Publisher Description

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

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 read with straight-from-the-morgue details only an autopsy technician could provide, The Butcher and the Wren promises to ensnare all who enter.

Bombbbbb book

I do not have much time to read. I work full time, have a side hustle, I’m a mom and a wife. With that being said, I’m a big fan of Morbid, so I decided I’d finally get around to reading this book on a day my kiddo was sick. Oh. My. Goddddd! I couldn’t put it down. I read it in 2 days. I cannot wait for the next book !!!

A true crime listeners perfect read!

I was hesitant at first to purchase because of some of the negative reviews. I realized the only reason there were negative reviews was due to being annoyed that there isn’t a second book yet. That obviously means it’s bound to be a great read if people are yearning for more to come. I love Morbid, listening to true crime, and suspenseful books, and this really hit all the boxes for me. I could barely set the book down!

I need more!!!

I love the podcast Morbid and when I heard that Alaina had written a book I was immediately down to read it. It kept me captivated and when I turned the page and there was nothing left I was so disappointed. I wanted there to be more and can’t wait for the next one.
