Description

An unmissable thriller written by Richard Armitage, author of #1 bestseller Geneva, narrated by the author and by Jacob Dudman.

You can’t escape your past. The cut always reopens.

In the sleepy village of Barton Mallet, the old ruins of Blackstone Mill watch over the residents as they go about their quiet lives. Ben Knot and his friends are looking forward to a summer of fun and freedom once their last year of school is over. The class of 1994 have been through a lot together, good and bad, but teasing turns to bullying when the Knot gang target younger boy Mark Cherry. As tensions rise and violence escalates, the group fractures and tragedy strikes. Before the summer is over, one of them will be killed. Murdered by someone they called a friend.

Thirty years on, Ben is an award-winning architect who has moved his family back to the village where he grew up. His girlfriend Dani is a hands-on step mum to his kids, budding actor Nate and star footballer Lily, but even though the family seem happy, Ben has never been able to forget the tragedy of the past. And it’s a past that is coming back to haunt him with the murderer’s imminent release from prison. Ben’s glittering career is also starting tarnish as some shady business deals have put him on the path to bankruptcy. With the killer’s parole date approaching and the banks calling in their loans, Ben struggles to keep a grip on the perfect life he has built.

When Nate lands the leading role in a new horror movie, Dani jumps at the chance to propel him towards stardom, despite Ben’s concerns that it will complicate their lives. Ben is persuaded to support his son’s dreams, but when the film crew descend on the village to start shooting, the dream starts to turn into a nightmare. The film is not quite what it seems. His kids are being pushed to the limit and Ben’s paranoia makes him question the film makers’ motives. Ben is desperate for answers and will stop at nothing to keep his family safe.

If the first cut is the deepest, then the last cut is going to end it all.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Armitage has done it again... THE CUT is a chilling, atmospheric thriller with characters you'll never forget." - Harlan Coben

Editorial Review

A new meant-to-be-heard psychological thriller from Richard Armitage
Richard Armitage is Audible royalty. Countless essential listens have been elevated by his smooth-as-silk voice and amazing performances. From classics to romance to thrillers – he’s done it all. And as his fans know, Armitage is a talented screen actor as well. But more recently, he’s also become a published author. Like his first novel, Geneva, The Cut is being introduced to the world as an Audible Original – meaning he wrote it especially to be listened to. And who better to do that? No one. In his own words, “ The Cut is a story of misplaced adolescent obsession and the damaged roots that reach from the past into the present. It’s my new passion project.” This is enough to make it my next passion listen. Add to Library! — Tricia F., Audible Editor

Life circumstances

I found it a bit hard to follow and went back after 5 chapters to start again. I had no problem then. I found it very sad. It definitely brings to the forefront the dresses of being young and trying to fit in and find your place.

thanks for a very good story

I enjoyed this. found I needed to concentrate I bit as there were plenty of characters and different times. but I figured it out without too much bother. I found it odd the author twice used the verb 'disappear' when sounds drifted away. this should have been corrected to something less visual.

Predictable

I found out about 3/4 ways thru the book, what was going to happen and who the killer was.

it was a good premise to make a scary movie about the tragedy. Narrator was fantastic as usual.

Happy Listening

It was... okay

I didn't enjoy this book as much as I did 'Geneva,' feeling a deeper connection with the characters in the latter. The concept of two narrators, each for a different timeline, was ingenious. Both narrators performed exceptionally well, especially Armitage. However, there were very few characters that I genuinely liked or felt acquainted with. This might be due to Armitage's intention to weave suspense into the plot, but it seemed to overcomplicate things instead. The constant switching between the two timelines was also disorienting. Additionally, the plot was too predictable; it's disappointing to guess the ending of a book before the midpoint and to be proven right.

I've been a fan of Richard Armitage since North & South and have seen nearly all of his English shows and have always enjoyed his performances. He's an excellent narrator and actor.

Would I try another book by this author? Yes. I hope he continues to write and hones his skills. Would I buy this for a credit? No. I am thankful that this was in the plus section.

I found it difficult to follow.

the switching between timelines was difficult to follow. I found the shatneresque breeding style was difficult to follow as well.
