Book description
Audiobook Review - "An Evil Mind" by Chris Carter
From the first spoken word of this gripping audio thriller you can feel the pulse quickening. The narrator's clear, steady delivery paints a vivid picture of Los Angeles streets and Wyoming's desolate plains, letting the listener walk alongside Detective Robert Hunter as he unravels a web of deception that stretches across the country. Carter's pacing is flawless - each chapter ends on a cliff-hanger that makes you want to press play again without even realizing it.
What sets this audiobook apart is how the voice work brings the characters' emotional scars into sharp focus. Hunter's haunted tone, tinged with his own past trauma, creates an immediate sense of authenticity. The suspect's sinister calm, delivered by a different narrator, keeps you guessing whether he is a mastermind or merely a pawn in a larger game. Carter's dialogue feels natural; it never reads like a script but instead sounds like real conversations between people who have spent their lives on the edge.
The story itself is a masterclass in suspense, reminiscent of Thomas Harris' Silence of the Lambs, as Booklist noted. The plot twists are well-timed and the revelations - especially the true identity of the elusive killer - hit with a satisfying jolt. Carter's research shines through; each forensic detail and psychological insight feels grounded in reality, which heightens the tension.
Listening to this book is like being on a roller coaster that never stops: you're taken from the calm of a rural sheriff's office into the frantic urgency of an FBI investigation, then back again as Hunter delves deeper into his own demons. The audiobook keeps you breathless, just as the Sunday Times praised it - a true "roller-coaster ride" that will leave you eager for more.
If you enjoy thrillers that combine gritty crime investigation with deep psychological exploration, An Evil Mind is an excellent addition to your audio library. It's a compelling, fast-paced listen that will keep you guessing until the very last word.
