About this listen

Welcome to Kingsland ...

The most desirable place to live. The world’s safest country. Until now.

Funded by the U.S. Reparations Act and a consortium of billionaires, Kingsland rose from the sea to become a haven for Black excellence—and one of the richest nations in the world. But as its 10th anniversary nears, a series of shocking murders rocks the island.

Enter Jamison Wright. An elite profiler lured away from the FBI with an offer no one could refuse: a new life in Kingsland for him and his family. But the deeper he digs into the killings, the more he realizes that Kingsland isn’t just a utopia—it’s a mystery wrapped in surveillance, secrets, and power plays far beyond his imagination.

As Kingsland preps for its 10th anniversary celebration, Jamison must race against time to unmask a killer hiding in the most secure place on Earth. But in a nation where privacy barely exists, one question haunts him: If Kingsland sees everything, why can’t it find a murderer?

A gripping thriller set in a world as captivating as it is dangerous, Kingsland is a story of ambition, secrecy, identity, and the price of paradise.

Didn't expect much when I started this audio book but wow, it's really good! Easy to follow and interesting twists. Kept me entertained from the start to the end. The length was great, doesn't drag and story flows. Performance made it feel like watching a movie without the visuals. Loved it...

What a surprise!

This isn't my usual type of listen / read, I was so 🙀 surprised at to how much I enjoyed this.
The premise, "world" building, characters and choice of vouce actors are just perfection.
I've never thought about so many concepts in this, for instance, I've never considered "african Americans" could be racist. Like, its so in your face on a daily basis as to how racist caucasians are, it's never really sat for a long period in my mind to think about (I'm trying to word this politically correct) racism toward caucasians from other races. This short narrative is not inly fun, interesting, well thoight out, but so very thought provacing, listen 👂 you won't be disappointed

Immensely Entertaining and educational and very thought provacing.

I found the story's pace to be ideally suited to an audio production. The plot was intricate enough to keep me engaged and entertained from the start till the end. The voice acting was clearly spoken and the characters were easy to imagine and relate to.
An excellent production and well worth a listen

an excellent presentation

I had high hopes of a more balanced view on race relations, but this sorry just leans one way! I though everyone was over color segregation! Very disappointing….!

Don’t bother.
