À propos de cet audio

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...

Ce que les critiques en disent

Her best book yet, 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
Sharp humour, together with a number of unexpected twists makes this a typically pacey and intelligent read
A greedy feast of a story by a masterful author...A profound, exciting and lingering read
Triumphant...Her best book yet...A tragi-comedy for our times
To read it is to enter a hall of mirrors...Part complex family drama, part mystery, it winds up having more depth and vividness than ordinary thrillers and more thrills than ordinary fiction...A wonderfully tricky book
As satisfying as anything dreamed up by Raymond Chandler, but the beauty of the novel lies in its spot-on characterizations, pitch perfect observations of contemporary culture and a sharp, wisecracking narrative voice
Shot through with sharp, black humour, and introducing a loveable hero in Brodie, this is storytelling that satisfies at every level
Atkinson is very good indeed... more satisfying than many detective novels. Everyone who picks it up will feel compelled to follow it through to the last page
Brilliantly playful, witty and original... massive and consistent talent for comedy
Intriguing and affecting... she has also created a compelling central chracter in world-weary private investigator Jackson Brodie, who is determined to bring justice to all the lives that lie fractured around him

It's sad that the version performed by Jason Isaacs (he "is" Jackson Brodie for many) is abridged but this one, with Susan Jameson reading, is the full novel. It is wonderful - at once a mystery (or a series of mysteries), a heart-wrenching series of stories and a lot of comedy based in human nature. I do wish that all of the series read by Jason Isaacs was not abridged because, having played Jackson in the tv series, to me, he really "embodies" Jackson Brodie.

The start of a great series

Disliked all the characters. The narration made all the women sound terrible, the plot was disjointed , full of extraneous information. I can’t say anything positive about it. I didn’t even care how it ended.

Exhaustingly repetitive,
