15,96 €
Osm builds its mystery around a missing year in Michaela's life. Surviving the attack brings no easy answers: memory loss complicates both the investigation and her understanding of her relationships. The search for the shooter becomes intertwined with a psychological reconstruction of the past.
Radka Třeštíková's Osm combines a psychological novel with a crime mystery. One Saturday in March, a young woman named Michaela is found shot. She survives but remains unconscious, and the police do not know who attacked her or why. Suspicion may fall on those closest to her, yet the investigation offers no easy answers. When Michaela wakes from her coma, matters become more complicated: she remembers neither the day of the attack nor the last year of her life. Those missing memories become central to gradually uncovering the relationships and events that preceded the shooting. The audiobook is narrated by Jakub Saic.

What is Osm about?
Michaela is found with a serious gunshot wound, and the police begin looking for someone with a motive to attack her. Her circle presents several possibilities: her fiancé, her best friend, or the family whose children she babysat. But Michaela cannot help the investigators. On waking from her coma, she discovers that she has lost not just the memory of the attack but an entire year of her life. The novel therefore asks more than who pulled the trigger. It gradually returns to the period before the shooting, piecing together the relationships, decisions, and events that changed Michaela's life. Radka Třeštíková uses the crime plot as a framework for a story focused on psychology and relationships. This profile does not reveal the attacker or the ending.
