on the fence with this book just get it and make sure you have time to spare because you won’t be able to put it down.

Pleasantly surprised at the high quality with this being a first novel! The choice to give the two characters their own individual voice actors was new for me and I really enjoyed the duelling chapters using it.

Cool concept and storytelling
I went in not really sure what to expect, so I tried to stay objective because I do listen to her podcast but I wanted to judge it without that in mind.
For a first book, I'm very impressed! The writing and imagery were alluring and as a scientist in a previous life and a med student I was very impressed with the scientific accuracy! Not surprising considering her occupation, however, a lot of research still clearly went into it.
I really liked the concept, the twist really threw me and I had to go back and listen a couple of times to make sure I understood it right. My one gripe is that this story was really good, but it felt like it should've been fleshed out more. I didn't feel that I "knew" the characters as well as I could have and the story felt rushed at times. Basically, I wish I had more story because it was such a solid concept and what's there is really good, just needed a bit more development I think.
Overall, I really enjoyed it and definitely was on the edge of my seat while listening.
3.5/5 for the story**

Kind of disappointed
Reading it felt more like listening to facts just being told about certain subjects rather than creating an image, as well real serial killers were name dropped multiple times through out, and when they were it felt like I started listening to one of her podcasts giving info about them.
The point from the hunting scene in the “arena” with Jeremy to the end was intriguing and I got really into the book after that. You can definitely tell Alaina put the most effort into that portion of the novel which isn’t a problem at all, I just wish I was that hooked all throughout.
Alaina did leave the ending as a cliff hanger, allowing for another book to follow so I’m hoping that one is a little bit more catching than this one is. She will forever be one of my favourite podcasters and can create a really strong story, so I can’t wait to read whatever she comes out with next!
