The Carrier

De: Sophie Hannah

Narrado por: Elizabeth Sastre

An edge-of-your-seat novel from the phenomenal Sophie Hannah.

When her plane is delayed overnight, Gaby Struthers finds herself forced to share a hotel room with a stranger: a terrified young woman named Lauren Cookson - but why is she scared of Gaby in particular?

Lauren won't explain. Instead, she blurts out something about an innocent man going to prison for a murder he didn't commit, and Gaby soon suspects that Lauren's presence on her flight can't be a coincidence. Because the murder victim is Francine Breary, the wife of the only man Gaby has ever truly loved. Tim Breary has confessed, and even provided the police with evidence. The only thing he hasn't given them is a motive. He claims to have no idea why he murdered his wife....

Sophie Hannah, always interesting

The plot here was ridiculous, as Hannah's plots are getting to be. The Spilling police are becoming more of a joke than ever. Actually, this was almost a stand-alone book since the cops had so little to do with it. Liv and Briggs are still in their unlikely involvement, while Simon and Charlie's marriage is as inexplicable as ever. Yet I found this a thoroughly enjoyable book for some reason. Hannah just has that gift of creating interesting characters and putting them in situations where you are compelled to find out what happens. Maybe it is because it's all so absurd, but a Sophie Hannah "thriller" (hah) really is always worth reading.

Good story too much of the F word

I’ve listen to her stories where she’s picked up the gauntlet from Agatha Christie I thought she was a good writer. And Sophie is a good writer. However, the excessive use of the F word was really hard to listen to. When reading a book you can skip over it and it’s not in your face or rather your ears. It would be great if we had an option to remove the curse words from a book.

I only listened for E. Sastre

I’m not really following the story although it’s interesting when I pay attention. I am enthralled by Elizabeth Sastre. She caught my ear decades ago as Thursday Next and I would enjoy her reading the phone book….
I am impressed that she can handle ridiculous run-on sentences here too.

The best Sohie Hannah novel yet!

Loved the humor Elizabeth Sastre added to this brilliant mystery. Didn't want it to end.

Exceptional narration, involving story

Narrator was fantastic, one of my favorite audible performance ever. Typical Sophie Hannah story, rich, layered and literary.
