About this listen

Edward is living in a world he can't afford and to which he doesn't belong. To camouflage himself, he has catered to his friends' needs – fetching drycleaning, sorting flowers for premieres. It's a noble effort, really – anything to keep his best pals Robert and Stanza happy. In return, his proximity to them might sponge the shame of his birth and violent past cleanly away.

But the chink in his armour is his painfully unrequited love for Stanza. When he realises Stanza and Robert are an item, Edward is pushed too far. His little acts of kindness take a sinister turn, giving way to the unspeakable brutality Edward fears is at his core.

Are there limits to what he will do for his friends? Are there limits to what he will do to them?

Critic reviews

'A deft, razor-sharp debut that effortlessly bestrides crime and comedy. Jonny Sweet is annoyingly talented.' (Erin Kelly, bestselling author of He Said/She Said)

'Fresh, frightening, bittersweet and brutal. The Kellerby Code is wonderfully witty and delightfully dark.' (Chris Whitaker, bestselling author of We Begin at the End)

I don’t think there’s one single character that’s likeable - all flawed - that said the story is engaging to the end

Dark story, unusual and gripping

It felt like a long time to not go very far. Good writer, but i felt towards the end i had to commit to finishing it. Wanted to like it more. Vrry well read though and i know others will get a lot from it.

This was a really entertaining Ripley-esque thriller and the narration was absolutely spot-on. Gave me a couple of very enjoyable days whilst pottering away at my desk at home.

Witty, gory and oh such an enjoyable tale brilliantly performed by Jack Davenport

This took a while to get going, and I nearly gave up, but I finally got engaged with the story after the first couple of hours narration. The main characters are not likable in the slightest - but I guess that's the point. Edward is particularly irritating, and I am sure if I had been reading a hard copy, I would have been flicking over the paragraphs where he waffles away about his unrequited love blah blah blah.

I enjoyed the narration, which suited the style of the story.

Dark story about very annoying characters
