Summary
I was the girl who survived the Nothing Man. Now I am the woman who is going to catch him....
You've just read the opening lines of The Nothing Man, the true-crime memoir Eve Black has written about her obsessive search for the man who killed her family nearly two decades ago.
Supermarket security guard Jim Doyle is reading it too, and with each turn of the page his rage grows. Because Jim was - is - the Nothing Man.
The more Jim reads, the more he realises how dangerously close Eve is getting to the truth. He knows she won't give up until she finds him. He has no choice but to stop her first....

Felt like I'd already read it
The first podcast I ever listened to was Evil Has a Name, detailing the crimes and protracted attempt to catch the Golden State Killer. It was an excellent podcast, but knowing so much about that case really took the shine off this book for me. The details of the crimes are barely fictional. I found myself googling "Is the Nothing Man based on the Golden State Killer" about a third of the way through, and the fact that it is made a lot of sense of why so much was familiar. I really wish I could have listened naive to that case, because I think the concept of this book is so different to the average crime novel and the crimes would have held much more horror, suspense and disbelief without having heard them before. The author still had to build a rich inner life of the characters, as the majority of the book takes place inside their heads, exploring the feelings, recollections and motivations of the two main characters - Eve and Jim.
Nonetheless, the performances were good and it was an enjoyable listen. If it isn't a case you're familiar with, then I think the novelty of the format will be a really refreshing difference to standard crime fiction. But if it is, prepare yourself to recognise a lot of it already.

Good read, story told from an unusual perspective.
The subject matter is one which has been the subject of many books but here it is told from a very unusual perspective

A book within a book
What a great read and such a fresh concept. The narrators really brought the characters to life, and as the story is set in Ireland the accents were spot on. Eve was the only member of her family to survive The Nothing Man serial killer. Having grown up she writes a novel about her experiences and the killer as a means of trying to solve the mystery of who he is. Excerpts from her book form part of the storyline and I really enjoyed this format. I definite ‘keep you up all night book’! Highly recommended.

Best book in ages
Loved this book, I couldn't wait to get back to it. It was a bit scary too. The narrators did a fabulous job.

loved it
The story had me gripped. The female narrator's style is a bit like listening to a news reader, and at times it's irritating. The ending is a little predictable, you see it coming long before the end of the book, but still a very enjoyable listen.

Failed to hold attention
I struggled to get into this book. It simply did not hold my attention. The graphic descriptions of the crimes were plausible but the overall story just did not excite me as a thriller. I may have been influenced by the irritating female narrator. The lilting voice was simply not in keeping with a thriller/crime novel. Couldn’t wait to finish it so I could start listening to my next audible.

Gripping
I don’t usually do crime novels, so perhaps this felt like a new story and approach to me, but I thought it was excellent.

great story - slightly irritating narration
Quite a different take on a crime thriller, I enjoyed getting it direct from the killers perspective 20 years on. Probably better to read the physical copy than listen, however I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The female narrator sing song voice is a little off-putting.

Entertaining
Good story, was a bit rushed at the end but overall, good. Some gripping bits and then by contrast, some gaping holes in the plot. The woman reader was really robotic, it was a relief when the man took back over!
