Özet

London, 1879. Crowds have gathered at Islington's chilly Agricultural Hall to place their bets on who will become the next world champion in a six-day, 500-mile speed-walking race, the wobble. When one of the highly favored contenders dies under suspicious circumstances, Sergeant Cribb also has a race on his hands - to pursue a ruthless murderer.

Wobble to Death was Peter Lovesey's debut novel. In the 45 years since it was published, its author has gone on to write more than 30 world-renowned mysteries, win numerous crime fiction prizes. There is no better place to dive into Lovesey's legendary oeuvre than with this sparkling debut.

A fantastic Victorian period piece crammed with fascinating details, acerbic descriptions, three dimensional characters (even the bit parts!) and a great central murder mystery. Like many of the Cribb and Thackeray stories, the setting is the most important thing, the detectives only turn up two thirds of the way through the story, but honestly that never bothered me- plus David Thorpe is a perfect match for the text, and brings the narrative and characters to life.

So glad to find this absolute gem!

I haven’t enjoyed a fiction book so much for ages. It brought me to a world I knew nothing about and kept me entertained throughout. The dialogue was peppered with occasional modern phrases but the lack of wokeness was welcome and refreshing. If you want a straightforward detective story with no unnecessary political correctness thrown in , you’re on to a winner.

Thoroughly enjoyable

This book has racist repeated terminology.I had to stop reading. The appalling stereotypes were not amusing.as there was littlte use of the language of the era it can only be that thecwriter himself thinks its acceptable.A s it is a modern hook it should not be published on Amazon without a label.

racist terminology totally unnecessary to plot or
