About this listen
He didn’t kill them, he didn’t rape them, he didn’t torture them; his crime was far, far worse.
Three women go missing without trace. A week is enough for the psychopath known in the press as the 'the Soul-Breaker' to destroy them. By the seventh day the women are psychologically dead, like bodies without a soul.
Shortly before Christmas, the Soul-Breaker strikes again, this time in an exclusive psychiatric clinic. The clinic has been cut off by a snowstorm, and the Soul-Breaker is in their midst. Trapped in the clinic, staff and patients band together to protect each other, but in a night of unimaginable terror, the Soul-Breaker shows them that no one is safe.

Think of it like a cheezy B-class movie...
I have every one of Sebastian Fitzek's available audiobooks, single narration as well as the multi-narrated performances. I was very excited to find out there was a new title released and immediately purchased it, but I have mixed feelings about this one.
First, the performance, as the other three that audible studios has produced, was 5 star amazing. I love the concept of adding music and sound effects when done correctly. And I've grown so fond of Robert Glenister voicing the main narrator that it almost feels like tradition.
However, in this instance, the story becomes do over the top that it's really hard to suspend your disbelief enough to get past it. At least in my case it was. There was some major eye rolling going on toward the end on my part. But it started out strong and the entire package still makes it worth the listen. You just have to go into it with a really open mind... like when you're watching a cheezy B-class horror flick.

Addicted...
I am not really surprised to see 4 stars on reviews of Fitzek’s unique writings. I just finished 8 in succession... everything translated to English, thus far. These productions are psychological jigsaw puzzles. The more publications you listen too, the more adept you come in not being a nervous wreck and just putting it down. I started wit Amok and have not stopped. There is a cadence to the thrill/shock/guesswork if you read as many as you dare. Fitzek makes it hard to go back to my favorite suspect/detective authors. f you can not appreciate the mindset and follow Fitzek’s expertly woven tales, you surely would not give perfect ratings However, I dare you to slight the stage quality narrations and dramatizations!

This was a waste of a credit and certainly not worth $20.
At the end I was like 'that's it??' The narrator was good, just wish he had more of an interesting story to tell.

Fingers on a Chalkboard
Just don't !!!! This was terrible! The story was flat at best. Characters not even one-dimensional. My dog could have come up with a better plot. Performance was terrible - the worst I have ever heard. The sound effects were like fingers on a chalkboard. Even if they had been well done, and they were absolutely not, they would have been distracting. The grunts and sounds of exertion during fights and the like sound more like someone who is constipated rather than fighting. When you combine a crappy story with terrible sound effects ... just don't.
