A Feast of Carrion

By: Keith McCarthy

Narrated by: Sean Barrett

St Benjamin's Medical School is the greatest of its kind, any death occurring within its walls would have created ripples within the academic world, but the death of Nikki Exner is far from being ordinary. Raped, and then grotesquely executed, her theatrical murder horrifies everyone.

John Eisenmenger, a former forensic pathologist, finds himself dragged unwillingly into the case. Teaming up with solicitor Helena Flemming, Eisenmenger sets out to discover what really did happen to Nikki Exner.

Eisenmenger and Flemming find there is much more at stake than uncovering the identity of a murderer: there are scores to be settled, demons to be exorcised, and, not least, vengeance to be had.

TERRIFIC SUSPENSE!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. Well written and superb narrator. Can't wait to read his other books.

What about Sean Barrett’s performance did you like?

John Lee has been my favorite narrator for many years but Sean Barrett is a close second.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It keep me listening into the wee hours

Any additional comments?

Well worth the credit for an excellent writer and narrator!

My new series obsession

I can't remember how I stumbled onto this title, or for that mtter how I missed it for so long. It was published in 2003 but the audio produced in 2008. Unappreciated IMHO, this book is on a par with titles by Michael Robotham and Tana French, and that refers to characters, story and performance. The medical subject material is very well done (small wonder, turns out the author is a pathologist!) and I like how certain aspects of the suspense are left open-ended. I plan to work my way through the series in order, at least until I hit a clunker.

I love the narrator and the book

I am always on the lookout for good "mysteries/thrillers", narrated by good readers. This book fit the bill. The plot was very interesting; the writing was concise and intelligent. The reader was very good, and kept my interest throughout.
I will listen to the next Eisenmenger book by this author "The Silent Sleep of the Dying".

Keith McCarthy/Sean Barrett: a lethal combination!

What a pleasure to experience the exceptional talents of two wonderful artists. I love it when a plan comes together.
