About this listen

A chilling, immersive audio experience, The Sound at the End follows the eclectic crew of an Arctic research base and the newcomer who may uncover the secrets they’re each desperate to outrun, written by award-winning novelist Kirsty Logan and performed by a full cast.

On a near-abandoned research base in an Arctic ice field, a skeleton crew works to ensure the centre doesn’t collapse amid treacherous storms. Officially, Trieste Grayling arrives in order to explore and film a sunken shipwreck for a documentary film; privately, she's working through a complicated grief. Trieste soon realises she's not the only one who was attracted to this intense isolation in order to escape her ghosts.

Each of the crew members harbour dark secrets: Mal, the ever-competent medic conducting mysterious therapy sessions, Sweetie, the reclusive engineer with scarred hands, Thorsteinn, the aloof diver tender, Avelina, the temperamental base manager whose stories of home don't quite add up, Grace, an underwater welder and recovering addict, and Judd, the erratic former member of a ‘90s boy band. As they begin to reach breaking point, each one's hidden ghosts finally comes into the light.

I found this a struggle to stick with. maybe my expectations were skewed but it wasn't my cup of tea in the end. the actors were great but the overall storyline felt a bit random and jumbled to the point I wasn't really that interested in how it ended. I think the idea was to be a little disjointed to show the mental state of the characters but nothing was really explained in the end it was all just rather flat for me.

I just found this to be really hard going. Not really engaging as it rambles a lot. I guess the performances were good but they were working with a poor production.

Rambling and tedious

This was really well performed and the story seemed promising at first. However, without giving spoilers, the story didn't develop fully and the ending was both predictable and unsatisfying.

Started great but story didn't evolve

This was one of the most disturbing audiobooks I have ever listened to. performance was magnificent though.
