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.

Created by Derek Kolstad.

Written by Derek Kolstad, Mitali Jahagirdar, Laurie Kirwan-Ashman, Nick Luddington and Fallon O'Dowd.

Great story and acting.

I didn’t expect too much from this but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would recommend listening on headphones.

Chilling

Vanessa Kirby, as well as the rest of the cast, is brilliant. Even though there's nothing to see I had no problem differenting between her characters. The script flowed well and had a stellar cast. It's a great reimagining of the classic tale. A must listen for all.

Excellent performances

I found it strange to be listening to performances I couldn’t see, especially during the action scenes. The story gripped me until well towards the end when I suddenly lost interest during the action scenes. I am sure many listeners will really enjoy this audiobook but I don’t think this type of audiobook is for me.
