About this listen
Claire North shortlisted for the Sunday Times PFD Young Writer of the Year Award.
From one of the most original new voices in modern fiction comes a startling vision of a world where you can get away with anything....
Theo Miller knows the value of human life - to the very last penny.
Working in the Criminal Audit Office, he assesses each crime that crosses his desk and makes sure the correct debt to society is paid in full.
But when his ex-lover is killed, it's different. This is one death he can't let become merely an entry on a balance sheet.
Because when the richest in the world are getting away with murder, sometimes the numbers just don't add up.
From the award-winning Claire North comes an electrifying and provocative new novel which will resonate with readers around the world.
2019, Philip K. Dick Award, Nominated

Neither engaging or dull
While this book contains vivid and momentarily engaging descriptions of every day live events, it failed to fully engage me. The pace felt monotone and after a while the engaging descriptions became almost gratingly annoying. One part of the book felt just like any other. Also the narrator had a habit of seeming emphasising words that just didn’t need it, such as the word “there” at a beginning of a non action sentence.

This book is tough going.
I tried to read this book three times then listened to it on audio book. its a tough slug. I've read Claire North before and normally find her books to have a refreshing and original plot but this one just wasn't for me.
it's almost like George Orwell's 1984 if it was written by Robert Browning. Like a Browning Poem, this book has a rhythm and it's difficult to keep track of.
listening to it on Audible made it three times easier (though still hard) but ultimately I wouldn't say that it was worth it. Would not recommend.
