About this listen

One law. One child. Seven million crimes...

Climate emergency has spawned a one-child policy in the UK, ruthlessly enforced by a totalitarian regime. Compulsory abortion of 'excess' pregnancies and mandatory contraceptive implants are now the norm. Kai is a 25-year-old 'baby reaper', working for the Ministry of Population and Family Planning. If any of her assigned families attempt to exceed their child quota, she ensures they pay the price. Until she discovers that an illegal sibling on her Ministry hit-list is hers. And to protect her parents from severe penalties, she must secretly investigate before anyone else finds out.

Kai's hunt for her sister unearths much more than a dark family secret. As she stumbles across a series of heinous crimes perpetrated by the people she trusted most, she makes a catastrophic discovery that could bring down the government...and tear her family apart.

A scarily possible future is depicted by Eve Smith in One. Fast moving and thought provoking. Well narrated and enjoyable

Gripping story

This novel had me questioning how long it will be before we end up in a world just like the one Eve Smith has penned. Lots of twists to keep you on the edge of your seat with great character development. It’s hard to know who to route for! 100% recommend, I will be buying more from this author!

Compelling and scarily possible

Really enjoyed this. The story twisted unexpectedly which I love, I don’t like it when I can guess the plot straight away. Good writing, a story of substance.
