The Sleeping Doll

Kathryn Dance, Book 1

By: Jeffery Deaver

Narrated by: Anne Twomey

Daniel Pell is a contemporary Charles Manson. A petty criminal with a history of anti-social behaviour, he had a group of women living with him in a quasi cult in central California. Eight years ago, he and another man viciously slaughtered a family for no apparent reason, though the three women in his "family" were absolved of any part in the deaths. Now, present day, Pell has escaped and interrogator and analyst Kathryn Dance must find out where he is and why he's staying near the prison he escaped from.©2007 Jeffery Deaver (P)2007 Simon and Schuster

Good listen but definitely not Lincoln

Not as good as Lincoln Rhyme but a very nice story with some good twists, but felt like the author was trying to hard at the end. got too much at the end, story could have finished a half hour earlier

Deaver does it again!

At the completion of the final scene all of my initial thoughts about this mature, scratchy narrator had faded away. Drifted away with the plot lines and suspense created by Deaver, and indeed Twomey.

Another great Audible audio book which I'll listen to again and again.

Gripping from the start

It was very easy to get hooked from the start. The narrator was appropriately expressive. The story had unexpected but believable twists.
