Broadchurch by Chris Chibnall, Erin Kelly

thatsnotoli's review against another edition

3.0

W lutym oglądałam serial, w marcu przeczytałam książkę. Dlaczego w tej kolejności? A dlatego, że w tej kolejności powstały te dwa obrazy przedstawiające tę samą historię. Napisana przez Erin Kelly książka opisuje wszystko, co wydarzyło się w pierwszym sezonie serialu i, mówiąc krótko, jest rozbudowaną wersją scenariusza. Dialogi są identyczne, a sama powieść idealnie zgrywa się z produkcją Chibnalla. Dla mnie lektura była przyjemnym uzupełnieniem serialu, nie wiem czy porwałaby osobę, która serialu nie zna, ciężko mi to określić. I jeżeli kogoś interesuje ta pozycja, to zdecydowanie bardziej polecam jednak serial, i to wcale nie dlatego, że w Hardy'ego wciela się David Tennant (i jego szkocki akcent). Nie, to zdecydowanie nie jest jeden z powodów, dla których powinniście go obejrzeć ;)

I received this ebook free from NetGalley.com. I requested it because a friend had recommended the tv show Broadchurch. The tv series is not currently showing on any US channel. The book blurb says it is based on the tv show--not the reverse.

I enjoyed reading this police procedural, which starts with the murder of a young boy, in a small town in England. The police investigation and newspaper reporters uncover people's secrets--illicit love affairs, criminal past and more. These people then become suspects and lives are damaged. I don't want to post any spoilers, but I can say that the police do find the killer.
I thought that characters were believable, with flaws, just like most humans. The plot moved along well, becoming hard to put down about halfway through.

I have already seen and loved the TV show and after getting into this, I just want to watch the TV show again instead of reading this. I feel like this is a format that will work better for me as a show, especially because I already know the story and remember where it ends up

I did watch Broadchurch and I really like it so I was happy to review this book.

I really enjoy this book and even though I already knew what was going to happen it kept me reading and I was hooked on this book and couldn't stop reading. It is very well written and I think if you like crime drama you will love this book.

I give this 5 out of 5
