This is strange this is an audiobook about a man being wrongfully admitted into an asylum and at the same time I am reading Asylum, which appears (so far) to be about a woman wrongfully admitted into an asylum. Totally different however.Charlie is a software whizz in a company that has bought out HIS company, thereby making him very wealthy. All is going reasonably well, when strange things start happening around and to Charlie. He is given wrong information via email from a non-existant woman which makes him make a fool of himself at a high-level meeting/ He finds notes he has apparently written to himself reminding him to remember strange things. He has killed someone. He goes to his brother's psychiatrist for some answers, he books himself into a mental hospital, for assessment, or so he thinks. He is on the run.He also has a sick Mother on death's door and a schizophrenic/epileptic brother, Joe, who writes a very popular blog about his mental health journey.Luckily Charlie is able to gain the trust of his brother and Rachel, the psychiatrist, who help him figure out what has gone wrong with his life and who is out to get him.There are some tense, thrilling moments, one of which is when Charlie is hiding in a car, he has just broken into in a parking lot and the police are so close he can hear them breathing.The narrator,Peter Berkrot did an excellent job, and all characters were very easily recognizable. A psycho-thriller about a man who is systematically driven to madness and suicide. Charlie has everything going for him. His IT company was bought out by someone else and paid him beaucoup bucks. He has a nice car, life, etc. But then strange things start happening. He gate crashed a meeting about his new product and was fired. Then he wrote a hit list of people he wanted to kill, or did he? Charlie starts to doubt himself as the facts pile up. The ending is sheer genius. I had guessed at part of it, but certainly not all.
What do You think about Akıl Oyunları (2013)?
Face paced and fully of geeky things, but I understood them. Thank you Daniel for making it so.

Great story and the pace is frantic at times. It is time well spent reading this novel
