The Fairfax Redemption

A Jonathon Fairfax Novel, Book 4

De: Christopher Shelvin

Narrado por: Finlay Robertson

Ever feel like the whole world is conspiring against you?

Jonathon Fairfax can’t even get on the London Underground without bumping into someone he’s desperate to avoid–like Rachel, his first love, who demolished his heart eleven years ago. She tells him that her terrifying uncle (a man Jonathon knows only as ‘the murderer’) is about to be released from prison.

Does the murderer blame Jonathon for his time inside? Will he seek revenge?

To find out, Jonathon follows him–until the trail ends at a mysterious north London chicken shop, shrouded in sinister rumours. As Jonathon tries to untangle the truth, he gets drawn ever deeper into a web of conspiracy theorists, organised criminals and evil Etonians.

But who should Jonathon really be afraid of? The murderer on the loose or bumbling celebrity politician Teddy Robinson? The Russian mafia or the owner of a chain of chicken shops whose fries–if the dark rumours are true–may not be made of potato?

After all, they can’t all be out to get him … um, can they?

The Fairfax Redemption is the fourth book in the massively popular Jonathon Fairfax series, sure to be loved by fans of Douglas Adams, PG Wodehouse and Caimh McDonnell.

Best so far

Why these haven't been produced for TV is the real mystery;) Excellent characters and non-stop action - even (slow) car chases. Perfectly read and written. Every time I think the author couldn't possibly top the last book. he blows my mind! Keep going!

Jonathon Fairfax is the Voice in my Head

I love the Jonathon Fairfax series. My Fairfaxian self is struggling not to overthink this review, but briefly, I find them hilarious, touching, and spot on regarding the many absurdities of modern life.

Thoroughly entertaining

I am so happy that Jonathon Fairfax returned for this fourth installment. This latest adventure was as entertaining, wryly amusing, and well written and narrated as the first three. I am not generally a person who re-reads/listens to books a second time, but since it had been a fair amount of time since the last book was released, I went back and listened to the first three before I started The Fairfax Redemption. I enjoyed them as much the second time around, perhaps even more after having become familiar with all of the characters. Having the first books fresh in my mind enhanced my enjoyment of this latest release, but I’m sure I would have appreciated it regardless.

Thank you to Christopher Shevlin for persevering and treating us to book 4. Here’s hoping there will be a book 5.

That's Magic

The author is a genius at turning a harmless event into a snowball of horribly traumatizing events. I was so happy when I saw there was another Fairfax book and I was certainly not disappointed. It really lived up to the series. Possibly my only complaint was the handwavey way in which Johnathan was, apparently, cleared of all the resulting legal issues. Also, I'm an American and I'm one hundred percent sure I've never heard of or met a person named Piper before. I honestly thought it was more of a British name. Go figure.

Wild fun with superb narration

I love these big-hearted capers. This one is superb and so funny. A great addition to a wonderful series which I hope Mr Shevlin continues!

More Fairfax!

As fun, funny, and endearing as the others. I was eagerly anticipating this release and it didn’t disappoint. I had to put it down due to a laughing fit a couple times.

Just Phenomenal!

I am a huge fan of this series. I listened to the first three books in anticipation of the release of this book and they were as delightful as my first listen. I will buy any book that Christopher Shelvin chooses to write. These books are hilarious and heartwarming. The narrator just enhances the writing.

Love these characters!

Love these characters and all their foibles, preoccupations, and insecurities that bring them hilariously to life! And we can’t forget their straight up courage and plain absurdity! Thank you Christopher Shevlin!
