Zero Days

De: Ruth Ware

Narrado por: Imogen Church

New York Times bestselling author Ruth Ware proves that she is the “new Agatha Christie” (Air Mail) with this adrenaline-fueled thriller about a woman in a race to clear her name and find her husband’s murderer.

Hired by companies to break into buildings and hack security systems, Jack and her husband, Gabe, are the best penetration specialists in the business. But after a routine assignment goes horribly wrong, Jack arrives home to find her husband dead. To add to her despair, the police are closing in on their suspect—her.

Suddenly on the run and quickly running out of options, Jack must decide who she can trust as she circles closer to the real killer in this unputdownable and heart-pounding mystery that combines Mr. and Mrs. Smith with The Fugitive from an author whose “propulsive prose keeps readers on the hook and refuses to let anyone off until all has been revealed” (Shelf Awareness).

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Imogen Church performs this suspenseful mystery with conviction. Jack and her husband, Gabe, work in the security field; she checks for penetration, and he hacks computer systems. After a long night working on a test gone awry, Jack returns home to find Gabe dead. Church delivers a compelling narrative of anguish, confusion, and mental fatigue with a strained, shaky voice and well-timed pauses. Jack soon discovers she is the lead suspect in the case, and, realizing there is no evidence pointing elsewhere, she runs. Church keeps the listener invested with fast pacing and a distressed tone adding to the tension as Jack becomes even more filled with anxiety. Church enlivens each character. This is a thriller worth listening to."

Another solid book!

I’ve listened to the audio 2 times now and enjoyed the story and the interpretation performed by the reader. I’m ready for Ruth Wares next book!!

Not my favorite Ware

Imogen Church as always was excellent, but for my taste there was too much description of the narrators physical sensations (my stomach dropped, my side burned, etc.) Interesting concept, and I liked the small kindnesses throughout but I'm hoping for a more "One by One" return to form.

Disappointing for Ruth Ware

Ruth Ware is one of my favorite authors and I typically love her novels - unfortunately, this one fell short!

The F word was the main character

I’ve never read a book with as many F bombs as this one - over and over. It must have been the most used word in the book.

Great Novel

I very much like the storyline, however the main character's early on and subsequent repetative physical decline was a little too repetitive over sooo many chapters. Consequently it became... unbelievable. To be believable, she should have ate more and/or rested more or..got a new/additional injury to work against and deal with...

Also in listening, to the various and seemingly (and rather annoyingly) random, back and forth of "minus 1 days", " minus 3 days", "minus 2 days", and then "Minus 1 days" throughout the reading, always left me with confusion and a large .."Am I missing something????" This left me feeling unconnected, and honestly? a bit annoyed towards listening to the
story line in the begining of each chapter.
