About this listen

Harper McKenzie wakes to the worse possible day: her 18-year-old son has vanished from her Manhattan apartment without trace.

Worse, no-one knows what she’s talking about.

No-one thinks she had a son.

Ever.

Has she lost her grip on reality?

Or has the world shifted in a terrifying and unpredictable way?

The Effect is a taut psychological thriller that challenges everything we thought was real, as Harper’s quest to find her son pushes her to the very edge of reason.

I enjoyed the production so much but it didn't end....as if the ideas ran out so you're just left with no resolution..disappointing

no ending

story line initially. Unnecessary bad language which I don't appreciate

Panic!

Couldn't get enough of this!! Amazing story, amazing twists. Listened to all 10 episodes in one sitting. Highly recommended...

I was really impressed with this series. It was dark, scary and plausible. I became totally invested in the characters and basically binge listened in one hit.
I would highly recommend this book.

The story developed episode by episode until the truth was finally revealed in episode 10. Excellent idea and thoughtfully produced and dramatised. However I marked it down because of frequent use of F*** word and irreverent use of the name of Jesus. I know that the post modern world thinks that these things are okay (no I'm not a prude!) but the storytelling would have been equally as good without this.

Powerful depiction of a virtual reality!

I loved the whole story. I thought I knew where the story was taking me but I was completely wrong. I binged listened to it over 2 days. I really hope they do a part 2 of the story!

fantastic story

I was gripped straight away and listened to it work in the morning. So good and look all the sound effects because it’s like listening to a movie. Thanks again Amazon: )

Brilliant and gripping

I was really enjoying this. Something very different and really mysterious. It went into fascinating territory that I didn't expect. Then just as it for to the most interesting part, it just - stopped!! The End. I thought I'd missed a chapter or the last episode hadn't downloaded or something. What the ????? Now I feel it was a total waste of time and I feel cheated. Nothing was ultimately resolved and you don't know what happens to the main character. Ridiculous. What a disappointment. What was the point of this? The two stars are because I was enjoying it up to the "end" shock, and because the idea was excellent - till it just cut off. 😥

Eh???
