Rothaker: A Dark Psychological Suspense Novel

Brooke Walton Series, Book 2

By: Jenifer Ruff

Narrated by: Stephanie Dillard

It takes the perfect student to commit the perfect crime.

From USA Today and international best-selling author Jenifer Ruff - a dark thriller.

Medical school at Rothaker University is cutthroat, which is perfect for first-year student Brooke Walton. She thrives on the work and the stress - it’s the people she can do without. Except for Xander Cross, a handsome former college football player who just completed a tour in Afghanistan. Brooke is intrigued by Xander’s troubled past and wants to get to the bottom of his darkest secrets.

But when Brooke’s anatomy partner, Rachael, insists Brooke violated the honor code, all Brooke’s accomplishments and years of hard work are in jeopardy, and she could be expelled from prestigious Rothaker.

Then, Rachael mysteriously disappears.

Desperate for clues, detectives descend on campus to interview everyone: faculty, staff, and students. Only one person is desperate for the truth to stay hidden, and will do whatever it takes to keep it that way.

Warning: This is a dark thriller. Brooke Walton is brilliant, ambitious, and twisted. This is not a cozy mystery, and it is not for everyone.

Rothaker is book two in the Brooke Walton series but can be listened to as a stand-alone.

Critic reviews

"A fascinating peek into the mind and machinations of a sociopath.... Absorbing, at times gory thriller featuring an oddly compelling killer 'heroine.'" (Kirkus)

dark and very twisted

well okay I haven't listen to the first book because I requested this book but I did went to Kindle and read the first book I will say the performer did a very good job for me to describe the characters the first book was very dark and very twisted and this one wasn't worth it was very interesting in very darkish wait and I loved it I don't usually read books because of lack of time but I am very happy that I did

Twist OF The Knife and Get Stabbed

This book will play with your head and the thoughts will not be able to escape you. I have not listened to book 1, however, this book was a perfect stand alone

Brooke is a medical student at Rothaker who will stop at nothing to achieve her dream of becoming a heart surgeon. And when I say nothing, I literally mean nothing. This includes, lying, using people, completing homework assignments for classmates (cheating) and even murder. Her mind is not right.

Was All In

I was all in with the love story presented in this book. A girl with a dark secret and a man with a rough past. It worked well. And then the added element of murder and suspense? Yeah. A good read for sure. Narrator killed it! Pun intended. ;)

Not Dark

Rothaker: A Dark Psychological Suspense Novel.. A good read the book takes it's time getting started But once it does it is a good mystery.
It isn't dark and there isn't much suspense in it. So the title is a bit misleading.
But it is a good read and quite entertaining, the series is going somewhere and I will be reading book 3.

just okay

nothing really special with this story. I know it has a part one which I did not read but I was just didappointed with this book. It lacks so much and I wouldn't even call it a thriller. it was actually very predictable and most of the time I found myself watching the time to see how much longer I had left. I did find the narrator to be very good but the writing was just mediocre. don't waste a credit unless you're just looking for something to pass the time.
