À propos de cet audio

Oliver Marks has just served 10 years in jail - for a murder he may or may not have committed. On the day he's released, he's greeted by the man who put him in prison. Detective Colborne is retiring, but before he does, he wants to know what really happened a decade ago.

As one of seven young actors studying Shakespeare at an elite arts college, Oliver and his friends play the same roles onstage and off: hero, villain, tyrant, temptress. But when the casting changes, and the secondary characters usurp the stars, the plays spill dangerously over into life, and one of them is found dead. The rest face their greatest acting challenge yet: convincing the police, and themselves, that they are blameless. Intelligent, thrilling, and richly detailed, If We Were Villains is a captivating story of the enduring power and passion of words.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Much like Donna Tartt's The Secret History, M. L. Rio's sparkling debut is a richly layered story of love, friendship, and obsession.... If We Were Villains will keep you riveted through its final, electrifying moments." (Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney, New York Times best-selling author of The Nest)

He went to prison for nothing! Don’t get me wrong I loved this book however Oliver did his time thinking he would get to see James again only to found out he freaking died!!! Like what!!! Why would he let Oliver go to prison if they were never going to be together in the first place! Still loved the book tho

Ending made me mad

Too long, none of the characters emotionally sympathetic. Clearly a screenplay in mind for a tv series.

As a late thirties aged theatre artist who attended theatre school in the early 2000s, this book hit me right in the feels. It opened up a lot of forgotten scars and nostalgia, in the very best way. If you love Shakespeare, you will love this book. If you aren’t familiar with Shakespeare you may want to Google Julius Caesar, MacBeth, Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet and King Lear. A truly thrilling and sorrowful tale with a startling conclusion. A great read.

Excellent read for Shakespeare Lovers

Thought this would be deeper, I guess, but it was still a fun listen. The narrator is great, and there's lots of Shakespeare to wade through.

Promises pretentiousness, delivers melodrama
