About this listen

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
The future of law enforcement has arrived, courtesy of private health contractor Janus Justice. Their ground-breaking ‘Offender Treatment Programme' has been hailed as the most effective way of tackling crime yet.
As offenders move through the four-tiered system, their needs are dealt with, each tier more drastic in its methods:
Tier One: Low-risk crimes. Physical therapy encouraged.
Tier Two: Trauma and addiction. Emotional and psychological reasons for offending are examined.
Tier Three: Aversion therapy & moral punishment.
Tier Four: Siberia, where all hope is lost.
But Grace Gunnarsson, one of Janus' most highly regarded rehabilitation psychiatrists, has uncovered a terrible flaw in the system, one that is allowing people to get away with murder...
‘A wonderful novel. Big ideas wrapped in a plot that moves like a freight train' - Stuart Turton
'Compelling and complex, but still emotionally charged and devastating' - Helen Fields
'A Clockwork Orange for the modern cohort. A terrifying near future imagined perfectly' - Imran Mahmood

I think the story itself is entertaining and had a lot of potential. But the characters were weak in my opinion. Predictable motives and they were a bit cliche. I tried to finish the book but I found the main character and her actions so infuriating I had to give up. I hate writing up a negative review, but this book made me feel a bit angry. The story had a lot of potential and I was left feeling like I missed out on what it could have been.

The protagonist is insufferable

It had potential but I found most of it dull, repetitive and so heavily foreshadowed that it became frustratingly obvious where the story was going.

If you know anything about psychology or criminal justice, unfortunately I think you’ll be bored.

The marriage dynamic was well written though.

Ok

I hardly ever can't put a book down or shall I say stop listening to it, but I was hooked on this one from the beginning. Great story making you think what ethical choices you would make in their world.

Absolutely brilliant
