Editor reviews
Nobody True, performed in appropriately frantic and bewildered British tones by Jonathan Keeble, is a suspenseful and supernatural story that is a gripping "whodunit" listen.
Jim True is dead. He was killed and brutally dismembered. By whom, he doesn’t know. But he’s going to find out, for Jim True has come back to life as a ghost - no one can hear or see him except for the one who killed him - and he’s going to solve his own murder. The murderer just may be closer to Jim than he realizes.
This is similar in plot to the smash hit 1990 film, Ghost - but not as funny and much more ominous.
Summary
Deadline. Jim True has returned from an out-of-body experience to find he has been brutally murdered and his body mutilated. No one can see him, no one can hear him, no one, except his killer, knows he still exists.
Freed from his body, True embarks on a quest to find his killer and discover why and how he has managed to survive. As he closes in on his murderer, True discovers that even the very people he loved and trusted have betrayed him. He meets his killer, a strange and sinister figure who can also leave his body at will.
An epic and deadly battle ensues between True and a seemingly unstoppable and hideous serial killer - a man now intent on even more murders, including True's wife and child.
James Herbert was one of Britain’s greatest popular novelists and our number-one best-selling writer of chiller fiction. Widely imitated and hugely influential, he wrote 23 novels which have collectively sold over 54 million copies worldwide and been translated into 34 languages.
Born in London in the '40s, James Herbert was art director of an advertising agency before turning to writing fiction in 1975. His first novel, The Rats, was an instant best seller and is now recognised as a classic of popular contemporary fiction. Herbert went on to publish a new top-10 best seller every year until 1988. He wrote six more best-selling novels in the 1990s and three more since: Once, Nobody True and The Secret of Crickley Hall. Herbert died in March 2013 at the age of 69.

Nobody True
A marvellous tale with a wonderful narrator.
I couldn’t stop listening, then didn’t want it to end.
No spoilers, but the ending was as good as the rest of the book.
Well worth listening to, and very highly recommended.

Randall & Hopkirk meets The Walking Dead
Not something I would normally go for but I love this narrator and he delivers the goods, as always. The story gets a little wordy at times, but an interesting premise.

Loved it
I must admit when I first started this audio I was not completely sold, I was about to give up but thought nope keep at it. I was very glad that I did, I loved the story, the way it was told, everything. I really felt for the character James True.
I most definitely would recommend this one.

A Fairly Good Book.
Not J. Herbert's best book, but still quite enjoyable and the narrator was rather good.

Interesting theory beautifully read
I am enjoying this.book very much, yes not quite finished it yet, but definitely will continue. It’s a very unusual premise, well written and excellently read by the amazing narrator, Jonathan Keeble. Really enjoyable time filler

Brilliant story
It’s a long time since I read a James Herbert story I read a fair few of his early stories, like The Rats and the sequels, the fog and Fluke which is a little like this story. I really enjoyed this tale, it’s hard not to enjoy any story narrated by Jonathan Keeble he really does bring the characters to life. I’ll definitely be listening to more James Herbert in the future.

Good bits but ..
I usually enjoy James Herbert but this one was tedious and could have bern much shorter. Very convoluted and repetitive which is a shame because the concept is good. Narrator was excellent.

Excellent read. couldn't put it down.
one of the best books I've read in a long time. initially I had to stay with the narrative, but as the narrator points out, it was necessary to outline the back story.
I can wholeheartedly recommend this book.
very thought provoking.
10 out of 19 and great narration.
