À propos de cet audio

'And in Edinburgh of all places. I mean, you never think of that sort of thing happening in Edinburgh, do you...?' 'That sort of thing' is the brutal abduction and murder of two young girls. And now a third is missing, presumably gone to the same sad end. Detective Sergeant John Rebus, smoking and drinking too much, his own young daughter spirited away south by his disenchanted wife, is one of many policemen hunting the killer. And then the messages begin to arrive: knotted string and matchstick crosses - taunting Rebus with pieces of a puzzle only he can solve.

I love this story. I often fall asleep while listening to it, comfortable in the knowledge that by now I could recite most of it by heart! a must for Rebus fans

I listen to this one over and over

All the things I love about the noir genre… the sex moans from the narrator felt a tad awkward tho.

Classic origin story for complex noir hero

Considering how long ago this was written it’s still a great story. I had some personal issues with the objectification of Rebus’ 11 year old daughter but at that time, people’s ideals were different I suppose. Still disturbing and brings about the question, what is wrong with men?

Good read

Definitely enjoyed this story, but would have liked some more details for the main characters. It just felt like knowing more would have given more closure at the end, but I like storybook endings, so maybe that’s an unfair criticism.

Very decent

I have read multiple books in this series, but found this one slow. Maybe it's because it's the first one. Also, for me, it was hard to follow with the reader having an accent. I know that is a me problem, but it would have been helpful to know before settling in to listen.

Hard to understand

I am trying to figure out how I ended up listening to this book. Maybe someone recommended it? Hard to imagine. This was the worst book I have read/listened to in a very, very long time. it started out ok, but then it rambled on and on just to fill space. It was impossible to tell the characters apart when I even cared. Towards the end I felt like I'd invested to much to give up, but then couldn't wait until it was over.

Utterly painful

Narrator was difficult to understand turning an enjoyable novel into a frustrating exercise in comprehension.

Too difficult to understand the narrator

This book was such a disappointment. Character development was poor. Writing was surprisingly bad. I thought I had stumbled onto my next series but I won’t be reading anymore of this series. Just painful.

Extremely Disappointing

Amazing story , author is great, the only reason I know this is because I had to buy a shelf copy and read it myself because this narrator simply does not speak clearly. I have no issues with narrators having heavy accents. In fact I rather enjoy some of them. But this guy just doesn't pronounce his words he slurs them together and mutters things unintelligibly to the point where even with headphones on fully focusing with volume up and the actual word in front of me in the hard copy of the book, I still can't understand what he is saying. He butchers very important parts to the point where I couldn't follow the story and important meanings were missed because he doesn't speak the entire words or he merges them together. I had to return it and give up on the entire series even though they are amazing books. I hope to find a copy with a better narrator reading it.

Amazing author great story bad narrator
