À propos de cet audio
From Graham Norton, the BAFTA-award-winning Irish television host and author of the "sparkling and impish" (Daily Mail) memoirs The Life and Loves of a He Devil and So Me, comes a charming debut novel set in an idyllic Irish village where a bumbling investigator has to sort through decades of gossip and secrets to solve a mysterious crime.
The remote Irish village of Duneen has known little drama, but when human remains are discovered on an old farm, suspected to be those of Tommy Burke - a former lover of two different inhabitants - the village's dark past begins to unravel. As the frustrated sergeant PJ Collins struggles to solve a genuine case for the first time in his life, he unearths a community's worth of anger and resentments, secrets and regret.
In this darkly comic, touching and, at times, heartbreaking novel, perfect for fans of J.K. Rowling's The Casual Vacancy, Graham Norton employs his acerbic wit to breathe life into a host of loveable characters and explore - with searing honesty - the complexities and contradictions that make us human.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 131
When Elizabeth Keane returns to Ireland after her mother’s death, she’s focused only on saying goodbye to that dark and dismal part of her life. Her childhood home is packed solid with useless junk, her mother’s presence already fading. But within this mess, she discovers a small stash of letters — and ultimately, the truth. Forty years earlier, a young woman stumbles from a remote stone house, the night quiet except for the constant wind that encircles her as she hurries deeper into the darkness away from the cliffs and the sea.

Carol is a divorced teacher living in a small town in Ireland, her only son now grown. A second chance at love brings her unexpected connection and belonging—and sparks a flurry of speculation.

Carol and Declan know their relationship is the talk of the town, but the gossip only serves to bring the couple closer.

It is 1987, and a small Irish community is preparing for a wedding. The day before the ceremony, a group of young friends, including the bride and groom, are involved in an accident. Three survive. Three are killed. The lives of the families are shattered and the rifts between them ripple throughout the small town. Connor survived, but living among the angry and the mourning is almost as hard as carrying the shame of having been the driver. He leaves the only place he knows for another life, taking his secrets with him.

Gary Thorn goes for a pint with a work acquaintance called Brendan. When Brendan leaves early, Gary meets a girl in the pub. He doesn’t catch her name, but falls for her anyway. When she suddenly disappears without saying goodbye, all Gary has to remember her by is the book she was reading: The Satsuma Complex.

And so begins Gary’s quest, through the estates and pie shops of South London, to finally bring some love and excitement into his unremarkable life.

I enjoyed everything about this story. A great blend of comedy and drama. Having Graham Norton read it himself was the cherry on the top.

wonderfully character driven
Not sure if it's designed as a mystery or a work of fiction -as a mystery it's easy to figure out. As a fiction it's really character driven and the development of the town is all encompassing. good weekend read overall.

Fun and unpredictable.
I enjoy Mr Norton as a TV host so I really wasn't sure what to expect from his novel. He is obviously the perfect choice of narrators, and brought his characters to life.

Just another enjoyable read (listen). I’m hoping this becomes a series I’d enjoy getting to know PJ a little more.

Surprisingly Good
One tends to be a bit cautious about buying books written by celebrities outside their realm. I know Graham Norton as a great talk-show host (rejuvenated my taste for the genre), but had not known of his other talents. I liked him enough to give it a chance.
I was pleasantly surprised by "Holding". The story was well-developed, and the characters interesting. I did feel the key character sergeant PJ Collins was a bit borrowed from John Michael McDonagh (movie: "The Guard", starring Brendan Gleeson), but that actually added to the visualization.
The best part is Norton's narration. I have found at times that authors are not the best narrator. Sort of the same situation as where songwriters are not always the best singers/performers of their songs. Sometimes it's better to leave performance to those with talent for it. Graham Norton, however, has talent (apparently) in both fields and does a good job of bringing his characters to life.
It is a bitter-sweet story, well worth the time to listen.

Very charming!
This is a very charming read! I was immersed in the cast of smalltown characters and gossip, each brought to life very well by Graham Norton himself. I very much hope he releases more works.
