À propos de cet audio

Already optioned for film, The Girl with a Clock for a Heart is Peter Swanson's electrifying tale of romantic noir, with shades of Hitchcock and reminiscent of the classic movie Body Heat. It is the story of a man swept into a vortex of irresistible passion and murder when an old love mysteriously reappears.

On an ordinary Friday evening at his favorite Boston tavern, George Foss's comfortable, predictable life is shattered when a beautiful woman sits down at the bar, a woman who vanished without a trace twenty years ago.

Liana Dector isn't just an ex-girlfriend, the first love George couldn't quite forget. She's also a dangerous enigma and quite possibly a cold-blooded killer wanted by the police. Suddenly, she's back - and she needs George's help. Ruthless men believe she stole some money…and they will do whatever it takes to get it back.

George knows Liana is trouble. But he can't say no - he never could - so he makes a choice that will plunge him into a terrifying whirlpool of lies, secrets, betrayal, and murder from which there is no sure escape.

Bold and masterful, full of malicious foreboding and subtle surprises, The Girl with a Clock for a Heart is an addictive, nonstop thriller - an ever-tightening coil of suspense that grips you right up to its electrifying end.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"The pace is fast...and the plot genuinely twisty.... [It is] seemingly pre-measured for the movies...often to good effect; all in all, a quick, deft, promising first crime novel." ( Kirkus Reviews)
"[A] roller coaster thrill-fest of a ride, filled with deliciously wicked moments of mystery, murder, and mayhem, double-cross and deception. A cerebral noir thriller debut." ( New York Journal of Books)

Good story

I enjoyed the story but the narrator sounded like a monotonous generic male TikTok voice at times. This made is harder to get into the story’s suspenseful parts.

Another Winner for Peter Swanson

The Girl with a Clock for a Heart kept me spellbound. I couldn't wait to hear what happened next. What I love about Swanson, in addition to his polished writing, is how each book he writes is an original. He never repeats the same plot twice. And this one's a killer. Also five stars to narrator Paul Boehmer, whose delivery is impeccable. I could listen to him forever.

Great story but narration wasn’t the greatest

I love Peter Swanson and this story was great however, the narrator didn’t sound like an actual person.. very robotic and almost as if it was an AI recording. Made the book hard to follow in some areas and took away from the suspense. The narrator who read a kind worth killing and a kind worth saving would have done a better job.
