About this listen

Blue Monday leaves readers with the promise of intriguing tales to come.” (People, four-star review)

Internationally best-selling authors Nicci Gerard and Sean French, writing as Nicci French, have sold more than eight million copies of their books worldwide. But nothing they've written written before has grabbed the attention of reviewers and listeners like Blue Monday and its iconic heroine, Frieda Klein.

In a starred review, Publishers Weekly called it a "superb psychological thriller...with brooding atmosphere, sustained suspense, a last-minute plot twist, and memorable cast of characters."

In Tuesday's Gone, a London social worker makes a routine home visit only to discover her client, Michelle Doyce, serving afternoon tea to a naked, decomposing corpse. With no clues as to the dead man's identity, Chief Inspector Karlsson again calls upon Frieda for help. She discovers that the body belongs to Robert Poole, con man extraordinaire. But Frieda can't shake the feeling that the past isn't done with her yet. Did someone kill Poole to embroil her in the investigation? And if so, is Frieda herself the next victim?

A masterpiece of paranoia, Tuesday's Gone draws listeners inexorably into a fractured and faithless world as it brilliantly confirms Frieda Klein as a quintessential heroine for our times.

Critic reviews

"A fiercely intelligent, multilayered thriller." (Kirkus)

"Seamlessly mixes a foreboding tone and deliberate pacing with deft plot twists that should leave readers pleasantly chilled to the bone." (Publishers Weekly)

"Starts as a grim psychological thriller in the vein of Dennis Lehane’s darker novels and turns into a fascinating puzzle in which character analysis holds sway. Highly recommended for fans of psychological suspense who enjoy a complex protagonist." (Library Journal, starred review)

One of the best voice performances

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, this was a great story and well performed. The mystery aspect is solid, intriguing, and comes together well for resolution.

What did you like best about this story?

The main character, Frieda Klein is very interesting and likable, yet flawed enough to seem real.

Have you listened to any of Beth Chalmers’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, but this was very good. She does the main character wonderfully, and differentiates the female voices well. The accents do not make you cringe, and the male voices are not bad at all. She really makes it a performance.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, it was very hard to put it down for a while!

I like this series but...

Just finished a four day marathon with the first two books of this new series. Loved the first one, and only liked this one. Narrator is excellent, and I like the co-starring characters that will no doubt populate the rest of these books (5 more? if we're to follow the days of the week concept) My favorite peripheral character is Joseph, the Ukrainian handyman. This book was always going to be tough because the first one was so excellent. it got a little bogged down in trying to perpetuate the main plot from book one, while simultaneously introducing new bad guys who were not nearly so thrillingly bad as the bad guys from Blue Monday. I will buy the subsequent books though, it does pass the "can't wait for the next one" test! Do get Blue Monday first, before you buy this one though. Definitely need the background to enjoy it.

Ok

This book was ok. I plan to listen to the entire series. I like how the books are woven together. However, I felt like when the mystery in this story was solved, it was just all laid out for you. I didn't love how it just came to a point and said this is the answer. It was still a good read.

Good not amazing

I like this author, I found this story a bit slower paced than the first. I was hoping for a bit more suspense, but the story makes jumps to revelations rather than a suspenseful build up allowing the reader/listener to experience the story to the fullest. It borders on telling rather than showing at times. However, I still like the characters and I'm interested in where the series will go. I hope the next book is better.

Complex story

I really like this series, it keeps u guessing all thru, and weaves together. At times it doesn't totally explain how they come up with the conclusions, it's a bit of guessing. The narrator does a great job differentiating the voices, great performance.

Side stories

There were too many side stories which detracted from the main one. It made it rather confusing at times.

For a historian, Nicci French needs homework

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I love the book and the series - Frieda is so human.

What other book might you compare Tuesday's Gone to and why?

A bit like Rita Mae Brown's "Mrs. Murphy" series. A protagonist you can't help but like sticks her nose where it shouldn't be and ends up solving crimes.

Any additional comments?

Nicci - in book 1 you introduced Sandy and then sent him to "Cornell" in New York. Cornell University is in Ithaca, NY, which is 225 miles from New York City. In Book 2 you said he was in New Jersey.

Suspenseful???

I enjoyed the first book in the series. This book had a lot going on. Possibly to build characters for further novels. Overall, I would read the next book in the series because I feel like I have come to know characters and rather like them.
