Book description
Vertigo 42 - A Spiralling Audible Adventure
Martha Grimes has turned another page in the Richard Jury saga, and this time she gives us an audiobook that feels like a high-stakes roller coaster through London's financial heart and Devon's misty countryside. From the very first word, the narration grips you with its crisp clarity and subtle humor - perfect for a story that balances suspense with Grimes' signature droll wit.
The plot unfurls around Tom Williamson's desperate plea to Jury: his wife Tess vanished in 1996, her death ruled an accident caused by vertigo. Yet the evidence is flimsy, and a decade later, a young girl falls at the same spot where Tess disappeared. Jury's investigation pulls him from the bustling bars of the 42nd floor to the quiet lanes of Devon, chasing a thread that weaves past and present deaths together in an intricate tapestry.
What makes this audiobook stand out is how Grimes layers her storytelling with literary nods-from Thomas Hardy's bleak landscapes to Yeats' lyrical mystique-without ever breaking immersion. The characters feel real; Jury's dry sarcasm contrasts beautifully with Sergeant Wiggins' earnestness, and the supporting cast provides both warmth and intrigue.
The pacing is spot-on: each chapter ends on a subtle cliffhanger that compels you to keep listening. The suspense builds steadily, culminating in a finale that feels earned rather than contrived. Grimes keeps the mystery tight, yet she also lets the characters breathe, giving listeners moments of reflection amid the chase.
For anyone who loves a well-crafted whodunit with sharp dialogue and atmospheric depth, Vertigo 42 delivers. It's a testament to Grimes' mastery that her latest audiobook feels both fresh and familiar-an engaging listen for seasoned fans and newcomers alike. If you're looking for an audible mystery that will keep your mind racing while your ears are delighted, this is the one to pick up.
