Özet

Penguin presents the audiobook of A Gift for Dying written by M. J. Arlidge, read by Ian Porter.

Could you live with knowing how you'll die?

Adam Brandt is used to dealing with all kinds of people - as a consulting psychologist with the Chicago Police Department he has faced his share of criminals. But Kassie Wojcek is like no one else he's encountered, fifteen-years-old and burdened, she says, with a terrible gift: she knows how and when you will die.

After claiming to 'feel' the horrific murder of the first victim, Kassie is caught up in the hunt for a sadistic serial killer terrorising Chicago, frightened that people will die without her help. Kassie pulls Adam into the investigation, determined to stop the torture she sees coming. But as the body count rises, Adam must ask himself if her gift is real or if he is putting his faith in someone far more dangerous than he realised.

Events soon spiral out of control as the case and their personal lives intertwine. The boundaries of right and wrong shift, the lines between the hunter and the hunted blur, and one thing becomes clear: Kassie is in the sights of a killer...

I couldn’t get into this book which was strange as I generally enjoy this author. I did finish it.

A little odd

In fairness, the idea of someone being able to see the approaching death of others is not entirely new. It has been done before with varying degrees of success so it does mean that Arlidge's foray into this partly supernatural territory needs to be good. And it is, this is a well-constructed story that builds from its initial shocking and sinister start towards an ending that I thought was particularly impressive as it ducked nothing and pulled no punches. It's a story of an extremely nasty and viciously twisted villain, a young, tortured girl from the wrong side of the tracks and a well-to-do psychologist who lives on the other side. The point of view switches often between them and supporting characters like the lead detective in the case. I like how this works even if it does mean some scenes can take longer to pan out.

At the microphone for this one is Ian Porter who delivers a fine performance. I wouldn't say he's the best with accents or at keeping the most consistent character voices but to me, he delivers where it really matters. When the story hits its high points he ratchets up the tension nicely with good changes of pace and volume.

Overall this is a very pleasing package from a quality author who takes the time to both build the plot and to give characters suitable depth. There are a couple of quite lovely twists that while maybe not the least predictable give the story no little punch.

Very Solid Take on a Well-trodden Path

Fairly entertaining but not as good as the other MJ Arlidge books. I enjoyed the first half but found the second half ridiculous and predictable. Narrator is so so, not annoying but didn't add anything for me.

This was mediocre

Although I like nothing better than a long book , this was painful. I’ve loved everything else I’ve read by MJ Arlidge- but not this. Some parts were good but for the most part the story was dragged out too long. There were no just got to listen to next chapter, no twists-overall boring. It did not grip me from the start. So sorry MJ Arlidge - I have loved all your other books. Thanks

Long winded
