About this listen

Based on the bestselling Audible Original by Anthony Khaseria, THE RATCATCHER is a thrilling police drama for fans of Joy Ellis and Michael Wood.

It's been twelve weeks since Dresden Commissioner Paula Beyer was sent to the small town of Freidorf to investigate the disappearance of several teenagers. Now she is sitting opposite a psychologist who is tasked with figuring out whether Paula's statements about the case are true, or whether she needs to be suspended until further notice.

While Paula believes that the young people were kidnapped by someone mimicking the legend of the Pied Piper of Hamelin, her colleagues believe that Paula is indulging in a fantasy and endangering the investigation.If Paula wants to stop the perpetrator, she has to convince the psychologist of her version of the story. But the longer the conversation goes on, the more Paula doubts herself…

When I initially read the synopsis I was sceptical however thoroughly enjoyed and loved the use of different voice actors!!! Kept me engaged all the way to the end.

One of the best audio dramas …

One of the best audio dramas I’ve heard recently. Engrossing story, original plot and genuinely surprising twist - which isn’t easy with the surfeit of this kind of drama.

Very enjoyable

Weird having it set in Germany but the people all spoke with Yorkshire accent. But regardless all performed excellently.
I really enjoyed the story but the police didn’t seem to follow any crime scene protocol or investigate obvious leads and just followed a theory which was odd. I presume they would investigate and look into theory not one the other

Amazing storytelling and a good plot twist.

The storytellers made the story really lifelike. There were sound effects and the characters were so well played, that the atmosphere came to life. It felt like I was actually there and the story was really good as well. The characters were interesting and I didn’t see the plot twist before I was in the middle of it and that never happens! I always know the plot twist and the stories ending, long before the end. I highly recommend this story!!!
