Summary

A domestic noir thriller with an unforgettable twist you won't see coming.

"Builds steadily and really picks up to a breakneck pace for the final mile." - SCREAM Magazine

After a prolonged illness, Frank and Linda's marriage has begun to fray at the edges. When old friends tell them about an "unconventional therapy retreat" called The Method, they jump at the chance to attend. One last attempt to stay true to their wedding vows. Till death do they part.

Dr. Kaspar's Lone Loon Lodge is a secluded resort deep in the Montana wilderness. The staff is friendly. The other couple joining them is intense. But when one of the guests is murdered events quickly spiral out of control, leaving Linda and Frank unable to trust anyone but each other.

How hard would you fight for the one you love?

Look at the world around you ...


" Look at the world around you ..."
Frank and Linda had been together for nine years, married for nearly half that time. But now their marriage is falling apart. Their long time friends, Dylan and Trevor, were on the verge of ending their marriage but now they seem closer than they have ever bee. Their secret? They undertook an unconventional and little known therapy simply called The Method. They wouldn't say any more than that other than it was nearly expensive though they did give Frank the contact address. Three weeks later, Frank and Linda arrived at the remote lodge where their intensive counselling was to take place.

From its earliest beginnings, this book strongly hinted at a commonality with the Michael Douglas film, The Game. Nothing wrong with that. And the first half of the story was increasingly thrilling with both physical and psychological trauma engulfing the couple, reality sliding out of control. But for this reader the book pushes that little bit too far in it's later stages, more to shock than provide a viable conclusion - and I seriously doubt that the desired reconciliation would have been possible given Linda's earlier "terrible year" response to her cancer. But this is somewhere the book does not go, sadly.

Rick Gregory's narration is good, well paced and clear, read with just the right emotional imput and good intonation even though his voice had a downbeat feel: again, not unfitting for the text. Little distinctive character voice definition but that didn't matter as it was always clear no was speaking. His reading certainly added to the enjoyment of the book.

I was fortunate in being freely gifted a complimentary copy of the Method, at my request, by the rights holder, via Audiobook Boom. Thank you. Although I did enjoy it very much, I do feel that it could have been so much better, less gratuitous towards the end with just a little more explanation, not of all that happens but a simple touch down with reality if only to assist the couple in their ongoing wellbeing - in much the same way that The Game brings resolution. After all that has happened, it seemed to end too abruptly. But it was a good read, one I would recommend to all enjoying violent psychological thrillers where the real and the unreal twist and merge.
