Dramatic and dark, with an immersive—and dare we say killer SFX soundscape that will have you checking the windows and bolting the doors at night—Killer by Nature is a gripping psychological thriller that puts you on the trail of a psychopath. Katherine Kelly (Mr Selfridge) and Rob James-Collier (Downton Abbey) head an all-star cast from the UK that includes Thomas Turgoose (This Is England ‘90), Angela Griffin (Cutting It), and Will Mellor (No Offence).

In this Audible Original production by Jan Smith, Kelly is utterly convincing and riveting as Dr. Diane Buckley, the forensic psychologist sent to interview Alfred Dinklage, The Playground Killer. She is well-matched by the unnerving performance of James-Collier as a serial killer—the man can make nursery rhymes sound sinister and creepy.

It’s up to Buckley to figure out if she is dealing with a serial killer who can seemingly walk through prison walls or a copycat determined to carry out Dinklage’s violent legacy. Not only must Buckley navigate the crime scenes, and correctly read the clues concealed there, but to learn the truth she also must enter the twisted and terrifying mind of Dinklage, and wonder if serial killers are born or made.
