Book description
Imagine sinking into your favorite armchair, sun-drenched Brighton air practically wafting through your headphones. That's the pure joy of listening to Lynne Truss's A Shot in the Dark on audiobook. Forget the usual grimy crime scenes; Truss delivers a sparkling, utterly charming historical mystery that's pure escapism. As the Daily Mail rightly declared, it's "a giddy spell of sheer delight" - and the audiobook format makes it even better.
The magic lies in the irresistible pairing: Inspector Steine, blissfully enjoying Brighton's tranquil 1957 beach life with no crime to speak of, and the relentlessly enthusiastic new constable, Twitten. Their dynamic is pure comedic gold, especially when Twitten's evening at the theatre takes a shocking turn. Sitting next to a vicious critic who's shot dead mid-play? Well, that's the kind of chaos Steine really didn't sign up for. The Sunday Times Crime Club nailed it: it's "ingenious," weaving a perfectly plotted mystery with a side of laugh-out-loud wit.
Hearing this on audio is a revelation. The narrator perfectly captures Steine's dry, slightly exasperated charm and Twitten's boundless, slightly chaotic energy. You can practically hear the clink of a seaside pub glass as they discuss the case, or the tension rise during the theatre scene. As the Observer noted, it's simply "entertaining," but the audiobook elevates it - you're there, soaking up the sun, the sea air, and the sheer, unexpected fun of a murder that's delivered with wit, not dread.
Truss masterfully evokes the golden glow of 1950s Brighton, making it feel vibrant and alive, not just a backdrop. It's the perfect blend of clever puzzle and warm, character-driven storytelling, exactly what fans of Richard Osman or Elly Griffiths adore. You'll find yourself grinning at the banter, chuckling at the absurdity of the situation, and genuinely invested in Steine's reluctant journey from "no crime" to "oh, now we need a police force."
If you're seeking a mystery that's smart but never heavy, set in a place that feels like a holiday, and narrated with such infectious energy, this is your audiobook. As the Sunday Times promised, it will "make you laugh out loud." It's not just a great read; it's the perfect, sun-kissed companion for your commute, your walk, or any moment you need a genuine smile. Prepare to be delighted.
