You know how they live. This is how they die...
A STUNNING DEBUT FROM YOUR NEXT FAVORITE MYSTERY WRITER • Rupert's 30th birthday party is a black-tie dinner at the Kentish Town McDonald's—catered with cocaine and expensive champagne. The morning after, his girlfriend Clemmie is found murdered on Hampstead Heath, a single stiletto heel jutting from under a bush.
“A perfectly modern whodunnit.”—Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times bestselling author of I Will Find You
Who killed Clemmie? Was it the blithe, sociopathic boyfriend? His impossibly wealthy godmother? The gallery owner with whom Clemmie was having an affair? Or was it the result of something else entirely?
All the party-goers have alibis. Naturally. This investigation is going to be about aristocrats and Classics degrees, Instagram influencers and whose father knows who.
Or is it 'whom'? Detective Caius Beauchamp isn't sure. He's sharply dressed, smart, and thoroughly modern—he discovers Clemmie's body on his early morning jog. As he searches for the dark truth beneath the luxurious life of these London socialites, a wall of staggering wealth and privilege threatens to shut down his investigation before it's even begun. Can Caius peer through the tangled mess of connections in which the other half live—and die—before the case is wrenched from his hands? Bitingly funny, full of shocking twists, and all too familiar, The Other Half is a truly stunning debut.

Historia
Let Us Descend describes a journey from the rice fields of the Carolinas to the slave markets of New Orleans and into the fearsome heart of a Louisiana sugar plantation. A journey that is as beautifully rendered as it is heart wrenching, the novel is “[t]he literary equivalent of an open wound from which poetry pours” (NPR). Annis, sold south by the white enslaver who fathered her, is the listener’s guide. As she struggles through the miles-long march, Annis turns inward, seeking comfort from memories of her mother and stories of her African warrior grandmother.

American women—American wives—have been mostly minor characters in the literature of the Vietnam War, but in Absolution they take center stage. Tricia is a shy newlywed, married to a rising attorney on loan to navy intelligence. Charlene is a practiced corporate spouse and mother of three, a beauty and a bully. In Saigon in 1963, the two women form a wary alliance as they balance the era’s mandate to be “helpmeets” to their ambitious husbands with their own, inchoate impulse to “do good” for the people of Vietnam.

Of course, I’m not going to murder her in the night. I need my laptop back first. That’s the whole point of making friends with Emily Harper, author of the hugely successful novel Diary of an Octopus. So I could get into her apartment and take back what’s mine. Emily doesn’t know who I really am. She thinks I’m her biggest fan, her new best friend who happens to need a place to stay for a few days. She doesn’t realize the laptop she found—and took—from a busy airport almost two years ago was mine. I don’t care about the laptop, just what's on it: my diary.

Reseñas de la Crítica
“Vassell’s crackling debut skewers England’s current crop of gilded youth. . . . [Detective Caius Beauchamp's] search takes him through a web of overprivileged suspects on whom the detective casts a half-contemptuous, half-envious eye, and eventually delivers him to the doorstep of a murderous, elite conspiracy. Vassell gleefully plunges into the underbelly of 21st-century entitlement, creating vivid sketches of aimless young Londoners gorging on designer clothes and designer drugs. . . . A diamond-sharp satirical whodunit in the vein of Liane Moriarty.”—Publishers Weekly
“The Other Half is a perfectly modern whodunnit. The plot is as entertaining as its skewering of aristocracy is astute, and the characters feel real enough to walk off the page. I can’t wait to read Charlotte Vassell’s next book!”—Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times bestselling author of I Will Find You
"Imagine A Handful of Dust meets The Great Gatsby on a Northern Line tube to Kentish Town. That’s The Other Half by Charlotte Vassell, a crime thriller as sharp, witty and energetic as it is bitingly satirical. Vassell’s lively prose is utterly compelling and so stylish she can meld ancient Greece and 21st Century London without batting a Euclid. Reminded me of Waugh with every turn of the page. In The Other Half she might just have created a Vile Bodies for the Millennial generation."—Janice Hallett, internationally bestselling author of The Appeal and The Twyford Code

Historia
In Daretana’s greatest mansion, a high imperial officer lies dead—killed, to all appearances, when a tree erupted from his body. Even here at the Empire’s borders, where contagions abound and the blood of the leviathans works strange magical changes, it’s a death both terrifying and impossible. Assigned to investigate is Ana Dolabra, a detective whose reputation for brilliance is matched only by her eccentricities. Rumor has it that she wears a blindfold at all times, and that she can solve impossible cases without even stepping outside the walls of her home.

Great story, terrible narration

Detective Caius Beachamp’s morning run is ruined when he finds the body of a young woman (why can’t murderers murder in buildings where the crime scene is limited, and evidence isn’t contaminated or is carried off by woodland creatures). He is ruminating about being dumped by his French girlfriend, Heloise and is on a self-improvement journey, hoping to get her back. Caius’s chapters are the enjoyment of the novel. His inner musings are deadpan hysterical. Caius leads a team of detectives, who are concerned about his need for self-improvement, yet simultaneously appreciate the benefits of such improvements. The banter between the detectives is hilarious and is why I eagerly anticipate her next installment.
Vassell structures her story by date, and then by the events witness by Caius and his team, with the other POV is from the different players in the drama of the dead woman.
It is Nell (Helena) Waddingham who begins the story, the night before Caius discovers the body of Clemmie O’Hara, the girlfriend of uber wealthy Rupert Beauchamp (no relation to Caius). Rupert is hosting his 30th birthday party at a London McDonalds where champagne and coke (not the drink) are served. Vassell is exquisite in showing how tone-deaf the uber wealthy can be. Clemmie is an influencer and photographer who worked at an art gallery. She is the girlfriend of the unlikeable and reprehensible character, Rupert. All these characters are exceedingly wealthy and very unlikable. It’s easy to root for the police. As Caius investigates, he finds Nell, a friend of both Rupert and Clemmie’s. Nell is not as wealthy and connected as the rest of the group, and she is the only endearing character of the friend group.
Clemmie worked with ancient art and antiquities which leads the detectives on some interesting field work. I learned a bit about Greek artifacts I’m happy to report. The detectives learned that art auctioneers have far more money for their coffee room.
The story is well paced and is a compulsive and satisfying story. I highly recommend it. Caius and his team unravel a complex story with a very interesting plot twist and the end.
I chose to listen to the audio, narrated by Michael Muyunda and Imogen Wilde. Muyunda’s performance of Caius made this audio such an enjoyable listen. I needed to adjust to his cadence, and once I did, I was rewarded in spades! Ms. Wilde was amazing as well.
Michael Muyunda is amazing!
