About this listen
A serial killer is stalking the streets of Sydney, hell-bent on recreating scenes from the Fabrica, the 16th-century foundation text of modern European anatomy. His cold, methodical attacks have the city on edge, but the serial killer may not even be the darkest player in this story.
Desperate for a breakthrough, decorated homicide detective David Murphy draws into the case his art-historian sister, Joanna, and his wife, Sylvia. Unravelling the mystery of who is behind the killings pushes each beyond the limits of what they thought possible.
Meticulously researched, hugely ambitious and superbly crafted, The Tribute is a subversive take on modern masculinity and misogyny told through an irresistible crime narrative. Dark and unpredictable, chilling but sympathetic, it weaves a tapestry of narrative threads towards a mesmerising climax that will challenge the way you think about everyone you meet.

Gripping thriller with unexpected twists
This was an excellent book.
The story is fascinating, detailed and incredibly well researched, however it was never boring or difficult to follow. The different character viewpoints were really well done and the narrator carried these off effectively.
Different from many other crime novels is the underlying analysis of social issues.

Engaging
I ploughed through this one, Dorge as usual was brilliant. The story was engaging and tough to listen to on occasions. But a great read.

Wow just wow
I’m a big fan of crime/fiction and true crime stories, however this novel was next level drama & suspense with a strong message delivery against DV. Have to admit it triggered me a bit but nothing that hasn’t made me stronger.
I’ll be searching for more of Byrons novels now and forever!!

tell us what you really think!
A huge pile on against men in general. The main male character is portrayed as a way over the top mysogynist. This detracts from the story to a large extent and is unnecessary. If the author, John seems an odd name for a woman, wants to make a point about these things she should stick to twitter
