About this listen
From the co-host of chart-topping true crime podcast Morbid, a thrilling debut novel told from the dueling perspectives of a notorious serial killer and the medical examiner following where his trail of victims leads
Something dark is lurking in the Louisiana bayou: a methodical killer with a penchant for medical experimentation is hard at work completing his most harrowing crime yet, taunting the authorities who desperately try to catch up.
But forensic pathologist Dr. Wren Muller is the best there is. Armed with an encyclopedic knowledge of historical crimes, and years of experience working in the Medical Examiner's office, she's never encountered a case she couldn't solve. Until now. Case after case is piling up on Wren's examination table, and soon she is sucked into an all-consuming cat-and-mouse chase with a brutal murderer getting more brazen by the day.
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.

Phenomenal
I may have had some bias coming into this story, as I am a HUGE fan of Morbid. But this book blew me away. I was hooked into the characters by the end of chapter 2. I have completely binge listened this entire book in a day. “ could not put down” as they say.
It is so well written, with great plot twists and development of such complex and fascinating characters. I cannot wait for more

Highly recommend
This book had me on the edge!! I’m normally someone who can pick plots, but Alaina!! As an OG morbid listener from the underwater days.. I had to support, but I’m over the moon I did!! This book gave me chills and they multiplied throughout the book! The references to our good old wet lettuce big bad’s and the accuracy when portraying body decomposition! This book is mint!

It took me an absolute minute to readjust my timeline when it was revealed that Emily's story was 7 years earlier but holy damn! What a story! Thank you so much for always entertaining me! Sorry I'm late to the game of reading your amazing book (kids, right?!) and I cannot wait for the next one!! We all love you! (From Australia)

Love a good twist!
Alaina’s writing helps you picture, feel, hear and smell the scene; you are completely transported. I love a good twist and love it even more when I don’t guess it too early: Fabulous!
Enjoyed the narration.
