Acerca de esta escucha

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?

Lo que los oyentes dicen sobre Stranger

Con calificación alta para:

The Story Revolves Around A Clever But Morally Dubious Concept Of A "murder Swap" App Inspired By The Strangers On A Train Premise, Allowing People To Trade Murders. While The Unique Modern Approach And Suspenseful Twists Are Praised, The Story Is Criticized For Its Unrealistic Plot Points, Predictability, And Unlikable Main Characters. The Tale Explores Dark Themes Of Crime, Moral Ambiguity, And The Potential Dangers Of Technology Through A Twisted, Darkly Humorous Lens. Overall, Reviewers Are Divided On The Execution, With Some Finding It Gripping And Others Put Off By Weak Elements.

Delightful

At the video theory, beginning, I was slightly annoyed with the narrators, youthful tones, but as the book progressed, I realized how important he was to the whole story. I give him an A+. The story is fabulous a couple of hours of pure enjoyment. Thank you.

Sample First

Sample first before purchasing! one of the primary characters could really make you hate listening to this audiobook. The story is great and the ending was was the perfect touch. One character almost made this unbearable to listen too. I understood what was supposed to happen with his tone, but it felt like watching that one kid that thinks they are talented, but really aren't. Perhaps, the narrator was auditioning. Hated one voice, but loved the story.

The story was great, the only thing that took me out of the story was the character voices,
