Case Two: A beautiful young office worker falls victim to a maniac's apparently random attack.
Case Three: A new mother finds herself trapped in a hell of her own making - with a very needy baby and a very demanding husband - until a fit of rage creates a grisly, bloody escape.
Thirty years after the first incident, as private detective Jackson Brodie begins investigating all three cases, startling connections and discoveries emerge.

As you probably know, the books consists of 3 stories/crimes that after 30 years, are being investigated by PI Brody as he looks into a possible connection between all of them.
The start of the book felt a little difficult to follow up but by the 2nd story the author starts putting all the pieces together and I found the conclusion satisfying, although perhaps the journey was more enjoyable than the destination.
I am not typically a reader that grumbles a lot about the ending of books so very rarely this is an issue for me, but I can see how the wrapping of Case Stories might not satisfy many readers.
Susan Jameson was a wonderful narrator and a perfect fit in my opinion for this audiobook.
I am not sure that I've heard more books narrated by her but I'll make sure to look up her name for others in the future.
Case Histories it's sort of a complex read but I found the writing beautiful & compelling so if you are into literary mysteries this might be a good option for you.
I am adding the other 3 books on the series to my long list of books to read/listen in 2015!!
Beautiful writing and engaging stories

What made the experience of listening to Case Histories the most enjoyable?
The author has a technique of telling the story then letting the characters tell the REAL story that is refreshing and entertaining.What was one of the most memorable moments of Case Histories?
Learning the truth about the father of the four girls was a sad unexpected twist.Have you listened to any of Susan Jameson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This was my first listen to Susan Jameson. She is an excellent reader.Great fun read

The structure of the plot and most of the characters were interesting, and the book dug into hard topics like parenthood, grief, and the impossibility of "closure." The two knocks I have on the story are that the third case history was treated like an afterthought (especially the sister), and the resolution of all of the mysteries at the end was kind of disconnected from everything that had come before. Overall a better literary novel than a tight mystery/detective story, but worth the short listen.
Excellent narrator elevates mystery
