"...deceptive and riveting novel. A Nearly Normal Family will make you question everything you know about those closest to you.” ― Karin Slaughter, internationally bestselling author

M.T. Edvardsson’s A Nearly Normal Family is a gripping psychological thriller that forces the listener to consider: how far would you go to protect the ones you love? In this twisted narrative of love and murder, a horrific crime makes a seemingly normal family question everything they thought they knew about their life―and each other.

Seventeen-year-old Stella stands accused of the brutal murder of a man almost fifteen years her senior. She is an ordinary teenager from an upstanding local family. What reason could she have to know a shady businessman, let alone to kill him?

Stella’s father, a pastor, and mother, a criminal defense attorney, find their moral compasses tested as they defend their daughter, while struggling to understand why she is a suspect. Told in an unusual three-part structure, A Nearly Normal Family asks the questions: How well do you know your own children? How far would you go to protect them?

Ich sage Euch, der Mann düst in den drehfreien Tagen von Manchester zum Audiobook-Studio nach London, um noch mindestens zwei weitere Audiobooks zeitgleich einzulesen. Und ein paar Daniel-Miller-Szenen in Berlin hätte er auch glatt noch einschieben können.

Oder macht es sogar.

Oder macht es sogar.

Armitage, Watson and Maguire cast in Pan Mac thriller audio

Published May 23, 2019 by Mark Chandler


Pan Macmillan has cast actors Richard Armitage, Emily Watson and Georgia Maguire for the audio version of upcoming thriller A Nearly Normal Family, which the publisher scooped at auction during last year’s London Book Fair.

The psychological suspense novel by Swedish writer Mattias Edwardsson, bought by publishing director Vicki Mellor in a four-way battle, will be published in e-book and audio on 25th June, with the hardback edition following on 11th July.

Armitage, best known for “The Hobbit” and “Oceans 8”, is an audio veteran and plays the part of Adam, with BAFTA winner Watson and “Patrick Melrose” actor Maguire as his wife and daughter Stella respectively.

The book tells the story of 19-year-old Stella, accused of the brutal murder of a much older man, and is told through the family’s three different perspectives.

The trio have also recorded short lines in character to be used in the book’s marketing campaign.
