Good Psychological Thriller

I really enjoyed this book and had to finish listening when should have been sleeping. Also recommend his books Woom. This book has good character development, much violence and torture and surprise ending and great narration. It is about couple trying to save their marriage with a unique way of counseling in remote lodge. My favorite character was Frank as he truly loved his wife Linda. Recommend to anyone who enjoys a good psychological thriller. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. THANK YOU!

The Method

The story is around an expensive retreat where couples go to try to reignite the flame of love that has been lost between Frank and Linda. Things seem to be going okay until the discovery of hidden cameras everywhere inside the retreat.

Don't read this at night!

The Method starts out harmless enough with a couple going on a couple's marriage retreat. Somewhere along the way it goes horribly wrong. Is it all true or are the therapists trying a different approach. In the end, the question is still very much real. Duncan Ralston is a fantastic author. This is the first story I have read of his, but won't the last. His ability to take you into the minds of the characters and feel what they are feeling makes the story come alive for the reader. I listened to the audio book and Rick Gregory does a really good job of helping the listener to get the atmosphere of the love, frustration and the fear the characters are going through.

Warning: do not listen to this book at night.

If you could sum up The Method in three words, what would they be?

Entertaining, but figured it out quickly...

The Method by Duncan Ralston is a twisted and fun listen, much like the other book of his that I had listened to, Woom, was. This book isn't for the faint of heart. It's nasty, gritty and contains language. It's fun a twisted. The reason that I gave this book three stars instead of four or five stars is because I figured the twist our rather quickly near the beginning of the book because the author gave a few pretty dang obvious clues in the beginning that I wish he wouldn't have! **SPOILER ALERT!!** Then I realized that the book is pretty much just like Michael Douglas' The Game. It make the book a bit less enjoyable to listen to once I knew that everything was just part of their experience and that people weren't really going to be dying, etc.

Rick Gregory narrated this title quite well. His performance was full of emotional intonations where it was called for and I thought he did well with the various characters voices, both male and female. This isn't my first Gregory performance and I'm sure it won't be my last. He's a good, reliable narrator. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher for an honest review.
