Captivating. Great story
I couldn't put it down it was so good! The narrators were fantastic and told the story really well. Characters are very well developed and the story was intriguing and full of surprises. I can see it in the big screen. Highly recommend 👌

I made the mistake of starting this at 9pm on a Saturday night while my sick toddler slept on my chest. I played that fun just one more chapter game with myself and before I knew it, it was 2am in the morning and my brain was buzzing with the need to know how this ends but also scared to go to sleep incase a nut bag breaks into my house and tries to pop out my eye balls.
I don't usually like before and now books because they have been done to death and really badly at that but this one was fantastic. The way the diary was written and the characters in it had a real Stephen King feel to it. I absolutely loved loved loved the diary story.

Great Story
Great story. Beautifully read. Main characters are well developed. Enough humour to counterbalance the violence.

Great listen and an original plot
It took a few chapters to fall into the rhythm of the story but when I found it, boy did the story take off.
An original plot with unusual depth. Where the author found these characters and their stories is anyone’s guess and don’t expect Barker to hold back on graphic details victims endure at the hands of a truely twisted protagonist. It was not until I listened to Barkers follow up work The Fifth To Die that I fully realised the brilliance of character Anson Bishop and in particular his diary - the fact that Barker pulled this off and made it so believable has me in awe.
This Audible title has been my most liked to date (can you tell?), and the follow up didn’t disappoint either. Well written, and edited (if you read my other reviews you will see poor editing is a bug bare of mine), it set a reasonable pace, the characters were believable and Barker left enough for the listener to hypothesise about characters for themselves.
It was a pleasure to listen to The Fourth Monkey, and to soak in every detail/hint/clue the author provided, instead ‘binge listening’ in an effort to end the suspense.
My hope is that Barker continues to write for grown ups and that he does not choose the path of least resistance and begin dumbing down his cracking tales.
If done right, this would be an awesome movie.
Shout out to the narrator who made the childhood diary of Anson Bishop sooo believable, and who never got in the way of a good story.

Awesome. narration and story line.
best out of 50 odd audio books I have listened to so far. If you are after a gripping story with twist and turns I would highly recommend this book.

Too unbelievable
This was a very disappointing book. The premise on which the actions of the main criminal character were based were so gory and violent and so unlikely to occur as to make the whole book unbelievable. I wanted to stop reading many times but thought I should get to the end to be fair to the author. I’d say more but don’t want to spoil it for those who might still want to read it. Suffice to say I was left with more questions than answers and won’t be reading anything else by this author. I’m just sorry I wasted my time listening to this.
