You liked this book better than I did, and I read the paper version. I did like Jackson Brodie, but none of the other characters really came together for me-- there were just too many of them.

Some books do better on audio than others. The book I'm listening to now may be close to the best audiobook ever. Review sometime next week!. I've been meaning to read Atkinson's series -- sounds good. Beth F’s last blog post..Review and Interview: Zig-Zagging by Tom Wilson
