Beartown is a small town in a large Swedish forest. For most of the year it is under a thick blanket of snow, experiencing the kind of cold and dark that brings people closer together - or pulls them apart. Its isolation means that Beartown has been slowly shrinking with each passing year. But now the town is on the verge of an astonishing revival. A bright new future is just around the corner. Until the day it is all put in jeopardy by a single, brutal act. It divides the town into those who think it should be hushed up and forgotten, and those who'll risk the future to see justice done.

Lucy Hutton and Joshua Templeman sit across from each other every day...and they hate each other. Not dislike. Not begrudgingly tolerate. Hate. Lucy can't understand Joshua's joyless, uptight approach to his job and refusal to smile. Joshua is clearly baffled by Lucy's overly bright clothes, quirkiness, and desire to be liked. Now they're up for the same promotion, and Lucy, usually a determined people pleaser, has had enough: it's time to take him down. But as the tension between Lucy and Joshua reaches its boiling point, it's clear that the real battle has only just begun....

Stella Lane thinks math is the only thing that unites the universe. She comes up with algorithms to predict customer purchases - a job that has given her more money than she knows what to do with as well as way less experience in the dating department than the average 30-year-old. It doesn't help that she has Asperger's and that French kissing reminds her of a shark getting its teeth cleaned by pilot fish. She decides that she needs lots of practice - with a professional - which is why she hires escort Michael Phan.

Publisher's Summary
Cult horror director Stanislas Cordova hasn't been seen in public since 1971. When his daughter Ashley is found dead in a believed suicide, journalist Scott McGrath is not convinced. For McGrath, another death connected to the legendary director seems more than a coincidence. Driven by revenge, curiosity and a need for the truth, he finds himself pulled into a hypnotic, disorientating world which begins to threaten his grip on reality.

literary masterpiece mystery
What did you love best about Night Film?
It wasn't until the book was finished that I truly appreciated it for what it was: a literary masterpiece. The prose was sublime, never overblown with self importance, but succinct and perfect in it's short descriptive phrases. It was not a thriller or a suspense novel but it was a true mystery which in itself was really never resolved except in it's telling, so beautifully by the author and brilliantly told by Jake Weber.
Who was your favorite character and why?
My favourite character was Cordova who changed in the telling from horrific murderer, to loving father and back again and was always a mystery, remaining so.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I was transformed by this book, rather than moved, much like the main character, McGrath, who the story was narrated through, and everybody who came in contact with Cordova. The story hooked me, more and more, as I listened until the end, which, although unresolved was nevertheless complete.
Any additional comments?
I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys really good writing and an intelligent mystery. Not your everyday paperback thriller !!

Completely gripping
Completely gripping. Whatever faults her first novel had - so overwritten one couldn't forget someone had written it - are not on show here. The pace is immensely fast for such a big novel and the tone as fleet as it is dark. Jake Weber needs to read more audiobooks. I would now listen to another just for him alone. A low, expressive voice, perfectly paced. If you read this novel as well as listen to it, download the free app from itunes - like a series of dvd extras of music and audio, it extends what is already an epically good read. This is a real treat. Has - impossible to imagine, I know - Danielewski's House of Leaves made it to Audible. This is a near-cousin to it.

enthralling
Perfect story. This is a detective -investigative piece. intriguing throughout, the main three characters provide a wonderful balance of hard boiled detective, streetwise kid and iNgenue. The story brings us on a tour of New yorks underbelly . Nothing is certain. Every encounter is fascinating. I could not reccomend this more

Riveting
This Audiobook is close enough to being 24 hours long, which normally could put me off. But I could have carried on listening to this for a further 24 hours quite happily. The characters, the tone, the story, everything had me so gripped that I can easily say that this was one of the best audiobook I have listened to so far. And my library is fairly extensive. Full marks from me, oh and the narrator is excellent too.

Very enjoyable
I liked how the story progressed through the investigation of clues by the main characters leading to new revelations. The book was well written and the looming figure of Cordova sufficiently mysterious to want to find more about. There is a long chapter towards the end which does not fit well together with the rest of the book. I also liked the very open ending.
The only negative was the substandard narrator and especially with some characters who all appeared to be speaking really slowly and like they were suffering from some kind of disability. With a different narrator I would have enjoyed this book even more. Highly recommended!

Should have been half the length, poor naratation.
Is there anything you would change about this book?
The narration should have been more Mickey Spillane really.The plot does not justify the length,it was a relief to get to the end.
If you’ve listened to books by Marisha Pessl before, how does this one compare?
I believe this her first book, its a promising start.There were parts that were excellent.
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
I think the narration let it done somewhat,maybe i have been spoilt just finished listening to 8 Jo Nesbo books read by Sean Barrett.
If this book were a film would you go see it?
If the actors were exceptionally
Any additional comments?
It didn't leave me with feeling of wanting more,or trying to find more from the writer.As i mentioned just finished a Jo Nesbo run and prior to that Steig Larrson, somayhave been a little spoiled

Night Film - not bad but not great either
Would you try another book written by Marisha Pessl or narrated by Jake Weber?
Might do
What could Marisha Pessl have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
storyline went on to long & some parts were just daft
Did Jake Weber do a good job differentiating each of the characters? How?
Narration was good would given up if it wasn't for jake
What character would you cut from Night Film?
Not sure but main characters were ok
Any additional comments?
No
