À propos de cet audio

As Seen on Today with Hoda & Jenna

“A genre-defying blend of crime writing and science fiction.”—Alexandra Alter, The New York Times

Winner of the 2013 Edgar® Award for Best Paperback Original!

What’s the point in solving murders if we’re all going to die soon, anyway?

Detective Hank Palace has faced this question ever since asteroid 2011GV1 hovered into view. There’s no chance left. No hope. Just six precious months until impact.

The economy spirals downward while crops rot in the fields. Churches and synagogues are packed. People all over the world are walking off the job—but not Hank Palace. He’s investigating a death by hanging in a city that sees a dozen suicides every week—except this one feels suspicious, and Palace is the only cop who cares.

The first in a trilogy, The Last Policeman offers a mystery set on the brink of an apocalypse. As Palace’s investigation plays out under the shadow of 2011GV1, we’re confronted by hard questions way beyond “whodunit.” What basis does civilization rest upon? What is life worth? What would any of us do, what would we really do, if our days were numbered?

Excellent audio narration. Good yarn.

For fans of post apocalyptic fiction. Early on the writing felt a bit corny but it gets a lot better and the story is interesting and has a satisfyingly complex
Ending.

Such a great premise

I was so interested in the idea of this book, and it had thousands of great reviews on Goodreads, but this was not for me. The mystery was not very mysterious. I did not find the character of Hank Palace interesting; however, I found the world building - the scenes of what would happen to a world that knew it had 6 months left before global catastrophe - completely fascinating.
