About this listen
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Thomas Harris’ legendary best-seller, Audible presents The Silence of the Lambs, with a new introduction written and read by the author himself.
An FBI trainee. A psychopath locked up for unspeakable crimes. And a serial killer getting ever closer to his latest victim...
Seeking insight into the deadly madman she must find, FBI rookie Clarice Starling turns to Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a monster cannibal held in a hospital for the criminally insane. As Dr. Lecter invites Clarice into the darkest chambers of his mind, he forces her to confront her own childhood demons in return for knowledge; an unspeakable tuition he exacts to teach her how the monster thinks. But time is running out…
An instant classic of chilling psychological suspense, The Silence of the Lambs will take you from the tormenting words of a homicidal maniac and the flesh-rending depravity of an elusive killer to the sheer courage of a young FBI novice, who risks her life to track him down and stop the bloodshed.
A native of Mississippi, Thomas Harris began his writing career covering crime in the United States and Mexico, and was a reporter and editor for the Associated Press in New York City. His first novel, Black Sunday, was published in 1975, followed by Red Dragon in 1981, The Silence of the Lambs in 1988, Hannibal in 1999, and Hannibal Rising in 2006.
All the Hannibal Lecter books have been made into films, most notably starring Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster. Sky has also produced a television series based on the notorious mass murderer, starring Mads Mikkelsen, Laurence Fishburne and Hugh Dancy.

"The great fictional monster of our time" (Stephen King)
"A huge talent" (Ian Rankin)
"The best book I've read in a very long time. Subtle, horrific and splendid" (Roald Dahl)
"Thrillers don't come any better than this. Razor-sharp entertainment, beautifully constructed and brilliantly written. It takes us to places in the mind where few writers have the talent or sheer nerve to venture." (Clive Barker)
"A snapshot from hell" ( Rolling Stone)
"A virtual textbook on the craft of suspense" ( Washington Post)"

A Classic of the genre
Wonderful to listen to this some 30 years or so since originally reading it and seeing the movie. It still resonates, an all time classic.

Narrator sounds
Loved the book. My only complaint is there seemed to be this humming/buzzing in the background of the narrator constantly! It bugged me a lot at the start, but I guess I got used it to. Just wanting to let people know.

An all round superb piece of entertainment
Great story, great presentation.
I read this book many years ago and I've seen the film ten odd times but I still hung on every word. I was quite emotional by the end. Best $5 I've ever spent

If you love the movie you will love the book
You know a book is great when they literally take the book and turn into a movie and change hardly anything.

Great story, not so great audio
Thomas Harris is a fantastic story teller, and this book doesn’t disappoint. The narrator’s performance is good too. My only issue is with the sound editing, which is a bit patchy at times.

An excellent reading of an excellent book
Frank Muller really did a wonderful job catching the nuances of the characters. They were easily distinguishable and true to nature. I am especially a fan of his Lecter voice. Spot on.
The story itself will always be my favourite.
