A week before Christmas, a young photographer discovers a plastic-wrapped corpse amid the sand dunes north of Cape Town. The only thing found on the corpse is a dead iPhone, but it doesn't take long for the police to identify the body as that of Ernst Richter - the tech whiz behind MyAlibi, an Internet service that provides unfaithful partners with sophisticated cover stories to hide affairs.

Enjoyable story spoilt by unacceptable performance
Revisado: 12-11-15
Would you listen to Icarus again? Why?
No. Simon Vance reading Icarus is like Danny Glover's narration of The Long Walk To Freedom. Terrible. Please can we get some authenticity into the narration, nothing irks me more than have mispronunciation of such a magnitude that you actually have to re-listen to finally understand that a simple South African word is being butchered. Please get Saul Reichlin to do the narration.
What other book might you compare Icarus to and why?
Long Walk to Freedom - narrated by Danny Glover instead of John Khani. The same terrible non contextual rubbish. The story is always only as good as the telling!
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Hugely. How can a non South African narrator be used? He could not pronounce everyday South Africanisms and it just sucked.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No...it grated on me due to the performance
