À propos de cet audio

A young boy is found horribly murdered in a mock crucifixion. Is the murderer the elderly woman who witnessed the crime? A neurologist who can no longer bear the pain life inflicts on its victims? A psychiatrist with a macabre sense of humor and a guilty secret? A mysterious mental patient, locked in silent isolation?

Lieutenant Kinderman follows a bewildering trail that links all these people, confronting a new enigma at every turn even as more murders surface. Why does each victim suffer the same dreadful mutilations? Why are two of the victims priests? Is there a connection between these crimes and another series of murders that took place 12 years ago - and supposedly ended with the death of the killer?

Legion is a novel of breathtaking energy and suspense. But more than this, it is an extraordinary journey into the uncharted depths of the human mind and the most agonizing questions of the human condition.

The answers are revealed in a climax so stunning that it could only have been written by the author of The Exorcist - William Peter Blatty.

Narrator was great. Story was severely lacking. The murder mystery aspect is mostly in the second half of the book and seems more like a secondary plot. It was mostly the insane ramblings about metaphysics. It is filled with inaccurate, disparaging descriptions of scientific theories with an apparent attempt to discredit science in favour of creationism. Bafflingly, Blatty writes the main character, a Jewish man, is written as having Christian beliefs. It is not nearly as good as The Exorcist. If you would like a good read I’d recommend checking out Blatty’s screenplay for Exorcist III/Legion. It is a much more compelling read.

Disappointing
