Decent suspense story but...
Slightly turgid prose and poor narration just didn't do it justice. Always difficult having an adult do a child's voice but this one also had an Australia twang. The main adult voice was flat and did nothing to engage the listener.

Predictably OK
I found this was best listened to at a 1.20% speed as original recording is somewhat slow paced.
I loved the character Louis Drax, but felt the book lost it's way somewhat and shifted from more the Drs perspective which was far less entertaining. I kept expecting a plot twist or major drama but it all seemed quite predictable which left me disappointed.

Not bad
Liz Jensen writes some unusual thrillers, with compelling characters. This story is well narrated and so easy to listen, it's an ideal listen for a long flight. Quite gripping and probably more meaningful than most thrillers out there.
