Good story excellently narrated
Rory Kinnear's narration transforms this already good story into a great listen. The mystery itself is well constructed, lots of little clues sprinkled throughout, lots of red herrings. Interesting structure, too, with the author inserting himself into the narrative.

Enjoyable form start to finish
I loved the structure, where the author inserts himself into the story. The character of Hawthorne was intriguing. And the mystery was top notch. Great writing and a great unexpected reveal at the end.

Story of a homophobic know it all Brit detective
As a literary detective I tried to figure out the mystery but it was all for vain. I might have figured out one simple tragedy but I was still unable to figure out real mystery. Wonderful murder mystery, a little oxymoronic I know. A well laid out smokescreen of a mystery to hide the real murder mystery. Loved every second of it.

Decent narration, disappointing story
Good narration, disappointing story. The characters, both the suspects and the investigators, are simply unpleasant.
