About this listen
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

Well crafted tale
Written in a clever, seemingly matter of fact way which makes you want to know what really happened to the various characters.

Pretty good but found it hard to get into
Struggled to follow for the first few chapters, partly the amount of characters and stories and skipping around in time, would have probably been easier to read. However once I got my head round who was who I enjoyed the story and got really into the mystery and finished it quickly. Not groundbreaking but was entertaining and will dip into the rest of the series when I fancy something a bit light but that also keeps you intrigued .

Better to read it yourself!
What a pity this had a terrible narrator! I love Kate Atkinson books but this was spoiled for me.

Genius storyteller
Kate Atkinson is an amazing storyteller, intertwining stories with ease. Narration too plummy, slightly irritating.

Book excellent, performance poor
Reader couldn't be bothered to find out how to pronounce Niamh. Is it really so difficult?

Bit of a plod.
Too much human interest and not enough plot for me. I found the time shifting and different characters point of view difficult to follow. Perhaps in the printed book this is clearer. I won’t be buying any more as definitely not for me.

Another winner from Kate Atkinson
Another very enjoyable novel by Kate Atkinson. I loved the way this entwined several story strands into an intriguing whole.. Wonderful narration from Susan Jameson as well/
