About this listen

Gold Dagger-winner and best-selling author in the United Kingdom, Ian Rankin crafts absorbing crime novels with solidly drawn characters and first-rate plotting. In Strip Jack, he portrays a shocking murder investigation that exposes the sordid side of Edinburgh politics and society.

Detective John Rebus suspects a set-up when a respected Member of Parliament is caught in a police raid on a brothel—and his flamboyant wife suddenly disappears. After the woman’s badly beaten body shows up, it becomes Rebus’ job to find the killer. Is the MP really self-destructing as circumstances suggest? Or is a bitter enemy out to get him? Suddenly Rebus finds himself facing off with a cunning killer who holds all the cards. Narrator Samuel Gillies’ well-paced performance underscores all the tension in this intriguing read.

Narration was dreadful

This is a lesson in how to ruin a good book. The narrator sounded like he was plucked out of 1940s radio shows. It was painful at times. No wonder the book was free. I really hope later books have a modern narrator.

Narrator was irritating

It was simply over-performed. It turned everyone into caricatures. But the story was compelling enough to keep me going.

Horrible Narrator

Thus is really too unpleasant to listen to…such a pity. Ian Rankin deserves better.
