Publisher's summary

One doctor. One assassin. One and the same.

From the creator of John Wick comes a thrilling modern-day reimagining of the classic story of Jekyll and Hyde from Audible Originals. Buckle up and prepare for a tale of split personas, secret organisations, and international assassinations in this action-packed drama featuring cutting-edge 3D sound design.

Dr. Jekyll (Vanessa Kirby) is an elite international specialist in energy systems, working closely with her handler Louis (David Oyelowo) in a career that takes her across the globe to politically volatile territories such as Iran and North Korea. But when an arms dealer accuses her of having killed his family, Dr. Jekyll begins to question details of her life, who Louis really is, and whether her strange recurring dream has a greater meaning. She enlists the help of psychologist Sigrun (Sofie Gråbøl), and together they delve into Dr. Jekyll’s darker other side, a brutal assassin named… Hyde.

Starring Vanessa Kirby, David Oyelowo, Sofie Gråbøl with an original score by Brittany Allen.

Unique!

This one kept my attention from beginning to end. A true testament to the writing, this is not normally a genre. I’m drawn to, I thought it was fabulous!!

Outstanding Fresh Take on an Old Story

This was a superb production of the classic tale with a different twist. Very modern and sinister. Cast was fantastic. Combined elements of a thriller and a psychological case. Very well done. Cast and production are superb. Hopefully there is another so we can find out what happened! One of the best thrillers I've listened to in a while.

Excellent tempo of story development

Totally like the story, interesting plot, no boring narrative!
Performance is excellent, the only reason I manage to listen it all ( the idea of radio-play is just not my thing)

Worth the listen

Enjoyed the voice acting. Story is a nice update, but I can't but help think that inspiration was taken more from BBC "Jekyll" that the original book.

Fast paced, fun

Not really a twist on the original but a fun listen anyways. Some parts are confusing as to who is talking.
