About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
TO ACHIEVE GREATNESS, HE MUST SACRIFICE EVERYTHING . . .
An original thriller, a story of glamour, secrets and obsession
Actor Adam Sealey owes his Oscar nomination to mentor Jonathan Dors. It was Jonathan who trained him in the Method: digging deep into personal trauma in pursuit of the greatest performance.
It gets results.
But there’s a price.
For Adam, it cost him the love of his life.
And then there’s what happened twenty years ago.
An awful secret he’s buried deep inside.
Yet as Oscar night beckons, someone is threatening to dig up the truth.
Adam is finally in the spotlight that he craved for so long.
But it might just mean the world is watching as everything falls apart . . .

The author is clearly interested in people and psychology.
Beautifully written.
Engaging++.
Dark and thoughtful yet compelling.
Despite my disdain for many of the characters’ behaviours it’s difficult not to empathise with their failings and humanity.
I dislike what some of them do without disliking them.
It’s a lot like life.
Very entertaining and thought provoking whilst giving an insight into the mind of creative acting and a tutorial of sorts on Hamlet.
Loved it!
Psychology of characterisation and the superb writing.
