About this listen

Wealthy and privileged, Alex has an easy path to success in the Parisian elite. But he and his domineering father have never seen eye to eye. Desperate to escape the increasingly suffocating atmosphere of their apartment, Alex seeks freedom on the streets of Paris where his new-found friend Sami teaches him how to survive. But everything has a price - and one night of rebellion changes their lives forever.

A simple plan to steal money takes a sinister turn when Alex's father is found dead. Despite protesting their innocence, both boys are imprisoned for murder. Seven years later Alex is released from prison with a single purpose: to discover who really killed his father. Yet as he searches for answers and atones for the sins of his past, Alex uncovers a disturbing truth with far-reaching consequences.

In the heart of Paris, against a backdrop of corruption, fake news and civil unrest, The Messenger is a mind-racing thriller that follows one son's journey to find redemption and expose the truth.

Extremely well written.

Set in a Paris seldom seen by the tourists. The narrative shows much thought and the use of English is superb. A major new talent.

Gripping Suspense.

Contemporary Paris sets the scene for a gripping and suspenseful tale. I particularly liked the masterful exploration of the family slash relationship dynamics.
