About this listen

Frances is bright, young and single, enjoying life and her burgeoning career in the big city.

But after attracting the attentions of a stranger, her life begins to unravel from the inside out.

A seductive novel of power and complicity, Consent shows us just how vulnerable we are to the will of others - people we may not even know . . .

"A fascinating, disturbing and original thriller that erases the boundaries of the genre and draws challenging new ones." (Sophie Hannah)

the way it was read made me feel like i was listening back to my own account of events and i was torn between outrage and being fully onboard with ‘my’’ actions

did i do it?

This isn't a novel for the faint hearted. An un-named male stalker interferes in management consultant Fran's professional and personal life with horrific consequences. Be warned - some sections are incredibly visceral to say the least. The author provides the listener/reader with believable characters, pace and understanding.

The narrator, Matthew Baynton, was sublime - his geeky tones really made the central character more sinister.

Amazing use if language, just hypnotic. The ending was very disappointing, I need a second book.

Ending was shit, but the book is still worth it.

This book is stunning. Beautifully and intelligently written. Dark and thought provoking. Creepy in the best way. Great read by the narrator too.

Amazing book

Narrated by the lovely Matthew Baynton - who knew he could sound so creepy? Finished the book in a day as I couldn't turn it off.

Had me transfixed!
