About this listen
For eight strangers in a Los Angeles hostel, even the other side of the world isn’t far enough. The craving for a new identity and the desire to start again is something they have in common. But they discover that it doesn't matter where you are or who you are - if you can't lay the past to rest, fate and coincidence have a way of catching up with you.

Now reduced to a schoolyard chant, the Hope family murders shocked the Maine coast one bloody night in 1929. While most people assume seventeen-year-old Lenora was responsible, the police were never able to prove it. Other than her denial after the killings, she has never spoken publicly about that night, nor has she set foot outside Hope’s End, the cliffside mansion where the massacre occurred.

My husband is a doctor. He’s smart and charming, and everybody trusts him. Except me. On the surface, it looks like I have it all–the perfect marriage, the perfect husband, the perfect life. But it’s far from the truth. Doctor Drew Devlin is not the respectable figure he makes out to be. The reason we moved to this beautiful, old property with a gorgeous view of the sea was because we needed to put our past behind us. It should’ve been a fresh start for us both.

In the 21st century, information is king. But computers can be hacked and files can be broken into - so five ordinary people have been selected to become Minders. Transformed by a revolutionary medical procedure, the country's most classified information has been taken offline and turned into genetic code implanted inside their heads. Together, the five know the truth behind every government lie, conspiracy theory and cover-up. In return, they're given the chance to leave their problems behind and a blank slate to start their lives anew. But not everyone should be trusted.

Great book
My 2nd book by this author and I am realizing I am really liking his style of writing. How there are a set of different people and their stories are told separately and yet somehow connected…
I am going to pick my next book by this author as soon as I’m done with this review.

Strange story
with 162 chapters jumping over time and character, this is difficult to keep track of especially at the beginning when the point of plot, who is a hero or heroine, who is an antihero or antiheroine are all unclear. in fact there are many of each of these. However the idea becomes clear and the story is rather clever.

Slow build up
I had a difficult time keeping track of what was going on in the early parts of the story. It took my ADHD a while to understand the flashbacks in many of chapters were flashing back from the current chapter storylines and not one solitary timeliness. Once I was able to grasp that, I thoroughly enjoyed it as I have all past John Marrs' audiobooks.
