About this listen
Please note: This title contains mature content, including depictions of physical and sexual violence. Listener discretion advised.
Emma is the one that got away. The only survivor of a serial killer known in the tabloids as “The Hairdresser”, because of the trophies he takes from his victims.
The police aren't convinced. Nor is her husband. She never actually saw her tormentor properly, but now she recognizes him in every man she sees. Haunted by the horrifying incident and unwanted notoriety, Emma gives up her job as a psychiatrist and retreats from the outside world to recuperate at home, where it’s quiet. Where she can be anonymous and safe. Where no one can hurt her.
But when she accepts a mysterious package for an unknown neighbor, it triggers a disturbing series of events that leaves Emma questioning her sanity and fighting for her life. What exactly has she let into her home?
From international best-selling author Sebastian Fitzek, The Package is a bone-chilling psychological thriller with a dark and twisted narrative that will leave you breathless.

Story
It’s been ten years since Priscilla and her Zeta Phi Zeta sorority sisters graduated college. Ten years since they were all in the same room together. Ten years since one of them died. And now Lupé’s killer has been released from prison on a technicality, days before their ten-year reunion. Priscilla decides that the party must go on; Lupé would have wanted it to. And besides, an epic reunion bash might be the perfect distraction. Back together, the Zetas party like it’s 2012, and it’s wild, just the way it used to be. Maybe too wild.

Story
Widower Luke Driskell didn’t expect to fall in love and marry again so quickly. 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.

It’s a question everyone asks themselves, but few have to face in real life. English teacher Richard Boyle certainly never thought he would find himself talking down a former student intent on harming others, but when Mark LeDrew shows up at Richard’s school with a bomb strapped to his chest, Richard immediately jumps into action. Thanks to some quick thinking, he averts a major tragedy and is hailed as a hero, but not all the attention focused on him is positive.

decent but not great
A bit hard to follow sometimes, mainly the blur between timelines and fantasy vs reality, and the surprise ending was somewhat predictable, but overall good.

Androcentric and Inaccurate
Very androcentric, which is really terrible when the main character is a woman. It felt like the thought and research put into the mental health aspect was next to nothing, as there were plenty of fallacious inaccuracies that were presented as if they were scientific fact and it seemed to have a rather old fashioned attitude towards women, mental health, and homosexuality. Overall an offensive waste of time and money.

has the author ever met a real life woman?
wow. just wow. educated academic psychiatrist giving a talk to other psychiatrists is obsessed with whether her bottom is too large and whether her hair is the right color? incredibly facile, vapid, and demeaning to any woman who has two brain cells to rub together. stick to male protagonists, my man.

It Gets Weird
I had low expectations of this book after reading the reviews and if you go in expecting crap, its better than expected. The main character is pretty pathetic (psychiatrist?) ok, And she has no coping skills, terrible at reading people in her life and the villain is creepy and weird, motive makes no sense, ruse makes no sense, obsession is gross. But, moves at a quick pace and a fast listen. Worth $2-$3 if on sale
