About this listen

"An outstanding debut - ingenious, fast-paced and unpredictable." (Harlan Coben)

"Geneva is one of the best thrillers I've ever read. And I've read quite a few." (A J Finn)

How far would you go for someone you love?

Nobel Prize-winning scientist Sarah Collier has taken a step back from work to spend more time with her family. Movie nights with her husband Daniel and their daughter Maddie are a welcome respite from the scrutiny of the world’s press. As much as it hurts, it’s good to be able to see her father more too. He’s suffering from Alzheimer’s and needs special care.

Sarah has started to show tell-tale signs of the disease too. She’s been experiencing blackouts and memory loss. It’s early days but she must face the possibility that she won’t be there to see her daughter grow up. Daniel, a neuroscientist himself, is doing his best to be supportive but she already knows that she will have to be the strong one. For all of them.

So when Sarah is invited to be the guest of honour at a prestigious biotech conference in Geneva she declines, wanting to stay out of the public eye – that is until Daniel shows her the kind of work that the enigmatic Mauritz Schiller has been developing.

Flown first class to the spectacular alpine city and housed in a luxury hotel, Sarah and Daniel are thrust back into the spotlight. As they try to shut out the noise of the public media storm, in private Sarah is struggling with her escalating symptoms. And the true extent of what Schiller has achieved is a revelation. This is technology that could change medicine forever. More than that, it could save Sarah’s life.

But technology so valuable attracts all kinds of interest. Wealthy investors are circling, controversial blogger Terri Landau is all over the story, and someone close to Schiller seems bent on taking advantage of the situation for themselves. Sarah feels threatened and does not know who to trust – including herself. Far from being her lifeline Schiller's technology may be her undoing.

As events spiral out of control Sarah and Daniel are faced with the ultimate question: how far would you go for someone you love?

An unmissable debut thriller written and narrated by Richard Armitage, co-narrated by Nicola Walker and Jane Perry.

This book contains scenes pertaining to dementia that some listeners may find distressing.

This has drama, suspense and a quite disturbing plot twist - I am now listening for the second time with a quite different perspective on what is really going on.
It also has episodes of tenderness, thoughtful reflection and sensitivity that I felt came from his heart and from personal experience. He had me in tears a few minutes in, and the care home scenes will ring true with many more readers.
I was completely drawn in by the strong storyline, the interesting characters and some beautifully descriptive and evocative passages that transported the listener to the location.
The narration by all 3 readers is superb.
As I write, this audiobook has been the number 1 bestseller in the UK since early today, (on its day of release) and is only getting 5 star reviews so far - that reward is well deserved. i can't recommend it highly enough. I have to congratulate Richard on such a magnificent first novel, and look forward to more from him as an author.
Sadly, there is no accompanying print or ebook version as yet, so the novel is not accessible to everyone. I do hope this oversight will soon be rectified, as it deserves the widest possible audience.
I also look forward to a screen version that is apparently being considered.

Update, Spring 2023 - And I'm very happy to hear there will be hardcover print and Kindle versions of Geneva available on October 12 this year. We are also looking forward to another planned novel from Richard Armitage, hopefully in the not-too-distant future.
I'd also like to congratulate Richard on being shortlisted for the British Book Awards in the Audiobook of the Year category for Geneva - a great and well-deserved achievement.

A Stunning Debut Novel

I've sometimes bought an audiobook from an author I don't know, just because Richard Armitage was the narrator, so to listen to Richard's own book, narrated by him and the wonderful Nicola Walker was a real treat. Plus, it's a great story with brilliant twists and turns. I'm certainly looking forward to his next book and highly recommend this one.

Excellent
