À propos de cet audio
A chilling, immersive audio experience, The Sound at the End follows the eclectic crew of an Arctic research base and the newcomer who may uncover the secrets they’re each desperate to outrun, written by award-winning novelist Kirsty Logan and performed by a full cast.
On a near-abandoned research base in an Arctic ice field, a skeleton crew works to ensure the centre doesn’t collapse amid treacherous storms. Officially, Trieste Grayling arrives in order to explore and film a sunken shipwreck for a documentary film; privately, she's working through a complicated grief. Trieste soon realises she's not the only one who was attracted to this intense isolation in order to escape her ghosts.
Each of the crew members harbour dark secrets: Mal, the ever-competent medic conducting mysterious therapy sessions, Sweetie, the reclusive engineer with scarred hands, Thorsteinn, the aloof diver tender, Avelina, the temperamental base manager whose stories of home don't quite add up, Grace, an underwater welder and recovering addict, and Judd, the erratic former member of a ‘90s boy band. As they begin to reach breaking point, each one's hidden ghosts finally comes into the light.

I'm new to Audible and this is the first time I've "read" a book that was purpose made for this medium, and I was VERY impressed. It has sound effects and different actors playing the different characters, like an old-style "radio play".
This particular book is astonishingly well written considering that it's a work of fiction for a (presumably) undemanding audience and the character development, which is usually severely neglected in works of novel-fiction, is actually central to the story, which I LOVE.
It's not perfect. There are some aspects of the story that were poorly researched. I found the diving segments 'amateuristic' but I'm a technical diver with 35 years of experience. The character of the counselor was also unconvincing to me but then again, my wife is a therapist so I know how a *real* therapist acts. These aspects should have been researched more thoroughly to make them more convincing but I still gave the story 4 stars because of its many other redeeming qualities.
On the whole, it's one of those stories that grips you in the first chapter and doesn't let you go until it's done.
Excellent!
