The Butcher by Jennifer Hillier
4.0
dark tense fast-paced
Diverse cast of characters: Yes


This book was published 10 years ago and the story still holds up and Hillier knows how to write a gripping thriller. 

I always appreciate a book that has a POV of the villan and we learn this pretty early on in the story and it does not stop you from wanting to how the story ends. 

Matt moves into his grandfather's home while the Chief moves to an assistant living home. Matt does not offer Sam to move in and their relationship starts to strain with this and Matt's priorities with his restaurant. 

Matt discovers a family secret and it spirals from the multiple POV and narrators of Chris Henry Coffey, Corey Brill, Raquel Beattie and Zac Aleman really brought the tension to life. My only complaint is that one of the narrators pronounced Adobo wrong which plays a big part in the story. 

There were so many twists that I didn't see coming. I highly recommend this one. 

Thank you @gallerybooks @simon.audio for a copy of the book and audiobook.
