About this listen

This program features multicast narration.

Succession meets Megan Abbott in this seductive, technological suspense about the dramatic downfall of one of America’s most affluent families.

"Terrifying and uncanny.” —Katy Hays, New York Times bestselling author of The Cloisters

The old-money Wieland family has it all—wealth, status, power. They’re also famously cursed.

Clara and her brother, Teddy, grew up on a small island in Maine in the shadow of their parents’ tragic deaths, haunted by rumors and paparazzi. Fourteen years later, they’ve mostly put their turbulent past to rest. Teddy has married Clara’s best friend, Jess, and the three of them have moved back home to take over the sprawling, remote family mansion known as Vantage Point.

Then Teddy decides to run for the Senate—an unnerving prospect made much worse when intimate videos of Clara are leaked online. The most frightening part is that she doesn't remember filming any of them. Are the videos real? Or are they deepfakes? Is someone trying to take down the Wielands once and for all?

Everyone thinks Clara is losing her grasp on reality. But she knows the truth: the videos are only the beginning. Years ago, the curse destroyed her parents. Now, it’s coming for her.

Sara Sligar, the critically acclaimed author of Take Me Apart, returns with a shocking family drama full of suspense. Brimming with palpable tension, Vantage Point carefully unravels a twisted web of family secrets and political ambition that raises questions about the nature of “truth” in our digital age.

A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

Critic reviews

"Vantage Point oozes atmosphere and tension—I was seduced by the fabulously wealthy and famously cursed Wieland family and could not stop turning the pages until I learned every last one of their dark, dynastic secrets."—Jessica Knoll, New York Times bestselling author of Bright Young Women and Luckiest Girl Alive

Vantage Point is a thriller for our times, where politics meets paranoia, and technology turns into terror. Sara Sligar has tapped into our most contemporary fears and turned them into a feast of a story. I devoured this book.”—Janelle Brown, New York Times-bestselling author of Pretty Things and I’ll Be You

"Vantage Point is a haunting, pitch perfect exploration of paranoia and perception, the ways we craft our identity both publicly and in our own minds, and the fine line between loyalty and complicity, power and control. Sara Sligar is that rare writer whose high concept is matched by faultless prose, rich emotional insight, and a vein of delicious dark humor that bleeds when pressed. This is a novel to devour, then savor. I loved every mind-bending page."—Katie Gutierrez, author of national bestseller More Than You'll Ever Know

The book was good and kept me going. But it was slow at times and didn’t deliver the type of ending I had hoped for. But you may like it better.

This book got me hooked from the epilogue. Loved it and the end was creepy.

This was an engaging thriller that kept me on edge, leaving me questioning everything and feeling as disoriented as the characters. The concept was fresh and unique, and I haven't come across anything quite like it. The setting also added so much to the atmosphere. A fantastic read!

Unique thriller!

A well done take on Succession here, with Teddy being the character I tried to like but couldn't. Not a believer in curses, but, an interesting novel, nevertheless.

Not bad for the first of her novels I've read

Was the property haunted or the people haunting? Fun read for horror afficionado. The ending was suspenseful.

Good gothic horror

This book is very engaging. With great characters that you care about and of course the social media role is spot on. I just finished it and I was NOT expecting that ! Wow 😮 definitely recommend

Really Good Book !

Tedious and uninteresting characters. Kept waiting for it to become funny or weird or scary. But it just stayed long. Nothing else

What a disappointment .

I did not finish this one because the insipid characters ruined the story. Most were stereotypes, and the attempts at humor were out of place and eye rolling (self-deprecating self-destructive sister character was the main culprit with those).

An ok premise gone bad
