overall great read

The story line is interesting and keeps you drawn in. The epilogue literally made me gasp. The narration is perfect for this book and sounds very natural, as if he is a character himself. I recommend Victim Six to anyone who likes intrigue, though I do need to throw out a word of caution. There are very graphic violence and sexual scenes so be aware that this isn't something you want to listen to if there are children in earshot. I am not a fan of violence or sex scenes just for the sake of being there, but in this story the scenes served a purpose of showing the depravity and evilness of the characters. The author could have gotten away with fewer of them though. Overall an enjoyable read.

Decent and fast paced

The Sixth Victim by Greg Olsen is a well-written and suspenseful crime thriller that follows detective Kendall Stark as she investigates a string of murders in a small town. Olsen's attention to detail in the investigation process makes the story feel authentic and believable, but some readers may find the violence and gore disturbing. Overall, I recommend this novel to fans of the genre, earning it a 4.1-star rating.

pretty good, heavy on SA descriptions

I had a little trouble switching between characters, took me a while to commit to memory who was who. a little graphic at times, sort of anticlimactic in the grand scheme of the story but nice ending!

Decent story, but graphic.

This was a good story but not for the faint of heart. The sexual sadism gets pretty intense so be aware. I would recommend this book but only if you’re okay with reading about some seriously predatory acts.

5 Stars all around.

I've been listening to Olsen for about 6 - 8 books. Although not in succession, you can definitely tell his earlier work.

Most books lately have that cookie cutter narrative. You know the middle and ending by the end of the first paragraph.

This was, although somewhat gory, refreshing.
And Snow for narration!

Good Book

I really liked the book. The characters are flawed and some parts of the book are graphic. Recommend.

Huh?

There were so many times information had been questioned/discovered, but not pursued. The same information would show up a chapter later, or so, as if it had not been previously heard or consider. other than that, I found it to be a good serial killer story. Gruesome details and language are throughout the story.

Gotta be strong for this one

It was a good read. Had great detail and the performance was really good. A must if you’re a fan of Gregg Olsen!!

GOOD BOOK

I really liked this author. The book was not boring. The story kept me interested from the beginning to the end. The narrator had a good voice. which kept me listening. I will be listening to more of his books. This author was recommended to me by my great-niece . Great recommendation. I am pleased.

Very disturbing subject matter

The story is good. But, this book gets very graphic. If you get queasy easily you may want to skip this one, but the story keeps you wondering what will happen next! Good series so far!
