May 20, 2019: Homicide detective Mallory is in Edinburgh to be with her dying grandmother. While out on a jog one evening, Mallory hears a woman in distress. She’s drawn to an alley, where she is attacked and loses consciousness. May 20, 1869: Housemaid Catriona Thomson had been enjoying a half-day off, only to be discovered that night in a lane, where she’d been strangled and left for dead. When Mallory wakes up in Catriona's body in 1869, she must put aside her shock and adjust quickly to the reality.

Charlie Reade looks like a regular high school kid, great at baseball and football, a decent student. But he carries a heavy load. His mom was killed in a hit-and-run accident when he was 10, and grief drove his dad to drink. Charlie learned how to take care of himself—and his dad. Then, when Charlie is 17, he meets a dog named Radar and his aging master, Howard Bowditch, a recluse in a big house at the top of a big hill, with a locked shed in the backyard. Sometimes strange sounds emerge from it.

Jess needs a fresh start. She’s broke and alone, and she’s just left her job under less than ideal circumstances. Her half-brother Ben didn’t sound thrilled when she asked if she could crash with him for a bit, but he didn’t say no, and surely everything will look better from Paris. Only when she shows up – to find a very nice apartment, could Ben really have afforded this? – he’s not there.

I order another bourbon, neat. This is the drink that will flip the switch. I don’t even know how I got here, to this place, to this point. Something is happening to me lately. I’m drinking too much. My sheets are soaking wet when I wake up from nightmares of decaying corpses. I order another drink and swig it, trying to forget about the latest case I can’t shake. Crime solving for me is more complex than the challenge of the hunt, or the process of piecing together a scientific puzzle. The thought of good people suffering drives me to the point of obsession.

The new head however is convinced that the teacher's death is suspicious and quietly calls in Sarah Edwards. With her one-time detective partner, Jack Brennan, back in America, Sarah is at first reluctant to take on the case. But when she does get involved, it soon becomes clear that the tragic accident might really be a case of murder - and even Sarah herself could be in danger.

This collection of 25 Hercule Poirot adventures is compiled from short stories written by Agatha Christie for The Sketch magazine in 1923 from March to December. In these stories, including "The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim", "The Veiled Lady", and "The Adventure of the Egyptian Tomb", the eccentric private detective slowly and surely solves mysteries involving jealousy, revenge, and greed. These stories were well-received at the time and cemented Christie's reputation as the worthy successor to Arthur Conan Doyle.

Outstanding story!
It should come as no surprise to ANYONE reading/seeing this review, that the second this was announced I jumped all over it and devoured it ASAP.
Now, obviously you are aware of my fanatical devotion to all things Pyper. But – to be honest – I was very worried about this one. Not that I didn’t think I wouldn’t like it. No, that I wouldn’t even be able to enjoy it. I’ve never done a single audio book before. I’m a very methodical reader and have a schedule and like to stay with it. I also don’t like distractions and enjoy being able to go back and re-read sentences, passages etc and digest sections.
Don’t get me wrong – if you love audio books, all the power to you – but for me, it’s always been tough to consider. I don’t have the time to sit and listen. That’s my reality.
But for this – I knew I’d need to force myself out of my comfort zone and attempt it.
A few things before we dive deeper into what makes ‘Oracle’ tick.
The first – I actually really enjoyed listening to this. It took me maybe three or four chapters to find a groove and to figure out the speed at which I found it to be most enjoyable (1.4x for me).
The second – Joshua Jackson absolutely NAILS this narration. I have no experience with anyone else, but his was picture perfect for narrating the story, for the characters and his delivery specifically for The Bone Man was phenomenal. I’d have to imagine he’s already under contract for the sequel drama ‘Oracle: The Dreamland Murders.’
Lastly – even with this being read by someone else and me not reading this – this is 1000000% an Andrew Pyper book. From the way sentences are crafted, characters dialogue, setting and environment as a character. Time and time again, you know you’re in Pyper’s masterful hands.
What I liked: Nate Russo is a haunted man. Suffering from an ability to connect with people and see events and horrible moments through touch, he’s not only running from his childhood, but also running from the feeling he somehow failed his family.
Pyper takes a simple man and a simple story and infuses it with all of the best bits from his previous work. This is crime-fiction, psychological thriller and haunted house all done to the nth degree. We get the dread of ‘The Guardians’ the hunt of ‘The Demonologist’ and the never ending fear of ‘The Killing Circle.’
But at the heart of this story, we get Nate Russo (who is a full on blend of Bartholomew Crane/Patrick Rush/Danny Orchard/David Ullman) who knows the thing that haunted him in his childhood home, the thing he called The Bone Man, is ultimately responsible for not only Russo’s gift, but also the mysterious disappearances Nate is now involved in solving.
Pyper weaves a fast-paced-who-done-it narrative, while using the small town aspect to make everyone a possible suspect and keeping the reader (listener) guessing with deflections and landmines all over the place. I would estimate that over a dozen times I said to myself ‘ah ha! it’s this character or that character’ and each and every single time I was wrong.
With The Bone Man, Andrew has finally delivered a true ‘monster’ story. The only other book he’s released with anything close to this would be ‘The Damned’ with Ash trying desperately to lure her brother Danny to the underworld. Here, we get a real/imagined, flesh-and-blood boogeyman which made me almost shout with joy when I realized that we were being given this type of story from an author as deft as Pyper. And guess what? He nails that character.
The Bone Man was absolutely terrifying. Every single time Jackson would slip into that voice, that timber and deliver the lines of The Bone Man, it felt like it was right beside me, as Nate did himself. And the beauty of The Bone Man character was that not only did we get a horrific and truly awful back story, but we had a WHY. A why to this man, this creature doing what it was doing and ultimately why he choose these innocent kids over and over again.
The secondary characters were great, Fernandes (I hope I spelled that correctly) and Tillman making for great cohorts to both work with Nate but also to keep him in check when he goes off the rails.
And I’ve often mentioned how Pyper utilizes setting so well. Here, the absolute best set piece was Russo’s childhood home, a place of darkened floor boards and wallpaper peeling from the walls. The descriptions of this place were so well done, so lush and vivid that you could picture it and smell it as though you were there.
*As a side note – I know some of you were thrown off when Joshua Jackson was announced as the narrator. For me, I smiled from ear to ear. Just ask my wife. A few years back I wrote an essay on how Andrew Pyper and The Tragically Hip made me a better writer. Within I reference one of my all-time favorite movies – One Week. Starring? That’s right – Joshua Jackson. You know who has a cameo in it? Gord Downie. The circle/cycle continues. Amazing.
What I didn’t like: It is hard to actually discuss what I didn’t like here – as I need to stay spoiler free – but this is the best I can do: the person ultimately responsible for the main events in this story – I wish we had a bit more of them earlier on and a bit more of their involvement. I can’t describe more of that, but when you listen to this and want to discuss it more later, feel free to DM me.
Why you should buy this: I’ll state this here and now (even though I’ve been practically begging for this since it was announced!) but this really does need to be released as a novel. Not only for those unable to hear or listen to audiobooks, but I think Andrew’s once again delivered a masterclass in story telling and how to phenomenally lay out your beginning, middle and ending. If you’re an Andrew fan, you’re already excited to get on this, but for those who haven’t experienced Pyper’s work yet – this showcases why he’s a master at crime fiction/dark fiction/psychological thrillers and emotional horror. He has a way of weaving words around and having them gnaw at your soul.
Another prime example of why Andrew Pyper is my favorite author. Now, I sit back and await the next novel.

Great expectations, but this one fell short
I love Andrew Pyper and enjoy Joshua Jackson. I know Jackson from Fringe, and thought he'd be good for this story - I was excited to listen to it. But his performance in this was not good at all. I'm amazed by how many are praising it. Screen acting and reading performance are clearly different skills sets. His pacing is erratic, he frequently forgets to change back to his "regular" voice after speaking a sentence in a character voice, and his typically low pitch is so gravelly here it's often painful to listen to. He sounds like maybe at some point in his life he had training to lower his voice below its natural range. It felt like he was working with little prep and no direction, no one listening to the files and giving feedback at all.
I ended up disappointed in the story overall. I'm not sure whether it's just not one of Andrew Pyper's strongest, or if I was so distracted by the shortcomings of the narration that it negatively affected my enjoyment and assessment of the novel. At some point I may try reading it in print to see whether it's better that way.
It's not going to put me off of watching Joshua Jackson again or of reading more Andrew Pyper novels, but I can't recommend this particular combination.
If nothing else, this book gave me a renewed appreciation for the talent and skill of great audiobook performers. Being an actor is not enough to make you excel in this arena.

So so
I don't understand why people are so enthusiastic about the narration. to me, Joshua Jackson's narration is monotone, pitched too low for his voice, and cliche tough guy with issues. Of course, the author is responsible for the cliches, but the narrator could have breathed more authenticity into the protagonist. The story is moderately entertaining, but could have been based on more factual experiences from real psychics. Nate could have and should have done his research, as could Andrew Pyper.

Loved it!
Listening to Joshua Jackson was such a treat, I have always loved his voice, and he did a great job narrating different tones for different characters, it didn't sound awkward or phony to me. And the story was gripping! I didn't want to stop listening, and I didn't want it to end. I hope there's a sequel!

Not Pyper's best
Normally a big Andrew Pyper fan, but this story fell short for me. The main character was a caricature of a "man's-man" hard-boiled detective, to the point where there was no discernible personality to him. Not even Joshua Jackson's excellent narration could breathe a bit of believability into him. The lack of a sympathetic MC made it difficult to care enough to make it to the end.

Good narration, slow uninspired story
Definitely not a title you should be spending your money or credit on but as a free title might be worth a listen if you fast forward bits of it. I struggled to stay awake in the middle, and even if I missed some parts, I could follow along. Slow, long and not the most exciting story line, the narrator did a great job though.

Kept me listening
This was a great find. I don’t usually like psychological thrillers but this one was soft and very interesting. I could listen to Joshua Jackson all day long. ~T

I am in awe!
This was a gripping, addictive thriller. I was —and still am— on an emotional roller-coaster. In the beginning I tried to work while I listened but by the end of the first hour I was on the couch absolutely spellbound. Oracle is by far one of the best audiobooks I've ever listened to, I can't wait for the rest of the series. Joshua Jackson is a natural storyteller! 10/10 a must listen!

Painful to listen to.
If you pull out all the garbage, this might make a decent short story. Too many cheap clichés, useless descriptions and ridiculous analogies, topped with a terrible narration made it difficult to get through. I love Joshua Jckson, but he clearly wasn't trained for this.
The author manages to keep the suspense going to hold your interest, but this could have been so much better - in both the writing style and the narrator's perfirmance.
