Kirsty Logan
A chilling, immersive audio experience, The Sound at the End follows the eclectic crew of an Arctic research base and the newcomer who may uncover the secrets they’re each desperate to outrun, written by award-winning novelist Kirsty Logan and performed by a full cast.
On a near-abandoned research base in an Arctic ice field, a skeleton crew works to ensure the centre doesn’t collapse amid treacherous storms. Officially, Trieste Grayling arrives in order to explore and film a sunken shipwreck for a documentary film; privately, she's working through a complicated grief. Trieste soon realises she's not the only one who was attracted to this intense isolation in order to escape her ghosts.
Each of the crew members harbour dark secrets: Mal, the ever-competent medic conducting mysterious therapy sessions, Sweetie, the reclusive engineer with scarred hands, Thorsteinn, the aloof diver tender, Avelina, the temperamental base manager whose stories of home don't quite add up, Grace, an underwater welder and recovering addict, and Judd, the erratic former member of a ‘90s boy band. As they begin to reach breaking point, each one's hidden ghosts finally comes into the light.

Hard to tell what kind of story this is at the beginning. Adventure? Mystery? Romance? Naw. It’s a “psychological thriller”
There’s a lot of Reality TV action and dialogue in the middle which seriously bogs it down unless that’s what you came for.
The style is feminist if not misandristic.
Every few minutes, the author describes a moment in poetic detail but they’re living room moments. The wonder of the Arctic outdoors or underwater experience is highly underrealized.
Much remains unexplained: how bodies disappear, how their tent doesn’t blow away in a storm, why the dive hole through 6 feet of ice doesn’t refreeze, how they dive without air tanks or a way to refill them, who maintains their compound and their gear, who sent them there, why they are there, (why an “underwater welder” when there’s nothing to weld?) why no one uses a satellite phone or rescue beacon…
The book starts with some foreshadowing, where Trieste thinks she’s saving a caterpillar by drowning it and she refuses to let her buddy check her gear, eg. There is some lively dialogue and a few interesting characters interspersed with a greater mass of less sensible bits. The ending can only be called “inevitable”.
Last paragraph: Trieste is ostensibly a professional diver, there to film a wreck dive and constantly communicating with her dive buddy yet seems mostly uninterested in diving as well as unknowledgeable. Throughout most of the book I thought she was an obvious fraud and that the other characters must have known that too. Turns out the author is incredibly sloppy, she seems to use the words mask, regulator and helmet almost interchangeably. Her dive activity descriptions are bizarrely impossible like loading a rifle with an arrow or hoisting a sail on a submarine. Her characters seem to converse normally underwater with regulators in their mouths! If you decide this is worth listening to, do not expect it to make sense or for your natural curiosity to be satisfied,
If Ed Wood wrote a virtual reality show
