À propos de cet audio

 A USA Today Best Mystery of All Time • Steeped in the folklore of Eastern Europe, and set in the shadow of Nazi darkness erupting just beyond the Czech border, this bone-chilling, richly imagined novel is propulsively entertaining, and impossible to put down.

"A wildly entertaining story...Russell has created a truly frightening story." —The New York Times Book Review

Czechoslovakia, 1935: Viktor Kosárek, a newly trained psychiatrist who studied under Carl Jung, arrives at the infamous Hrad Orlu Asylum for the Criminally Insane. The facility is located in a medieval mountaintop castle surrounded by forests, on a site that is well known for concealing dark secrets going back many centuries. The asylum houses six inmates--the country's most treacherous killers--known to the terrified public as the Devil's Six. Viktor intends to use a new medical technique to prove that these patients share a common archetype of evil, a phenomenon he calls The Devil Aspect. Yet as he begins to learn the stunning secrets of these patients, he must face the unnerving possibility that these six may share a darker truth.

Meanwhile, in Prague, fear grips the city as a phantom serial killer emerges in the dark alleys. Police investigator Lukas Smolak, desperate to locate the culprit (a copycat of Jack the Ripper), turns to Viktor and the doctors at Hrad Orlu for their expertise with the psychotic criminal mind. And Viktor finds himself wrapped up in a case more terrifying than he could have ever imagined. 20e siècle Historique Roman policier Thrillers et romans à suspense Crime Fiction Meurtre Intéressant Effrayant Suspense

I thoroughly enjoyed the idea and story behind this book. It was very interesting and kept me mostly on the edge of my seat however something I can’t quite put my finger on turned me off of the narrators performance. I found myself tuning out of the audiobook and switching to the e book whenever I had the chance. Overall though a pretty good experience

Amazing story, great twist

It was great. But it was also an unreliable narrator story. I hate those. I always feel cheated. Yeah, the payoff sucked big time, but the story up to that point was excellent, and beautifully written.
I remember feeling so furious when I first read/listened to this one, the ending bothered me so much. But it wasn't as bad the second time around, because you could see how much care the author took in setting it up.

great, but
