Kill Someone

By: Luke Smitherd

Narrated by: Matt Addis

From the author of the international best seller The Stone Man, short-listed for Audible UK's Book of the Year Award 2015.

Here are the rules.

Method: you can't use a gun. You can't use explosives. You can't use poison. It has to be up close and personal. You don't have to worry about leaving evidence; that will be taken care of.

Victim: no one suicidal. No one over the age of 65. No one with a terminal illness.

Choose your method. Choose your victim.

Chris Summer was a 21-year-old call centre worker. A dropout. A nobody, still living at home with his parents. Then one day the Man in White came to his family's house, offering a seemingly impossible choice: kill a random stranger - one of Chris' choosing - within 12 days in order to save the lives of five kidnapped siblings. Refuse, and they die slowly and painfully.

The clock is ticking, the Man in White is watching and Chris has some very important choices to make. This is a tale of fear, indecision, confused masculinity and brutal violence - a story of a coddled young man thrust into a world of sharp metal and bone. Ask yourself if you could do it. Then ask yourself who you would choose.

Critic reviews

"For me there is no greater joy than seeing an artist excel at his craft...you'll be blown away by the abundance of ideas." (Ain'tItCoolNews.com)

Great stuff

Couldn't stop listening!

This book swept me away! It's inthralling and I couldn't stop listening. Very well written and wonderfully performed!

Awesome, amazing ride

This was such a great ride. I finished this story in 2 sittings. It would've been 1 but I had to sleep at some point. This author is so unique and different in his story lines and characters. He's punched a spot into my top 5 favorite authors and I've only read 4 of his books so far but I loved them all. This story truly makes you think....what would I do and that's not what I would do, I'd do this instead, ect ect. This was such an engaging and captivating story. It grabbed my attention from the start and didn't let go. The author is amazing at narrating and I find myself wishing he'd take a part time job to narrate more books....actually that'd take time away from his writing more books that I eagerly await. I hope he keeps narrating his stories even as more people discover him. Hey why are you still reading my review, go listen to this story I promise you its a million times more interesting than what I'm writing here.

I loved this story!!

I never saw the ending coming. though I had wondered if that could be a possible outcome

So long reality...

Any additional comments?

There is nothing like coming to that moment when you realize everything you have known isn't what you thought it was. As always, Mr. Smitherd has been able to unfold another "Made you think" moment wrapped in a captivating story. Well done as always!
