Nine people arrive one night on Chelsea Bridge. They've never met. But at the same time, they run and leap to their deaths. Each of them received a letter in the post that morning, a pre-written suicide note and a page containing only four words: Nothing important happened today.

That is how they knew they had been chosen to become a part of The People Of Choice: A mysterious suicide cult whose members have no knowledge of one another.

By the morning, People Of Choice are appearing around the globe: a decapitation in Germany, a public shooting at a university in Bordeaux; in Illinois, a sports team stands around the centre circle of the football pitch and pulls the trigger of the gun pressed to the temple of the person on their right. It becomes a movement.

A social media page that has lain dormant for four years suddenly has thousands of followers. The police are under pressure to find a link between the cult members, to locate a leader that does not seem to exist.

But how do you stop a cult when people don't know they're members?

Critic reviews

'A thrill of genuine discomfort ... horribly addictive.' (The Telegraph)
All stars

I very rarely write reviews but this was so horrible I had to. The only thing this book would be good for is as an insomnia treatment. I only listened to about 1/4 of the book and have no desire to even go and read the end to see what happens, which I sometimes do with a bad book. I just could care less that's how bad this book is. If I could give if zero Stars I would.

So bad!

It's not necessary to read Good Samaritans first, but that book is really solid and ties a few things together.

I don't usually write reviews but most of the negatives I've seen are like, "I read the first quarter of this and it was so boring I stopped", and whie I did start tiring of the format in the beginning, it develops strongly after the first wave of suicides into what I found to be a really satisfying conclusion. The suicide content can be rough, and expect a very small amount of detectivy stuff. I liked it and think the hate is misguided! Def picking up Hinton Hollow Death Trip next.

I guess I love a good misanthropic narrator
