About this listen

Strange things bring people together. Things like a tragic death.

31st December 1999. The cusp of a new millennium. Six friends gather for their traditional New Year Celebration - this year, in a lakeside cabin on the outskirts of Prague. In every group of friends, each has a role. All except Gael that is. The outsider. The one who wasn't there when it happened.

Dhan was the jester of the group, until he disappears, taking part of their future with him. In spite of this monumental loss, the remainder of the group has gathered every other New Year’s Eve since to remember Dhan's death and to celebrate their friendship.

But what if that friendship is built on a lie?

Two decades later, on their final celebration together it's Gael’s turn to organise their reunion and she is determined to uncover the truth of what exactly happened that night 20 years ago. In a snowy chalet on New Year's Eve, she starts asking questions. Old wounds reopen and a dark secret comes to light, sending a shockwave through their lives.

Truth comes at a price.

A character-driven psychological drama told from five different perspectives in both past and present, Odd Numbers weaves a tapestry of mystery, grief, survivor's guilt, lies, secrets and how humans change and evolve over time.

J.J. Marsh is a Welsh author based in Switzerland, a founding member of the award-winning author collective Triskele Books and the Swiss Ambassador for The Alliance of Independent Authors.

Much Ado About Nothing

The way that this book is described would have one believe that this is going to be a suspenseful, tense, creepy tale involving several friends with a lot of history in an isolated setting and at least one murder.
The description of this story is misleading.
This is no locked room murder mystery in an isolated setting.
It’s more a character study about each of the individual relationships, told over a 20 year span in two year increments.
It’s never creepy.
It’s never suspenseful, and worst of all it’s downright silly, insulting.
Let’s just say that there are a couple of critical elements that go far beyond a simple “suspension of disbelief” situation.
The worst part is that not one of these characters that we spend so much time investing in never get what’s coming to them.
They are all vapid, shallow, selfish, and have no relatable or redeemable qualities.
There was such potential here.
And it was completely squandered.
This was ok to pass the time while I fell asleep and that’s about it.
The performance was exceptional, the book is not.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
