This audiobook is brilliantly narrated by David Pittu. Even though he is excellent with the male characters, his female voice is not up to the standard. He was articulate and clear as one can be without making weird and annoying mouth noises.

Then, a serial killer emerges, and parents and children start to panic. The young daughter from the family is also visibly shaken.
