About this listen

An insanely fast-paced psychological thriller with a killer hook, from the international bestseller and master of terror, Sebastian Fitzek. The Clinic is a world leader in memory research, they say they can permanently erase your traumatic memories, leaving you free to start a new life. Marc Lucas killed his pregnant wife in a car crash. He carries the memory of her death with him everywhere - a splinter of glass stuck in his neck. His life is a nightmare from which he can't wake. Should he visit the clinic? Or has he been there already? The problem is, he can't remember....

Lots of twists and turns in the plot. Kept me intrigued right to the end. Liked the narrator too. Great pace. Excellent ending (as well as the beginning and middle). Very enjoyable.

I got hooked on Fitzek, starting with Passenger 23, then The Child. Splinter was interesting but less convincing and engaging than his other books. The narrator did a great job.

Good, but not the best

Did not want to get to the end. Great story, solid characters. We need more Fitzek novels translating into English.

Outstanding

If you could sum up Splinter in three words, what would they be?

Engaging, Irritating, Engaging.....repeat

If you’ve listened to books by Sebastian Fitzek before, how does this one compare?

Not of the same quality. His recent works, the Child and AMOK were both 5 Star. This earlier book, purchased on the high standard of the aforementioned, left me somewhat disappointed. Don't get me wrong it's good, but when you've tasted fillet, the rump just gives youth hump.....

Which scene did you most enjoy?

Nothing stands out. There were so many scenes with the main character being tormented by ever changing possible outcomes to his living hell e.g. whether his supporting characters were 'good guys' or 'bad guys'. In the end you just got irritated by far too many unnecessary twists.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Planted Amnesia....., a film you may want to forget

Any additional comments?

You might love it, plenty did. Hope you're not disappointed has I was.

Good, but far too drawn out to be a Fitzek Classic

Brilliant book! Sebastian Fitzek is an amazing writer, I think I have read all his books now. I hope another comes out very soon.

This is a brilliantly unique story, with lots of fast paced action throughout. I am usually pretty good at guessing story endings, but this one toy floored me. Everyone should read this one.

What a great novel, amazing!

Loved this!! It’s rare the ending of a book catches me full on by surprise but this one did! Listening to all Fitzeks other books you know anything is possible or not real etc but this book has to be my fav! Waited about a year after the first time I read and forgot the twists, listened again and remembered how good it is. My kind of book!

Listened for the second time so good!

I kept getting lost in the story and had to rewind several times. I was disappointed with the ending.

A confusing story
