About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Holmes, Margaret and Poe was a No.10 Sunday Times bestseller


A compulsive and entertaining contemporary mystery featuring a team of unique private investigators - perfect for fans of Richard Osman and Knives Out.

Brendan Holmes, Margaret Marple and August Poe run the most in-demand private investigation agency in New York City.

The three detectives make a formidable team, solving a series of seemingly impossible crimes which expose the dark underbelly of the city - from a priceless art theft, high-stakes kidnapping and a decades-old unsolved murder, to a gruesome subterranean prison and corruption and bribery at the highest levels of power.

But it's not long before their headline-grabbing breakthroughs, unconventional methods - and untraceable pasts - attract the attention of the NYPD and the FBI.

After all, it's no surprise that there's a mystery or two to unravel in the city that never sleeps . . . not least, who really are Holmes, Margaret and Poe?

The idea is good. The story lines are predictable so don’t read this if you like a whodunnit. The female narrator is not good in my opinion - inconsistent and sometimes questionable accents. If she continues with the series I probably won’t listen to more.

An odd one

A crime story with a difference. It was so fast paced one was able to ignore the discrepancies. The characters were a breath of fresh air and I long to meet them again.

Great characters, punchy story, always something happening.
Would love to read more from the person who actually wrote this book before Patterson put his name to it

Way better than normal Patterson drivel

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Positive - lots of action and inventive plots
Negative - overly cliched and under developed characters

Feels like a draft outline for a tv mini series

Fun but not a classic

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

left me confused, the crimes are solved more by coincidences then deducted nothing was explained like in an Sherlock homes book or Agatha Christie. very simplistic mystery. won't be bothering with any future stories. very meh

well read, but too many different people reading it doing the same characters.

Was sceptical as to whether I would enjoy this book but I really shouldn’t have been.
The characters bring their own quirks and are superb as individuals and as the team they are also in the book.
So much going on in the book yet all of it flows and is brought to a conclusion beautifully.
Hope there is more to come

Superb story and characters
