About this listen
A chillingly compelling psychological thriller about the chances we take and their deadly consequences…
When Jemma leaves husband Adam for another man, his world shatters. Desperate to regain control, Adam turns to the glass die he once used to make every decision.
Meanwhile, Jemma's lost her sense of self. Every choice she makes is tempting her to risk everything to find her spark again.
At first, it's just a game. Adam's die becomes the centrepiece of a wellness podcast he starts with an old friend. But when interest spreads online and others are drawn into its dangerous orbit, Adam's obsession takes a darker turn.
As his painful past threatens to overturn the present, Adam loses his grip on reality and one final roll could decide everything – life, death, or the illusion of choice itself…
DIE TRYING is an addictive, twisting pageturner that asks how far we'll go when we gamble with fate, and the devastating impact a single decision can unleash.

Praise for DIE TRYING
'Thought-provoking, dark, compelling with a premise to DIE for. If you ask fate to save your ailing marriage, how far will you let it take you?' TAMMY COHEN
'A book that will stay with me for a long time. The premise is clever but the execution may be cleverer still – bringing the fascinating concept of the die, fate and how much we can really control as human beings into a 2026 space of wellness podcasts, decision overwhelm and toxic masculinity. A brilliant job, by a brilliant author’ CAROLINE CORCORAN
