About this listen

From award-winning writer J D Kirk comes a blockbuster thriller for fans of Lisa Jewell and Sarah A Denzil, performed by Louise Brealey, featuring David Tennant.

Just because he sounds real, doesn’t mean he is…

When Sarah’s husband, Nick, is killed in a car accident, her world shatters. Facing a future without him seems impossible.

But maybe she doesn't have to.

When Sarah discovers EternaTech, the AI program Nick and his business partner have been working on in secret, she is given the chance to speak to Nick from beyond the grave.

It sounds like him. It feels like him…

As Sarah becomes consumed by her connection to this digital Nick, she begins uncovering secrets about his final days. But as she digs deeper, the lines between what's real and what isn't blur, and Sarah must confront a chilling, terrible truth.

Some things may be best left buried.

Disappointing

I had such high hopes as I absolutely love JD Kirk. This missed the mark though - irritating main character, predictable, far fetched and just - meh.
I wanted so much to love it!

Dragged

I couldn't finish this book. The premise was interesting, but the story dragged and got too boring to continue.

For those worried about AI

Loved listening to this and playing with the implications and of course Davis Tennant is always easy to listen to and Louisa did an awesome rendition of the ranges of her moods

OMG - WHAT A NOVEL!

I just could not stop listening .... way into the night.

It opened up a totally new chilling area of reality which should worry us all.
The plot was amazing - of course - as we have come to expect of this author. It is well thought out, convincing and gripping in its plot. The language is well chosen and well crafted
Narration by Brealey was perfect! The Incorporation of the male voice (David Tennant) added a further dimension to the created reality, adding to the believability of the plot.
Well done! A step away from the usual protagonists that JD Kirk produces, but a quality novel. Carry on up this path!

A slow burn with a hell of a twist

This story was incredible! I was dubious at first as the start is a slow burn and I wasn't sure what to expect, but the acting and storyline kept me enthralled, and the unexpected twists kept going to the end. Well worth listening to!

Unsettling and entirely possible fiction

The story line was believable even if fictional. The lead character annoyed me at times but she came good in the end. Narration was excellent. A change from the author’s Scottish Detective series which I love.
