À propos de cet audio

 A masterly locked-room mystery set in a near-future Orwellian state—for fans of Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, Dave Eggers’ The Circle, and Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games

Do you live to play? Or play to live?

The year is 2037. The Soviet Union never fell, and much of Europe has been consolidated under the totalitarian Union of Friendship. On the tiny island of Isola, seven people have been selected to compete in a forty-eight-hour test for a top-secret intelligence position. One of them is Anna Francis, a workaholic bureaucrat with a nine-year-old daughter she rarely sees and a secret that haunts her. Her assignment: to stage her own death and then to observe, from her hiding place inside the walls of the house, how the six other candidates react to the news that a murderer is among them. Who will take control? Who will crack under pressure? But then a storm rolls in, the power goes out, and the real game begins. . . .

Combining suspense, unexpected twists, psychological gamesmanship, and a sinister dystopian future, The Dying Game conjures a world in which one woman is forced to ask, “Can I save my life by staging my death?” Dystopique Fantastique Fiction Fiction féminine Psychologiques Science-fiction Thrillers et romans à suspense Intéressant Jeu Suspense

Ce que les critiques en disent

“A deliciously creepy novel revolving around a terrific paradigm shift: The job you think you’re doing? That’s not the job you’re really doing.” —Chris Pavone, New York Times bestselling author of The Expats

“Agatha Christie meets George Orwell in journalist Avdic’s unsettling first novel. . . . Avdic not only constructs a fascinating and original plot but makes her imagined reality chillingly plausible.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

“A high-stakes test of survival and betrayal . . . Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None crossed-pollinated with ‘The Most Dangerous Game’ . . . An unsettling portrait of our possible future.” —Kirkus Reviews

“An Orwellian debut novel that never lets up . . . A heady mix of And Then There Were None and The Hunger Games [and] a supremely competitive struggle for survival.” —Booklist

“Intriguing . . . Reminiscent of classic ‘locked room’ mysteries by writers like Agatha Christie, Dorothy Sayers and P. D. James. But its near-future setting and Orwellian setup make it feel almost chillingly forward-looking as well.” —Bookreporter

“With a scary dystopia core and a foreboding that lurks on every page, this is terrifying stuff.” —Heat

“Resembling Agatha Christie at her zaniest, this fascinating, ever-changing scenario is deftly and grippingly handled.” —The Sunday Times (London)

I've owned this book in paperback and it's been in my personal list of top 20 best contemporary novels since it was first translated and published in English a few years ago. Translations are always tricky. A bad translation can ruin a perfect thing. That did not happen here. The translator has done a fantastic job; the language flows easily and poetically, losing none of the emotional impact of the story. In fact, I remember checking the copyright pages several times in my first reading because it doesn't have any of the telltale awkward or choppy language of many translated books. But because it's one of my favourites, I held off buying the audiobook, worried that bad narration would ruin the novel for me. I'm happy to report it did not ruin anything. The narrators have done it justice. If you like George Orwell's 1984 and Margaret Atwood's A Handmaid's Tale, or even Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None, The Dying Game is the book for you.
