Synopsis

Felix Pink is retired. Widowed for more than a decade and a painfully literal thinker, he has led a life of routine and is, not unhappily, waiting to die a hopefully boring death. He occupies himself volunteering as an Exiteer?someone who sits with terminally ill people as they die by suicide, assisting with logistics and lending moral support, then removing the evidence so that family and friends are not implicated in the death. When Felix lets himself into Number 3 Black Lane, hes there to perform an act of kindness and charity: to keep a dying man company as he takes his final breath.But just fifteen minutes later, Felix is on the run from the police?after making the biggest mistake of his life. Now his routine world is turned upside down as he tries to discover whether what went wrong was a simple mistake?or deliberate, a murder.With a novel that is part murder mystery, part coming-of-old-age story?however short that future may beBelinda Bauer continues to redefine the boundaries of crime fiction. With the compassion and dark humor of Jonas Jonasson and the twisted thriller plotting of Rear Window, Exit is a novel listeners will not soon forget.

Goodreads review by Yun on April 06, 2021

Exit grabbed me with its premise of assisted suicide gone wrong, but it didn't quite turn out the way I was hoping. Felix is an old man past his prime. He doesn't have much going on, but he is part of a small organization of like-minded individuals who help those suffering at the end of life find a w......more

Goodreads review by Nilufer on November 20, 2020

Do you know how thick wood sounds when it hits the wall! I know exactly how it sounds! That’s my thick head makes this awful sound! It deserves to be hurt because my wasted grey cells haven’t noticed how a Belinda Bauer wrote amazing books before! That’s my first waltz with the author and I’m so sor......more

Goodreads review by Baba on August 26, 2021

Felix is 75 years old, and lives for being an Exiteer. Exiteer is not a place in Devon where this story is set; an Exiteer is a volunteer that watches over people with terminal conditions who have decided to take their own lives, all within the law. When Felix, and his newest Exiteer partner Amanda,......more
