About this listen
Felix Pink is retired. Widowed for more than a decade and a painfully literal thinker, he has led a life of routine and is, not unhappily, waiting to die a hopefully boring death. He occupies himself volunteering as an Exiteer - someone who sits with terminally ill people as they die by suicide, assisting with logistics and lending moral support, then removing the evidence so that family and friends are not implicated in the death. When Felix lets himself into Number 3 Black Lane, he’s there to perform an act of kindness and charity: to keep a dying man company as he takes his final breath.
But just 15 minutes later, Felix is on the run from the police - after making the biggest mistake of his life. Now his routine world is turned upside down as he tries to discover whether what went wrong was a simple mistake - or deliberate, a murder.
With a novel that is part murder-mystery, part coming-of-old-age story - however short that future may be - Belinda Bauer continues to redefine the boundaries of crime fiction. With the compassion and dark humor of Jonas Jonasson and the twisted thriller plotting of Rear Window, Exit is a novel listeners will not soon forget.

Witty dialogue, surprising plot, hidden depths
I loved every minute of this audiobook. I usually loathe professional narrators, but Rupert Degas is outstanding. He teased every last ounce of humour, pathos, and meaning out of every line. I bought the book after reading a good review and had no idea it was considered a thriller until after I read it! I just thought it was a cracking good work of fiction that grabbed me right from the opening sentence. I'm not an easy reader to please but, honestly, Belinda Bauer had me laughing, crying, and thoroughly enchanted. Never a dull moment. So many surprising twists, brilliant turns of phrase, and small moments of human kindness. I didn't want it to end.

A delightful book
While this story involves murder and criminal activity, it has an unexpected cast of characters and a delightfully comic tone at times. Empathy and warmth are at the heart of the book. And the resolution of the central crime is quite unexpected!
The performance is marvellous. Rupert Degas wonderfully captures the voices of the key players in this tale.

Outstanding
I received this book for Mother's Day. and finished it in a day. Contemplating retirement long after my peers who made better life decisions , I think about the future. Is this really my last sofa? Last car? Last chance? Am I destined to become a cliche? . Hell no. With insight , intelligence and hilarity , Exit shook me by the shoulders. Snap out of it! ..Last sofa..probably ..I hate sofas ..last car .assuredly...last chance...never.

Fastest I've ever moved through an audio book
Such a great story. i loved it from beginning to end. Had all the emotions. it's been a while since I missed my book during the day and looked forward to diving in at evening, but I really missed it when I wasn't listening.

An outstanding novel and recording
I wasn’t sure what this would be like. It’s terribly English - and that’s a great thing. The story, characters and narration are 5 star. Funny, sad, poignant and clever.

Lively characters
Great story and characters were mostly very likeable and funny. Story has twists and turns and keeps us guessing as to who are the good and bad guys.
I was very entertained and the narrator was superb!

Slow going
This book got plodding after the first few chapters. The joy was all in the narrator who was wonderful.
