Edie was my favorite character in "Angelmaker" and the reason I bought this short story. The writing style is pure Harkaway, which makes is a joy to read, but it doesn't have a satisfying ending. The story is complete in itself, you don't have to read "Angelmaker" for the conclusion. Still, I felt like the murder was never fully resolved.

Edie Investigates eBook Nick Harkaway Reviews
"Edie Investigates" is a short story involving one of the main characters from Nick Harkaway's second novel, "AngelMaker". It describes the events surrounding a murder investigation in a sleepy English town that has lost the glory of its earlier history. Great introduction to Edie.
The publication also contains the first chapter of AngelMaker.
I can't get enough of Nick Harkaway, and Edie was my favorite character in Angelmaker, so of course I loved this story. Wish he'd give us more!
I would rate it better if it were the first chapter of a book. But it's merely pretending to be a short story - too many things started that beg being finished or expanded on. Good writing - just didn't feel like like a nicely constrained short story.
Preliminary to Angelmaker. Not as good. Very basic.
Harkaway is brilliant! Why aren't you reading everything he's ever written, right now?????
Edie Investigates is a joyful little short story from Nick Harkaway. In it, he explores one of the characters from Angelmaker, Edie Banister. We discover some of her past, her ties to a world of secrecy, super-spies, international intrigue and ninjas of some sort (not explicitly ninjas, but come on, there have to be ninjas!).
I won't give anything away, but will simply say I found this a delightful little story. The characters were engaging, humorous and felt very alive. I look forward to reading more about Edie in Angelmaker.
This eshort is a bit of backstory about Edie, the harmless elderly lady/deadly spy from Angelmaker. Fills in her background. Also, we get to have a little more fun watching her do her thing. I don't know if I would understand where this short story is coming from, if I hadn't read Angelmaker, but then short stories are sometimes confusing simply because their length will necessitate leaving out the broader context. I love this character and would read more stories with her in them.
