The Hypnotist

Reincarnationist, Book 3

By: M. J. Rose

Narrated by: Phil Gigante

Haunted by a 20-year-old murder of a beautiful young painter, Lucian Glass keeps his demons at bay through his fascinating work as a special agent with the FBI’s Art Crime Team. Currently investigating a crazed art collector who has begun destroying prized masterworks, Glass is thrust into a bizarre hostage negotiation that takes him undercover at the Phoenix Foundation — dedicated to the science of past-life study — where, in order to maintain his cover, he agrees to submit to the treatment of a hypnotist.

Under hypnosis, Glass travels from ancient Greece to 19th-century Persia, while the case takes him from New York to Paris and the movie capital of the world. These journeys will change his very understanding of reality, lead him to question his own sanity and land him at the center of perhaps the most audacious art heist in history — the theft of a 1,500-year-old sculpture from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

International bestselling author M. J. Rose’s The Hypnotist is her most mesmerizing novel yet. An adventure, a love story, a clash of cultures, a spiritual quest, it is above all a thrilling capstone to her unique Reincarnationist novels, The Reincarnationist and The Memorist.

I enjoyed the other books, but I read them.

I very seldom dislike a book, but this one came close. Maybe it's because I read the other two and listened to this one. I usually don't have a problem focusing on the audiobook, but I had a hard time with this one. It became easier towards the end when the action picked up, but I still felt relieved when the end came. Maybe I'll try again another time.

decent story, didn't love the narration

The story is interesting, but predictable. When the narrator does the women's voices, it is really annoying.
