ADAM

In his hunt for the serial killer known as Eve, forensic psychologist Daniel Childs suffers a gunshot wound resulting in his death and resuscitation. While dead, he discovers within his mind the key to the mystery, if only he can find the lock. Tim Gregory narrates with impeccable timing, never giving away more than the restrained text offers. His clear, effortless-sounding narration is both involved with the story, and detached from it. A series of chapters inserted throughout the book details the killer's childhood and the events that lead to his current crimes. Gregory delivers these with a slightly different pace and tone—almost sounding like another reader. The surprise ending works, both in terms of content and performance, leaving the listener waiting for more from this pair.
