The Butcher Game

A Dr. Wren Muller Novel

By: Alaina Urquhart

Narrated by: Sophie Amoss, Joe Knezevich

From the New York Times bestselling author and cohost of chart-topping true crime podcast Morbid comes the thrilling book two in her national bestselling series, told from the dueling perspectives of a notorious serial killer and a medical examiner seeking justice.

Destruction follows the ruthless serial killer, Jeremy Rose, the Bayou Butcher, as he heads north to evade capture for his horrific crimes. As he seeks safe harbor with a former friend, he remains focused on unfinished business with forensic pathologist Dr. Wren Muller, the only target who's ever escaped him—twice. But not this time. He's determined to make Wren suffer, and he's promised to make her play by his own twisted rules.

Still in shock over the harrowing encounter with her old nemesis, Wren is on forced medical leave in New Orleans, attempting to mend the deep scars of her traumatic past. But with growing evidence that Jeremy is leaving a fresh trail of mutilated victims across Massachusetts, Wren realizes the best way to heal is to renew her pursuit of this vicious killer. She sets her sights on Jeremy, only to discover that she may have walked directly into his trap. As their twisted cat-and-mouse game rachets up to a violent clash of good versus evil, Wren prepares to sacrifice everything to bring Jeremy to justice.

With intense true-to-life details from autopsy technician and Morbid podcast cohost, Alaina Urquhart, The Butcher Game is a gripping addition to the New York Times bestselling Dr. Wren Muller series.

A great sequel plus an interview with the author!

TW: murder, descriptions of torture

This book is a great sequel to the Butcher story of Wren Muller. You will need to read the first to really understand this one, but it doesn’t make it any less engrossing. This series with Wren reminds me of Holly Gibney of Stephen King origin. I can see the author taking this all the way and really making a great masterpiece of a trilogy/ anthology. This is high praise, as Holly is my favorite detective character.

Make sure you read to the end and listen to the interview with the author, it gives great insights in the writing process! I agree with decisions she says she has to make for the future of the story. I would say anyone who likes murder mystery need this book in their hands

Chilling

Loved the book. I am not scared by much but the chapter written from Jeremy’s perspective were truly chilling. Ren is truly a woman to root for and I look forward to seeing what happens next!

edge of your seat

epically good. every moment held me spellbound torn between needing to know what's next and not wanting to breath in case the spell would be broken. I can't hardly wait for book 3
