Alas, too short! Would be four stars if not for the abrupt ending that made it feel unfinished. We need more Edie! Please? (My favorite character from Angelmaker.) ( ) I loved the heart out of Edie Banister in [b:Angelmaker|12266560|Angelmaker|Nick Harkaway|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1326121401s/12266560.jpg|14751763]. She has steel nerves, comprehensive spy experience, and a creepy old dog with glass balls for eyes and a farting problem. I can't wait to read more about her! Good old Donny Caspian is dead. Tom Rice, a British civil servant, is sent to investigate the scene of the crime and report back. Super spy Edie Banister is interested in the case as well because Donny was an old friend who helped her once. Edie watches the youngman over tea and cake while trying to appear to be an old spinster lady. When it becomes obvious he is in over his head Edie springs into action. This is an e-short written to promote Nick Harkaway's fabulous new book "Angelmaker." Edie was my favorite character in "Angelmaker" and the reason I bought this short story. The writing style is pure Harkaway, which makes is a joy to read, but it doesn't have a satisfying ending. The story is complete in itself, you don't have to read "Angelmaker" for the conclusion. Still, I felt like the murder was never fully resolved. "Edie Investigates" is a short story involving one of the main characters from Nick Harkaway's second novel, "AngelMaker". It describes the events surrounding a murder investigation in a sleepy English town that has lost the glory of its earlier history. Great introduction to Edie. The publication also contains the first chapter of AngelMaker. näyttää 5/5 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
From the author of The Gone-Away World and the forthcoming Angelmaker--an exhilarating espionage murder-mystery eShort. There has been a strange death in the quiet village of Shrewton: old Donny Caspian has lost his head. In the Copper Kettle tea rooms, Tom Rice, a junior nobody from the Treasury, puzzles over the details of the case. He has been sent by his superiors to oversee the investigation, but is he supposed to help or hinder? At the next table, octogenarian superspy Edie Banister nibbles a slice of cake and struggles not to become Miss Marple. But what is the connection between the two? Who killed Donny Caspian, and why? Taking in Rice's present and Edie's daring past, from duels on shipboard to death in back alleys, "Edie Investigates" is a superb short story from the incomparable Nick Harkaway. nbsp; Also included with this short, the first chapter of Nick Harkaway's long-awaited new novel Angelmaker.
