À propos de cet audio

Two years have passed since the events of the bestselling Christine Falls, and much has changed for Quirke, the irascible, formerly hard-drinking Dublin pathologist. His beloved Sarah is dead, the Judge lies in a convent hospital paralyzed by a devastating stroke, and Phoebe, Quirke's long-denied daughter, has grown increasingly withdrawn and isolated.

With much to regret from his last inquisitive foray, Quirke ought to know better than to let his curiosity get the best of him. Yet when an almost-forgotten acquaintance comes to him about his beautiful young wife's apparent suicide, Quirke's "old itch to cut into the quick of things, to delve into the dark of what was hidden" is roused again. As he begins to probe further into the shadowy circumstances of Deirdre Hunt's death, he discovers many things that might better have remained hidden, as well as grave danger to those he loves. Haunting, masterfully written, and utterly mesmerizing in its nuance, The Silver Swan fully lives up to the promise of Christine Falls and firmly establishes Benjamin Black (a.k.a. John Banville) among the greatest of crime writers.

Ce que les critiques en disent

<p>“The eagerly awaited sequel to <i>Christine Falls</i> is brought to lief by none other than James Bond himself, Timothy Dalton, in a reading so good it will make listeners giddy with delight...It's all thrilling, honest, and raw.” —<i>AudioFile</i><br><br>“...the second in [the] Quirke series, offers an excellent opportunity for Dalton to flash his acting chops. Dalton's reading is hushed, intense and dramatic, read as if being performed onstage.” —<i>Publishers Weekly</i><br><br>“Dalton…gives a gritty, growling reading that will practically make you smell the rain on the dark Dublin streets.” —<i>St.Petersburg Times</i><br><br>“Dalton's highly dramatic, fully differentiated performance keeps the plot moving swiftly and the net tightening as the novel builds to its surprising conclusion.” —KLIATT</p>

Another enjoyable crime book with a likeable though unconventional detective. Made even more pleasant through the dulcet tones of Timothy Dalton.
One wish though writing as a Dubliner: If only somebody could have walked with Mr. Dalton through the correct pronunciation of the city’s much loved street names. I would be happy to help!

Quirke follows his own pattern, again.
