Free Audiobook : The Cracked Mirror, by Chris Brookmyre

Chris Brookmyre’s "The Cracked Mirror" drops you into a world where nothing fits the mold you expect. Picture Penny Coyne, a sharp-witted little old lady from a sleepy Scottish village, solving murders the local cops can’t crack. Then there’s Johnny Hawke, a grizzled LAPD detective who’s always one step from trouble, chasing truth no matter the cost. In this audiobook, their unlikely paths collide, sparked by a dead writer and a wedding invite that’s more cryptic than cozy.

The story twists like a Highland road, pulling you from quaint Perthshire to the gritty streets of LA. Penny’s knack for spotting what’s off pairs with Johnny’s bulldog tenacity, and together they tumble into a mystery that’s as wild as it is deep. Brookmyre keeps you guessing with a blend of humor and heart, threading clues that unravel into something far bigger than a simple whodunit.

Listening to "The Cracked Mirror" feels like stepping onto a rollercoaster blindfolded. It’s a mash-up of classic sleuthing and hard-boiled grit, but with a soul that sneaks up on you. By the end, you’re not just hooked on the chase; you’re wondering what truths lie beneath your own surface. Buckle up for a ride that’s as clever as it is captivating.
