Personal Sharp Investigations

This installment of the Sharp Investigations novels brings back the truly personal element for Jasmine and Fallon, and adds in some more personal stories for the other characters we've already encountered as well. I enjoyed this book. when I first read it and the narration is once again spot on making this version highly enjoyable too.

Another excellent Jasmine Sharp story

What made the experience of listening to Flesh Wounds the most enjoyable?

It was another great episode of the Jasmine Sharp world. In typical style Brookmyre weaves a believable Glasgow story with the usual characters. The truth is finally revealed about Jasmine's father as she tries to prove the innocence of her sometime protector and mentor Fallon.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Flesh Wounds?

Probably the dispatch of the arch villain by Jasmine Sharp, horrifyingly icky.

What about Sarah Barron’s performance did you like?

As usual her performance was excellent, she gives life to the characters and the Glasgow turn of phrase is brought to life by her silky Scottish voice.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Revenge of the bams!

Any additional comments?

Brookmyre's work is excellent, I have followed him for many years through many characters. Jasmine Sharp has grown as a character through the three books to a likeable, intelligent and Machiavellian character in true Brookmyre style. In fact the cast of regular characters have all grown into three dimensional people that you can't but fail to care for. If you are looking for a good taste of Glasgae wrapped up in a rip roaring story, this book is for you.

Plot spoiler for Book 1 - thanks Audible!

I am currently listening to the first in the series and, as I was enjoying is so much, decided to look at the next in the series. The first line of the description reveals away a major plot twist in book one, which I hadn't got to yet. AAAARRGGGGHHHH.

I realise that the descriptions on Audible are usually blurbs from the publisher, cut and pasted but for goodness' sake, sort it out!

I want my money back for the previous book. and yes, you probably won't post this but I needed a good moan...

best one yet... yet again

The twists and turns were tightly controlled, keeping me guessing but never correctly. What a treat.

Enjoyable

Would you listen to Flesh Wounds again? Why?

Yes, it has a deep enough plot to warrant a second listen also the narration was enjoyable and well paced

What did you like best about this story?

The interaction of the characters and the buiding of the plot

What does Sarah Barron bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

For me she bought the characters to life and added a local Scottish emphasis to words and phrases I would not consider

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No but not because of it's quality but more to the fact I like to absorb and consider what I have listened to in books like this and try to predict thier path

Any additional comments?

A good book well worth a credit

Utterly brilliant

Wow, what a fantastic story. Couldn't switch it off. Full of twists and turns. As usual, very well narrated. Make sure you read the first 2 novels in the series though for full impact. This is the best audio book I've heard. Can't recommend highly enough.

Great characters and a strong narrative

Having listened to and enjoyed the first two parts of this trilogy I was not disappointed by the third. Strong characters and two entwined narratives make this a compelling listen.

An excellent narrator, I felt I could visualise each protagonist - except one! My only complaint is the voice she gave Catherine McLeod was not a good fit. Way too "common"!

Ninety nine and three quarters out of ten!

I hope a fourth part is in the works!

Best book ever from Christopher Brookmyre

Off all the Christopher Brookmyre books ive read this is the best with the best ending, as much as I love the Jack Parlabane books this trumps them and needs to be continued,Glen Fallon is the way forward
