Resumen del Editor

From Ben H. Winters, author of the Last Policeman trilogy, The Quiet Boy, and the Audible Originals Q&A and Self Help, comes a new crime story—a darkly comedic thriller, a wicked satire of our contemporary digital lives, and a loving homage to Patricia Highsmith’s iconic Strangers on a Train.

Meet Harry, aspiring tech entrepreneur. He’s a would-be Steve Jobs trapped in a cubicle gig at an angel investor firm, so close and yet so far from his dreams. His marriage is foundering, his career is stalled out, and all he wants is to create an app like Uber, or Tinder, something to make real change in the world, and change his own life forever.

Now meet Peter, a deeply troubled computer genius who lives in a basement apartment, chugging red wine, nursing old grudges and writing code.

When Harry meets Peter, it’s both of their lives that will change, when they invent an app for murder: you post your desired target, I post mine, and if we make a match we both carry out the other’s killing. Stranger is an instant success, and Harry’s dreams have come true…but at what cost?

good short story

I enjoyed this. Great twist at the end, I didn't see it coming. I do recommend this one.

Interesting story

Would have been better if the app had just been a front that Amy created. An app for murder is just too far fetched.

Pretty good little tale

Very much like stranger on the train but with an app. Makes me want to watch the original movie

cool short story

Though it's just a short book, it feels longer (but in a good way) cause of the way its written. Some things might click a little too easy, but in general it's a cool story with a nice twist. The narration was excellently done, and each character felt alive. 5 stars all the way

Nice ending.

Almost stopped listening because of the Peter character’s voice, but glad I stuck it out. Plot twist was excellent.

Suspenseful up to a point

With the Environment of Early Radio Dramas like The Shadow, Winters has created a relatively suspenseful Tale. But it also has the breathless quality that probably appealed to the Old Folks hooked on Radio Soap Operas.

Once the Highsmith story was introduced as a Plot Device the jig was up. From there on, it was just a matter of time before the loose ends were tied up and the suspense was gone. Sorry, another Audible Original fail. 😰

Three Stars for Style, Four for Performance. ***

Fantastic narration

I often have a hard time listening to men narrate women voices and vice versa, but this guy was great! I also loved the story!

We reap what we sow?

Author laid out the story to slide to the inevitable ending.
The story the danger of greed & ego.

Shocking ending

Loved the premise. And it was great how they referenced Patricia Highsmith. I for one have many reasons to subscribe to that app…
