Over Your Dead Body

John Cleaver, Book 5

By: Dan Wells

Narrated by: Kirby Heyborne

New York Times bestselling author Dan Wells continues his popular John Wayne Cleaver series in Over Your Dead Body.

John and Brooke are on their own, hitchhiking from town to town as they hunt the last of the Withered through the midwest—but the Withered are hunting them back, and the FBI is close behind. With each new town, each new truck stop, each new highway, they get closer to a vicious killer who defies every principle of profiling and prediction John knows how to use, and meanwhile Brooke's fractured psyche teeters on the edge of oblivion, overwhelmed by the hundreds of thousands of dead personalities sharing her mind. She flips in and out of lucidity, manifesting new names and thoughts and memories every day, until at last the one personality pops up that John never expected and has no idea how to deal with. The last of Nobody's victims, trapped forever in the body of his last remaining friend.

Critic reviews

"John’s attempts to deal with his desire to kill, his contradictory feelings toward Brooke, and the mundane struggles of their nomadic existence make the tale much richer than a simple monster vs. monster story."—Publishers Weekly

Excellent Series

This is a really well written series and the characters are really well developed. I enjoyed learning how it would be to live as a sociopath. The education of the mindset of a sociopath and the sci-fi sprinkled in for good measure made this series an enjoyable listen. Narration was excellent as well.

What a great series! Loved it!

I wish there was more! Why is only one of these books adapted to film? This could be a gold mine to the right product in company. HBO series. Excellent delivery, excellent story. We'll done!

Wow! Wow!

Amazing story and no dull parts. Read by one of my favorite narrators and is the reason I found this series. Going back to start at beginning. Totally worth the credit

Love this series!

I am enjoying this audiobook series very very much! The narrators through a great job! I hope the books keep coming! Looking forward to the next one
