Iain Pears
A return to the form that launched Iain Pears onto bestseller lists around the world: a vast historical mystery, marvelous in its ambition and ingenius in its complexity.
In his most dazzling novel since the groundbreaking New York Times bestseller An Instance of the Fingerpost, Iain Pears tells the story of John Stone, financier and arms dealer, a man so wealthy that in the years before World War One he was able to manipulate markets, industries, and indeed entire countries and continents.
A panoramic novel with a riveting mystery at its heart, Stone’s Fall is a quest to discover how and why John Stone dies, falling out of a window at his London home.
Chronologically, it moves backwards–from London in 1909 to Paris in 1890, and finally to Venice in 1867– and in the process the quest to uncover the truth plays out against the backdrop of the evolution of high-stakes international finance, Europe’s first great age of espionage, and the start of the twentieth century’s arms race.
Like Fingerpost, Stone’s Fall is an intricately plotted and richly satisfying puzzle–an erudite work of history and fiction that feels utterly true and oddly timely–and marks the triumphant return of one of the world’s great storytellers.

Reseñas de la Crítica
“When I read Iain Pears' An Instance of the Fingerpost years ago, I thought it was so brilliantly plotted, so compulsively entertaining, so utterly engrossing that I gave it to my father and said, 'This is the new Dickens.' Stone's Fall is better.”—Malcolm Gladwell
“Mr. Pears’s assured command of period history, language, lore, and attitudes is formidable.”–The Wall Street Journal

A gem with some minor flaws, but still a gem nevertheless.

An aside, I love that the Ph.Eagles beat the N.E. Patripoffs, who have cheated as well as committed felonious crimes in at least two separate events, using a win at all costs, to excuse going out of bounds. Don’t forget there are many samples out the. May the Lord Jesus Christ
Stone’s Fall is frenetic and plodding

Stone’s Fall is a marvelous book. Is there a corrected version of the audiobook that includes the missing paragraphs? Part 3, Venice, 1867, chapter 56 at 29:30 is MISSING the last 11 paragraphs beginning at the words “more violent” to the end of the chapter. Note: in paper version of the book, this is chapter 6 in part 3 of the book pages 479 - 480

I enjoyed the style and story. I found that I listened almost straight through each narrator, taking a break between parts.
A good story well written and narrated, sad and a little depressing.
Wish I had read the hard copy first
