Book description
'Wonderful...concise, witty, effortlessly learned.' Sunday Times How does Magwitch swim to shore with a great iron on his leg? Where does Fanny Hill keep her contraceptives? Whose side is Hawkeye on? And how does Clarissa Dalloway get home so quickly? In this new edition sequel to the enormously successful Is Heathcliff a Murderer?, John Sutherland plays literary detective and investigates 32 literary conundrums, ranging from Daniel Defoe to Virginia Woolf. As in its universally loved predecessor, the questions and answers are ingenious and convincing, and return the reader with new respect to the great novels that inspire them.

I'm in awe of how technology has enhanced my reading experience through this app. Playback speed and volume controls are fantastic. Binaural audio processing really helps reduce fatigue. I don't have strong feelings about this one either way. The narration was competent but forgettable. The story itself was more engaging than the performance.

I've started a book club with my friends, and this app has been our go-to source for titles. Middle-of-the-road experience. The audiobook was fine—good narration, decent story—but it didn’t leave a lasting impression. If you’re looking for something low-commitment, this works.
