About this listen
The first in an explosive trilogy of thrillers from Michael Marshall. This book takes the serial-killer book ands adds a chilling new dimension, combining pace, narrative and a genuinely disturbing conspiracy story.
Sarah tries to struggle, but the man holds her. The scream never makes it out of her throat. 'Nobody watching,' the man says with hateful calm. 'I made it this way. I can walk where nobody sees.’
Sarah Becker is the fifth girl to be abducted by this maniac. Judging from the state of the bodies that have been found, her long hair will be hacked off and she will be tortured. She has about a week to live.
Former LA homicide detective John Zandt has an inside track on the perpetrator – his own daughter was one of his victims two years ago.
But the key to Sarah's whereabouts lies with Ward Hopkins, a man with a past so secret not even he knows about it. His parents have just died in a car accident, but they leave Ward a bizarre message that leads him to question everything he once believed to be true.
As he begins to investigate his own past Ward finds himself drawn into the shadowy, sinister world of the Straw Men – and into the desperate race to find Sarah, before her time runs out

Very Exciting
What did you like most about The Straw Men?
It's very exciting, there is always something going on that has you gripped
What did you like best about this story?
I loved the fact it always kept you guessing and the story goes in a way you would never think. And at first i thought i would not like the narrator but when he was reading the different characters i could sware there was more than 1 person reading, at one point i had to check how many people where narrating, he was good
Any additional comments?
I know this book is only 3 hours long but it's well worth a listen. I have read this book twice now and it's still just as good the second time round. So if you like your crime books, i would recommend this strange but good book.

Paperback or kindle is best
I read the paperback many years ago and thought I’d try the audio, it is not the full version, beware when buying audiobooks that you are getting full book , as I ended up using 3 credits for 1 book that was broken down into smaller ones. 5 star for kindle and paperback, 0 for audio version. Had to give 1 star for each but if there was an option for 0, that would have been 0 across the board.
