À propos de cet audio

The Elizabethan house of Bracketts is about to be turned into a museum. It had once been the home of the celebrated poet Esmund Chadleigh and is to become a shrine to his life and poetry - but the transition is far from smooth. Carole Seddon had been reluctant to join the Bracketts Board, and now she realises that she should have listened to her instinct. The simmering tension between the board members is about to boil over. A human skeleton is discovered in the kitchen garden, and before too long there is a second body, not yet cold. Murder is no longer just a dreadful possibility but a certainty.

…otherwise great book. (Accent info, below.)

Once again, Simon Brett treats the reader to an interesting mystery fleshed out by quite accurate portrayals of various subcultures and their inhabitants/adherents. Mr. Brett continues his excellent portrayal of a woman with high-functioning autism (/Asperger’s). Particularly realistic is that, owing to her complete ignorance of being autistic, this woman has the typical internal thoughts of the undiagnosed autistic; she berates herself for being different from “regular” persons. I’m hoping that, in a later book, the author has remedy the situation. Given that, even in 2021, the scientific and practical medicine spheres give almost no attention to high-functioning autism in females, and even less diagnoses of such, I’m not holding my breath.

At one point, the author refers to a specific English man’s “attempt at a New York Accent”. This is very ironic, given that the narrator’s repeated attempts at a New York City accent fall extremely short of the mark. I wouldn’t have had any idea WHAT accent the narrator was attempting, if the author hadn’t described it ahead of time. (From this description, it’s a Brooklyn accent, that for some reason is only referred to as a “New York City” one.) Seriously, it has to be the worst attempt by a British English speaker, of the myriad “short of the mark” ones I have heard over the years.
