Upon a Dark Night

Inspector Peter Diamond Investigation Series, Book 5

De: Peter Lovesey

Narrado por: Michael Healy

A young woman is dumped, injured and unconscious, in a private hospital's parking lot. She is an amnesiac with no memory prior to her discovery by hospital personnel. Detective Inspector Peter Diamond of the Bath homicide squad is unwilling to become involved. He has other, more important cases to solve: a woman has plunged to her death from the roof of a local landmark while half the young people of Bath partied below, and an elderly farmer has shot himself.

Are these apparent suicides what they seem, or are there sinister forces at work? And might the amnesiac woman hold the key to both cases?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Such a tangled plot would snare an author of less skill, but Lovesey maintains virtuosic control and delivers an unmistakable highlight in a long career already well-garlanded with awards and acclaim." ( Publishers Weekly)

I love Peter Lovesey.

Delight to read from start to finish, and the narrator was spot on! He caught on to every nuance.

This one is a winner!

The characters are very real with a sprinkling of humor that is welcome. The story is complex enough to keep your attention.

Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Yes, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am about to embark on the next one!! Great characters, intriguing mysteries, overall for me 5/5! Always something new, something completely unexpected! The narrator for these audiobooks is also superb!

Really?

So a woman protects an innocent young woman by hiding her from a killer. But had she turned him into the police in the first place, another young woman’s life would have been spared. So why does Diamond tell her she saved Rose his life? It’s ridiculous. In what possible way does this make sense?

Not the best.

This is the third time I have come across a reader who always says "a" to rhyme with "hay" instead of "fluff". It drives you crazy. Readers must STOP doing this. Another reader always said "thee" for "the", never "thuh" which is how most of us pronounce "the".
The story is not like most Peter Diamond books, in that it is mostly bout the protagonist, less about the detection. Not the best, but we addicts will accept anything with Peter Diamond in it.
