Belinda Bauer always writes books with a slightly different take on crime and this book is no exception. I fell in love with Felix from the first meeting and thought he was a superb character. It's very difficult to write a review without giving too much away. This books twists and turns and then double backs on itself. Every time you think you've cracked it, you'll be wrong. Despite its controversial theme, this is a book about love, courage and faith in your fellow man, (or woman). It left me feeling all warm inside and is definitely one of the loveliest books I've listened to in a long time. Tim McInnerny's narration is superb. A gem of a book

Felix Pink is seventy five, keeping himself to himself and on the run from the police. Felix is an Exiteer, a group of people who sit with terminally ill people, to witness and comfort, as they end their life. However, the wrong person has died, and the police are calling it murder. We pass between the police who are trying to solve the murder and Felix who is trying to ‘get away with it.’ Sort of. 👀 If you’re looking for on the edge of your seat thrillers, this isn’t for you, but if you like a solid mystery with excellent characters and a story with a big heart then pls read thank u hahah.

I don’t want to say too much more about what happens but instead say that this is such a heart-warming, lovely story with such a dark centre, I’ve never read anything by anyone else who can walk the line between light and dark. This book completely cemented Bauer as my new favourite author and Exit is one of my favourite books of the year. The audiobook was wonderful, so well narrated, and the narrators perfectly emphasised the sadness and the humour.

What a story! I wasn’t sure what I felt about the subject matter of witnessed suicide but i found it was tackled sensitively. When the team of exiteers find themselves in the unusual situation of the wrong man dying what will happen next?!
