À propos de cet audio
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.

The characters are interesting, and Marrs does a nice job providing well-considered storylines full of surprise revelations - but the individual narratives take a loooong time to become captivating (like, starting with Chapter 110 or so), and he only tenuously weaves the events together into a cohesive plot, anyway. We end up with eight disparate stories about people who happen to know each other.
Unfortunately, reader Peter Noble doesn't help the situation, either. His diction, timbre, and cadence are commendable, mind you - but some of his accents are legitimately cringe-y. He would be an excellent narrator if given fewer challenges (say, a story set exclusively in England), but QUEST Audio could have cast this particular project better.
Altogether, this 5/10-star audiobook is a reasonable listening option if you can get it for free.. but spend your money on a different John Marrs story if they ask for a Credit.
Unconnected Stories Paced Poorly

This was my 4th book by this author and my least favourite.
Although very entertaining and a fast read (165 short chapters), I didn’t think that the structure was well executed. The timeline made everything a bit confusing and slowed the pace.
And you really need to suspend disbelief in order to enjoy this work.
Some of the plot lines were not so interesting.
I didn’t mind the number of characters (8), but because the chapters are so short and the author switches timeline too frequently, it was hard to feel connected with any of the characters and some felt underdeveloped.
I actually found this book to be a bit amateurish, but entertaining nonetheless.
Some of the twists were predictable and some were good, but nothing remarkable. The conclusion was too rushed.
I would not label this book as a psychological thriller or even a thriller.
There are some good moments and some of the dialogues were funny, especially in the beginning.
Entertaining but nothing remarkable

I will be back after chapter 100 to let you know if the story picks up.
(It doesn't. )
I really enjoyed another title by this author - Keep It In The Family - but this one is not great.
Trying to hold out for chapter 100
