À propos de cet audio

 Meet Me at the Morgue is the story of a kidnapping that led to four murders. In his search for the killer, Howard Cross digs deep into the Los Angeles underworld, finding along the way a beautiful, lost adolescent mourning a dead lover, a suitcase hidden under an aging sadist's bed, and a slovenly gentleman with an ice pick in his neck. Ross Macdonald has never written a story quite like this, and neither has anyone else.©1978 John Ross McDonald (P)2003 Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"One of the fastest moving, snappiest five-and-a-half hours you will ever spend trying to figure out who dun' it....This is a terrific listen....Gardener's work here is amazing....it's hard to think that anyone who enjoys a good mystery wouldn't like this one." (Audiobookstoday.com)
"[A] gorgeous look at the late 1940s....fine listening for Macdonald fans." (AudioFile)

The book was engaging in its way, as crime novels go. I've heard worse stories, worse storytellings. I felt that the main character was one of the very few likable ones. The women were about as badly behaved as the men -deceitful, grasping, conspiring, defensive, self pitying, generally people you wouldn't want to root for. and I'm not just talking about the criminals.

But there was this flavor that I liked, an unselfconscious, unapologetic backdrop, 1950s scenery, attitudes, prejudices, perspectives that give the book's time period away. I think I liked that more than the plot line. it was like somehow going back in time, via a story that didn't intend to bring a time capsule along for the ride.

I liked the early 50s atmosphere. less the story.
