About this listen

When her father’s killer, Glen Fallan, is arrested for another murder, PI Jasmine Sharp enters an underworld where violence is a way of life and vengeance spans generations. DS Catherine McLeod has one major Glaswegian gangster in the mortuary and another in the cells for killing him - which ought to be cause for celebration. But this case is far more dangerous than it appears on the surface; deeper than skin, darker than blood.…

I really loved this trilogy, and the final book was the best. I love Chris Brookmyre and would recommend.

fantastic ending to the trilogy.

This installment of the Sharp Investigations novels brings back the truly personal element for Jasmine and Fallon, and adds in some more personal stories for the other characters we've already encountered as well. I enjoyed this book. when I first read it and the narration is once again spot on making this version highly enjoyable too.

What made the experience of listening to Flesh Wounds the most enjoyable?

It was another great episode of the Jasmine Sharp world. In typical style Brookmyre weaves a believable Glasgow story with the usual characters. The truth is finally revealed about Jasmine's father as she tries to prove the innocence of her sometime protector and mentor Fallon.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Flesh Wounds?

Probably the dispatch of the arch villain by Jasmine Sharp, horrifyingly icky.

What about Sarah Barron’s performance did you like?

As usual her performance was excellent, she gives life to the characters and the Glasgow turn of phrase is brought to life by her silky Scottish voice.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Revenge of the bams!

Any additional comments?

Brookmyre's work is excellent, I have followed him for many years through many characters. Jasmine Sharp has grown as a character through the three books to a likeable, intelligent and Machiavellian character in true Brookmyre style. In fact the cast of regular characters have all grown into three dimensional people that you can't but fail to care for. If you are looking for a good taste of Glasgae wrapped up in a rip roaring story, this book is for you.

Another excellent Jasmine Sharp story

I am currently listening to the first in the series and, as I was enjoying is so much, decided to look at the next in the series. The first line of the description reveals away a major plot twist in book one, which I hadn't got to yet. AAAARRGGGGHHHH.

I realise that the descriptions on Audible are usually blurbs from the publisher, cut and pasted but for goodness' sake, sort it out!

I want my money back for the previous book. and yes, you probably won't post this but I needed a good moan...

Plot spoiler for Book 1 - thanks Audible!

Lots of good twists, lots of little plots that tie up eventually and well read, very enjoyable

Great listen

This series is more focused on the characters, a bit less on action, compared to many of his other books. The plot moves along nicely and cleverly ties up the histories of the main characters. I am sorry that it is the end of the series, but I'll definitely keep reading Brookmyre. He can do no wrong

A fantastic final installment

Having listened to and enjoyed the first two parts of this trilogy I was not disappointed by the third. Strong characters and two entwined narratives make this a compelling listen.

An excellent narrator, I felt I could visualise each protagonist - except one! My only complaint is the voice she gave Catherine McLeod was not a good fit. Way too "common"!

Ninety nine and three quarters out of ten!

I hope a fourth part is in the works!

Great characters and a strong narrative

Off all the Christopher Brookmyre books ive read this is the best with the best ending, as much as I love the Jack Parlabane books this trumps them and needs to be continued,Glen Fallon is the way forward

Cracking book that ties up lots of threads. It’s definitely the best in the series and in my opinion, in Chris Brookmyre’s top ten. I hope to hear more about Jasmine, Catherine and Co.

Best in the series - so far?
