Homicide detective Frost Easton doesn't like coincidences. When a series of bizarre deaths rock San Francisco - as seemingly random women suffer violent psychotic breaks - Frost looks for a connection that leads him to psychiatrist Francesca Stein. Frankie's controversial therapy helps people erase their most terrifying memories...and all the victims were her patients.

As Frost and Frankie carry out their own investigations, the case becomes increasingly personal - and dangerous. Long-submerged secrets surface as someone called the Night Bird taunts the pair with cryptic messages pertaining to the deaths. Soon Frankie is forced to confront strange gaps in her own memory, and Frost faces a killer who knows the detective's worst fears.

As the body count rises and the Night Bird circles ever closer, a dedicated cop and a brilliant doctor race to solve the puzzle before a cunning killer claims another victim.

A serial killer is getting inside of the head's of his victim, causing them to live their worst fears/memories and then die/kill themselves. A detective, a kind of shady female shrink, and a young girl who just witnessed the suicide of her best friend are all in a race to track down "The Night Bird" before he can strike again. Definitely worth an audio listen if you want to hear some creepy, eeerie sounds.

Definitely a great choice for Audible!

I liked the narrator for the most part. His accent was terrible and inconsistent sometimes the character would have an accent and sometimes not.

The story was interesting from beginning to end with a psychological bent that left me with a sense of "what if". But the narrators alter egos were ridiculously overplayed, to the point of being comical. They all sounded the same too. U would think the narrator knew nothing about accent or tone variation. But the story was still worth listening to even with the unfavorable narration.

Great story with terrible narrator
