Über diesen Titel

Brought to you by Penguin.

The first Jackson Brodie novel: literary crime from the prizewinning, number-one bestselling author of Big Sky and Transcription.

Cambridge is sweltering, during an unusually hot summer. To Jackson Brodie, former police inspector turned private investigator, the world consists of one accounting sheet - Lost on the left, Found on the right - and the two never seem to balance.

Surrounded by death, intrigue and misfortune, his own life haunted by a family tragedy, Jackson attempts to unravel three disparate case histories and begins to realise that in spite of apparent diversity, everything is connected...

'An astonishingly complex and moving literary detective story that made me sob but also snort with laughter. It's the sort of novel you have to start rereading the minute you've finished it' Guardian

©2004 Kate Atkinson (P)2014 AudioGo Ltd. Published by Random House Audiobooks Cosy Crime Krimis Polizei Privatdetektive

The story just keeps rambling along. While that can have its perks, this audiobook would definitely have benefitted from a male reader. Especially since the story is told from the perspective of the male protagonist.

Moreover, the voice of the reader is grating and she over-performs.

like a slow-moving train

My goodness, I've rarely been so bugged by a book. Most of the characters are annoying (not helped by the excessive over-performance of the reader), hardly anything happens in the story but the listener gets taken on endless detours, most of them covering some sort of sexual experience of one of the characters - needless to say, they don't add anything to the plot, I assume they are meant to add "character"... at some point I started skipping forward whenever such a detour occurred.

I only finished to hear how it all comes together in the end, which if I'm honest was not worth it...

As mentioned, the reader does not help - every single sentence is dramatically performed, even the most banal information is delivered with undeserved relish that made me roll my eyes more often than not.

Couldn't wait for it to be over
