Summary

Russell Walker retreats from the shock of his wife's death by becoming a hermit in the woods of British Columbia. There he finds himself thrust into a precarious role as intermediary between a telepath called Smelly, so sensitive he can't stand to be near most people, and Constable Hilda, a skeptical police officer who needs Smelly's insight to track down a monstrous serial killer.

Very Good Story

If you are looking for a simple engaging story, with lots of winding digressions, this is for you. Give it a go I found it amazing and will be looking for other works by this author

Scary & deep

Don’t listen if you don’t want horrible dreams
But great listen if you like fantastic characters

Don't hesitate, just read it.

It made me laugh, it engrossed me and Spider sounds like Alan Alda, kinda.

Amazingly well written and performed

I’d never have even thought of listening to such a story, if it hadn’t been free with membership, and with me being listening to random rubbish to pass the time. This was a totally different class. I must say that if it hadn’t been so well written and performed, I’m sure I would never have listened to the end, but as it was, I was captivated

What an excellent audiobook!

I borrowed this audiobook because of the high scores by readers and I’m so glad I did. It was a really unusual plot which drew me in quickly and kept my attention. The author has a colourful way of describing people and events which I found very funny. The narration was great too. This was my first experience with this author but it definitely won’t be my last.

Great Audiobook

I tend to avoid audiobooks read by the author but not only a great author but a great narrator. This story had me in the first few sentences captivated right to the end. I will be hunting down more books by Spider.
