A Murder of Saints

By: Chris Miller

Narrated by: Tim Halligan

Sophie Fields is a little girl tortured by her memories of Damien Smith, a much-loved and respected church elder with a secret lust for the unmentionable. After his misdeeds are covered up by church leaders, she climbs to the roof of her house and jumps to her death, right in front of her shocked brother, Charlie.

20 years later, detective Harry Fletcher is still haunted by the personal demons associated with the church cover-up. After losing his faith, his wife, and now his partner, Fletcher learns that Charlie Fields has come back to town with one mission: to kill everyone responsible for his sister's death. It is Fletcher's job to track and stop the crazed killer.

But as it becomes clear who the main targets are, Fletcher finds himself in the midst of a moral quagmire. Although he sees justice in Charlie's crusade, the killer seems to be taking out others not responsible for his family's destruction. As Fletcher and his new partner battle each other in a test of ideology and limits of the law, the real demons show up and change everything.

In this chilling tale of suspense, revenge, and evil, a police detective wrestles with his moral conscience while attempting to stop a serial killer avenging his sister's death.

Thought provoking, and suspenseful!

Wow! "A Murder of Saints" is absolutely one of the most thought provoking thrillers I've read in a while!

The story follows a man whose younger sister was molested as a preteen by local church leaders. Justice was never served at the time, and the young girl commits suicide. Her older brother doesn't do well after the incident, and comes back 20 years later with revenge on the mind.

The story unfolds from the perspective of more than one character, including the murderer.

What I love most about this book is that it presses you to think about the greater damage that our corrupt Justice system plays into. What I will warn you about: the book is can be quite morbid, and it covers several uncomfortable topics. If you're easily squeamish or don't enjoy true horror books, this is not the book for you.

The narrator is fantastic, and I would gladly listen to him read other books!

I absolutely recommend this book if you're into suspense, thriller, or horror novels. This will absolutely be a perfect read!

Brutal, Uncompromising and Addictive

This book will surprise you should you stick with it - well read and engaging!

Was pretty good until demons got involved

The story started out strong. I was fully into the plight of young Charlie and his plan for vengeance against those responsible for ruining his family’s life. Then the stupid demons showed up. I equate Tossifus with Jar Jar Binks from Star Wars...completely unnecessary and taking away from the original plot, which was just fine on its own. In the end, I couldn’t wait to finish (I had to as I was already committed) so that I could move on to less absurd literature.

True thriller from the beginning

This book has my attention from the start. I don’t usually say books are riveting but , I feel like this one lives up to that word.

Narrator is incredible. He helps builds the suspense and keeps wanting to hear what comes next. Highly recommend “A Murder if Saints”

Graphic violence, obscene language

A little too much for my liking. I'm sure some will like the perversity.

Tim Halligan did a good job of bringing the characters to life.

I was given a free review copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
