Publisher's Summary

A chilling, immersive audio experience, The Sound at the End follows the eclectic crew of an Arctic research base and the newcomer who may uncover the secrets they’re each desperate to outrun, written by award-winning novelist Kirsty Logan and performed by a full cast.

On a near-abandoned research base in an Arctic ice field, a skeleton crew works to ensure the centre doesn’t collapse amid treacherous storms. Officially, Trieste Grayling arrives in order to explore and film a sunken shipwreck for a documentary film; privately, she's working through a complicated grief. Trieste soon realises she's not the only one who was attracted to this intense isolation in order to escape her ghosts.

Each of the crew members harbour dark secrets: Mal, the ever-competent medic conducting mysterious therapy sessions, Sweetie, the reclusive engineer with scarred hands, Thorsteinn, the aloof diver tender, Avelina, the temperamental base manager whose stories of home don't quite add up, Grace, an underwater welder and recovering addict, and Judd, the erratic former member of a ‘90s boy band. As they begin to reach breaking point, each one's hidden ghosts finally comes into the light.

interesting but slow pace

A mostly good performance but the story pacing was slow and hard to keep engaged with. it started to become a chore to wait for anything interesting to happen.

Not a casual read

If you go into this book expecting a fun and exciting story, you will not enjoy it. I enjoyed how the characters where development throughout the book.

Strange story

This is one of the weirdest stories I have heard. Everyone is psychotic because of their past.

Slightly different experience

This book has been narrated a little differently, or is it a play? I found the overall experience to be entertaining , if a little predictable

Engaging!

Amazing acting...? (is that what you call it?). Really engaging. Loved having a full cast to listen to, first time I've heard an audio book like this.

Zero research

Utter crap. Girl turns up by herself to dive under the ice in the arctic. Really? Technically pathetic.
