About this listen

It's barely a few months since the shambling dead began to rise.

Now nine people are trapped together in an English country house by the zombie horde outside. There's a journalist, a student, a professor, a surgeon, a housekeeper, a math teacher, a bank clerk, a taciturn Scotswoman, and a celebrity actor. They are strangers to each other. There would be no reason for any of them to harm the others. And yet... before their first night in the house is over, one of them will be dead, and it will be clear to the others that among their number is a murderer.

Set in the universe of the worldwide best-selling app Zombies, Run!, this is a murder mystery like no other. Why would anyone still want to kill a fellow human, even after the zombie apocalypse? And having started, can they be stopped? The desire for vengeance, after all, is the way of all flesh.

Great to see Zombies Run on this platform after having used the running app many years ago :)

This was a shorter segment than I would have wanted, and got a little confusing with the character voices / accents. But overall - still as awesome as the original :)

Beautifully crafted story!

This was amazing! A murder/mystery set in a Zombie post-apocalyptic world... I felt it was a little easy to get a suspect, but the twists and turns were pretty fun as well! too bad there wasn't much od Sam Yao (I'm a big fan of his character).

I hope Naomi Alderman writes and produces more of this, it was brilliant!

Creepy and exciting!

A brilliant murder mystery in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. Very clever writing and the cast of narrator, along with the sound effects really did it justice! I definitely recommend it.

Highly entertaining

I liked it.
Story was good and so where the characters. Kept me guessing right to the end. Hope to hear another series.

It reminded me of the time channel 4 made the zombie big brother series. Real people just acting like people and not overpaid voice actors, like a lot of books are.

Thank you

Like Channel 4 ‘Dead Set’ zombie show

I enjoyed the story
It’s light hearted Murder mystery. Murder she wrote with zombies.
It’s set in the world of zombie run the app. So if you used the app you will recognise some of the characters.

Light hearted murder mystery

Really enjoyed this murder mystery!!! I was surprised how much actually! Great story line, excellent sound effects and casting! Loved all the little modern references and I thought the 'detective' was great. I did however work it out but I didn't mind, I've read a lot of this genre so I'm adept! Thank you for a fab audiobook!

Pleasantly surprised!

If you want a zombie survival story, look elsewhere.
If you want an indepth murder mystery which will have you puzzling everything out, you might find something here, but it's far from the best.

What it does do very well however is prevent short episodic listening which is compelling enough to make you want to hear the next episode, and simple enough you can probably figure out a few clues even while distracted.
Excellent to keep you entertained while walking the dog.

Light, free, simple.

To be honest, I listened to the first 5 minutes and gave up. Except later, I was bored and looking for something a little bit different. I listened to all 6 episodes in one session and was genuinely sad to have reached the end. Not for everybody I admit, but I actually enjoyed this and will look with avid interest at other Naomi Alderman offerings. Go on, give it a go!

Good fun and a enjoyable diversion.
