A Novel

De: Kate Atkinson

Narrado por: Ellen Archer

The third installment in Kate Atkinson's wildly beloved series of Jackson Brodie Mysteries: a complex tale of murder, coincidence, and connected lives.

On a hot summer day, Joanna Mason's family slowly wanders home along a country lane. A moment later, Joanna's life is changed forever...

On a dark night thirty years later, ex-detective Jackson Brodie finds himself on a train that is both crowded and late. Lost in his thoughts, he suddenly hears a shocking sound...

At the end of a long day, 16-year-old Reggie is looking forward to watching a little TV. Then a terrifying noise shatters her peaceful evening. Luckily, Reggie makes it a point to be prepared for an emergency...

These three lives come together in unexpected and deeply thrilling ways in the latest novel from Kate Atkinson, the critically acclaimed author who Harlan Coben calls "an absolute must-read."

"As a reader, I was charmed. As a novelist, I was staggered by Kate Atkinson's narrative wizardry." -- Stephen King©2008 Kate Atkinson; (P)2008 Hachette Audio

"Audie Award winner Ellen Archer...captures each character's nuances well. Highly recommended."—Library Journal

A great story ruined by horrible narration

I love Kate Atkinson's complex characters and the twisty plots she creates. This was the first time I listened to one of her books and was too distracted by the narration to appreciate the quality of her writing. It's truly cringe-worthy narration. What a pity.

Beautifully written

Kate Atkinson is such a wonderful writer! Love her JB series. Ellen Archer does an excellent job in the narration. The Characters and story are beautifully rendered and the narration such a joy to listen too. A series for those who don’t need a straight line in their detective stories, but for those who enjoy the winding and weaving of character studies, moving life experiences and elegantly detailed writing incased in a detective novel.

Slow to start, then burns steadily

with a wonderfully intricate plot. No one can write blood and gore in a way that carries moral lessons of love like Atkinson. This one gives us Reggie, the extraordinary. And narrated with great passion.

Great listen!

Complex and extremely well written, with wonderful characters. I really enjoyed the narration as well.

Scottish accent was terrible.

Hate to say that the narrator's attempt at a Scottish accent was so bad that I almost gave up on the whole thing. She was good despite that, but I wish she would've just used her own English accent.
