À propos de ce titre

Newly arrived in New Fiddleham, New England, 1890, and in need of a job, Abigail Rook meets R. F. Jackaby, an investigator of the unexplained with a keen eye for the extraordinary - including the ability to see supernatural beings. Abigail has a gift for noticing ordinary but important details, which makes her perfect for the position of Jackaby’s assistant.

On her first day, Abigail finds herself in the midst of a thrilling case: A serial killer is on the loose. The police are convinced it’s an ordinary villain, but Jackaby is certain the foul deeds are the work of the kind of creature whose very existence the local police seem adamant to deny.

While Abigail finds herself drawn to Jackaby’s keen intelligence and his sensitivity to phenomena others barely perceive, her feelings are confused by the presence of Charlie, a handsome young policeman willing to help Jackaby and Abigail on the case. But is Charlie’s offer a sincere desire to be of service, or is some darker motive at work.

It sounds like siri reading at times as well as too whiny which is unfortunate because it is a very quirky and good story. The strange intonation, speech's speed and weird interpretation of Jackaby was also distracting.

funny & whimsical but poorly read

Mir hat besonders die Sprecherin gefallen und wie sie die verschiedenen Charaktere deutlich gemacht hat.

Die Geschichte war sehr spannend aufgebaut.

the story is fun and well-written, and the voice artist does a good job differentiating between the characters. No "high literature", but doesn't try to be - it's a sdetective story with supernatural Holmes and clever Watson

cute quirky story, good speaker

die Welt ist sehr interessant und auch die Charaktere gefallen mir sehr gut. leider ist der 'plottwist' von vorne herein klar und auch der rote Hering stinkt 10 Meter gegen den Wind.
wer darüber hinweg sehen kann wird Spaß mit dem Buch haben

Die Sprecherin und teile der Geschichte waren sehr gut

Enola Holmes comes to mind. The BBC Sherlock Holmes vibe is strong, with all the scarf throwing… YA, set in the US. Our Sherlock is called Jackaby, has a bad dress sense and sees supernatural critters. Nobody believes him. When young Abigail Rook arrives in New England in desperate need of a job, she ends up as his assistant. Someone is murdered, the police has no clue, Jackaby sees something supernatural and off we go.

I listened to the audiobook. It was done well enough, although the narrator did some of the male voices with a very over the top and pressed tone taht grated on me.

The story did not leave much of an impression on me. Abigail is nice, Jackaby is Sherlock-ish, but the murder plot lacked suspense. It just sort of ambled along and it was all pretty shallow. It was mildly amusing. The finale saw some good action, everything was wrapped up nicely.

YA Sherloch Holmes with monsters
