About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
The chilling serial killer thriller from the co-host of chart-topping podcast Morbid.
Wren was never afraid of the dark.
Until she learnt that some monsters are real...
In deep Louisiana, a serial killer with a taste for medical experimentation is completing his most ambitious project yet. The media call him 'The Butcher'—and, so far, he's proved impossible to catch.
With her encyclopedic knowledge of humanity's darkest minds, and years of experience examining their victims, forensic pathologist Dr Wren Muller is the best there is. The longer the Butcher's killing spree continues, the more determined she is to bring him to justice. And yet, he continues to elude her.
As body after body pile up on Wren's examination table, her obsession grows. Pressure to put an end to the slaughter mounts. And her enemy becomes more brazen.
How far is Wren willing to go to draw the Butcher into the light?
An addictive listen with straight-from-the-morgue details only an autopsy technician could provide, The Butcher and the Wren promises to ensnare all who enter.

"Can a medical examiner outsmart a serial killer? The Butcher and the Wren will keep you waiting for an answer until the last bloody page. Prepare to be disturbed. A deliciously dark debut." (Rea Frey, bestselling author for Not Her Daughter and Secrets of Our House)

Captivating read
Fellow morbid listener here, this book delivered on everything I expected from Alaina (being an autopsy tech and detail oriented person). It was a great read finished in a day without pausing. I thought I knew the twist when it turned out to be something else entirely. Can’t wait for the encore!

Riveting!
Great story. I listened to it in one sitting.
Alaina sets the scene so well, allowing the reader/listener to truly feel the story.
Looking forward to book 2!

Great first book
As a first book Alaina killed it. Can’t wait to read each new book as they come out and come along for the ride as they just get better and better.

The story was well told with twists, turns to keep you on the edge of your seat. I’m counting down the days until the next novel.
