Outside

By: Ragnar Jónasson

Narrated by: Carla Harrison-Hodge, Eleanor Jackson, Gil Sullivan, Jamie Maclachlan, Reice Weathers

With two million copies of his books sold worldwide, "world-class crime writer" (The Sunday Times, UK) Ragnar Jónasson brings us a chilling new standalone thriller with Outside.

Four friends. One night. Not everyone will come out alive . . .

When a deadly snowstorm strikes the Icelandic highlands, four friends seek shelter in a small, abandoned hunting lodge.

It is in the middle of nowhere and there's no way of communicating with the outside world.

They are isolated, but they are not alone . . .

As the night darkens, and fears intensify, an old tragedy gradually surfaces—one that forever changed the course of their friendship.

Those dark memories could hold the key to the mystery the friends now find themselves in.

And whether they will survive until morning . . .

Good twists, no problem with the ending

I enjoyed this one with a few reservations. Interesting locale and set-up, good plot twists. I read criticisms of the ending as abrupt, but I thought it was fine. I think the narration of the last line left something to be desired (in timing and emphasis) and made it more abrupt than it would be in print.

Good performance, terrible story

Listen to this if you enjoy stories with incompetent characters that are entirely unlikeable. The ending is predictable and the suspense is tainted by totally illogical actions by our least favorite characters.

what?

Bad writing and bad pronunciation as in 'Schadenfreude' . That is embarrassing. The man in the corner. Did anybody ever talk to him? Weird book. Would not recommend it.

Too slow, I can’t finish.

I tried listening to this and starting over. I normally love this author. This one didn’t click for me.

Story was unfinished.

The author was busy so he stopped the story. Felt disappointed. None of the characters were even like able. No one to root for.
