Resumen del Editor

“Amina Akhtar’s Almost Surely Dead is a witty, fresh psychological thriller that’s part stalker thriller, part ghost story. This book took turns I never saw coming. I was up all night, tearing through the pages as the mysterious pieces came together, leading to an explosive conclusion.”—Mindy Kaling

A psychological thriller with a twist, Almost Surely Dead is a chilling account of how one woman’s life spins out of control after a terrifying—and seemingly random—attempt on her life.

Dunia Ahmed lives an ordinary life—or she definitely used to. Now she’s the subject of a true crime podcast. She’s been missing for over a year, and no one knows if she’s dead or alive. But her story has listeners obsessed, and people everywhere are sporting merch that demands “Find Dunia!”

In the days before her disappearance, Dunia is a successful pharmacist living in New York. The daughter of Pakistani immigrants, she’s coping with a broken engagement and the death of her mother. But then something happens that really shakes up her world: someone tries to murder her.

When her would-be killer winds up dead, Dunia figures the worst is over. But then there’s another attempt on her life…and another. And police suspect someone close to her may be the culprit. Dunia struggles to make sense of what’s happening. And as childhood superstitions seep into her reality, she becomes convinced that someone—or something—is truly after her.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Narrator Kelsey Jaffer, accompanied by a full cast, takes listeners into Dunia's life before her disappearance.… Jaffer, who voices Dunia, is a standout primary narrator. The talented supporting cast engagingly performs the book's podcast sections and maintains tension throughout. A suspenseful psychological thriller, steeped in Pakistani folklore.”Library Journal

“Akhtar’s novel has one foot set firmly in folklore and the other in fast-paced action as Dunia questions whom she can trust and what she will have to do to survive. Though the suspense is real, Akhtar deftly weaves in levity with the campiness of the podcast, and the earnestness of Dunia’s voice keeps the reader rooting for her to outrun her demons. A nimble and eerie thriller.” Kirkus Reviews

“Amina Akhtar delivers a surprising and suspenseful ride. This is a winner.” Publishers Weekly

Interesting

Very unique story. I loved learning all the about the folklore and the culture. Most of the story was very intriguing. The ending let me down. I was expecting so much more.

Amazing and totally different than anything I have read!

So well written , draws you in . The details are fantastic, like how the podcasters mispronounce the main character’s name every single time .

Interesting plot

I love how it went back to her childhood and the present time including her in a podcast very interesting but the ending was cut short for me

Well told

The narration was perfection. This is a wonderfully creepy mystery that keeps you guessing. I practically listened to it non-stop to see what would happen next. I have not yet been disappointed by a South Asian author. Such stories are some of my favorites.

Great twist-good listen

I like the format of this book, the jumps between the past and present, I found easy to understand … the podcast break-ins others didn’t care for I felt fit correctly. What did drive me crazy was the use of “anyways” used by every character, and not just a faux pas of one individual character. I don’t know if it was written like this, or if it was the narrator. Great storyline and a neat twist.

Enjoyed it until the last 3 chapters

Story flowed well. The ending was not good to me. Could have been more believable conclusion.
