Summary
FORGET WHAT YOU THINK YOU KNOW
THIS IS NOT THAT CRIME NOVEL
You know Johnny Hawke. Hard-bitten LAPD homicide detective. Always in trouble with his captain, always losing partners, but always battling for the truth, whatever it takes.
You know Penny Coyne. The little old lady who has solved multiple murders in her otherwise sleepy village, despite bumbling local police. A razor-sharp mind in a Sunday best hat.
Against all the odds, against the usual story, their worlds are about to collide. It starts with a dead writer and a mysterious wedding invitation. It will end with a rabbit hole that goes so deep, Johnny and Penny might just come to question not just whodunnit, but whether they want to know the answer.
A cross-genre hybrid of Agatha Christie and Michael Connelly, The Cracked Mirror is the most imaginative and entertaining crime novel of the year, a genre-splicing rollercoaster with a poignantly emotional heart.

Really good book
The story took a while to get into but paid off in the end. The narration was really good

Engrossing
I really enjoyed The Cracked Mirror - it was such an absorbing plot and the two main characters were well written. Demands concentration but well worth the investment. A big shout out to the two narrators who did a brilliant job.

Love Chris Brookmyre, this left me wanting
the narration of the books is absolutely fantastic. the females voice when narrating the American man can get grating but overall great.
the story however. oooft. it starts off intriguing and with good development but at best you can see what is coming about halfway through, at worst it employs the cardinal sin of any work of fiction. once it is confirmed, the last hour or so was a slog.

Wow
I’ve never read anything like it. Loved the characters, the plot and the concept. The sign of a good book is you’re sad it’s ended. I’m devastated

Chris Brookmyre is peerless
Loved every book Brookmyre has written. He’s constantly, brilliantly, stretches his storytelling range. This is another one to treasure

I wondered why the chapter names were so strange!
Very enjoyable and intriguing read, nicely narrated. Lots of 'where's this going then? ' moments that were nicely wrapped up… but were they??

Best so far
This book is incredible, like an onion it has so many layers, superbly crafted, keeps you guessing, I can’t actually say too much without saying too much, listen to it, it’s his finest work to date.
Bravo Mr Brookmyre, bravo.

Unusual concept great story
Great book not your usual crime thriller slightly spoiled for me because I guessed the twist quite early on. Didn’t guess the ending though :)

Not the best
It had its moments but far from being anywhere near a Brookmyre classic.
Very convoluted plot
I gave up with more than an hour to go
