About this listen

'Moving, outrageous and outrageously funny' Dawn French

When a toxic hospital consultant dies of a heart attack, fellow doctor Eitan Rose smells foul play. Nobody else does though, including some quite crucial players like the police and the coroner.

But Eitan just won't let it drop, and his friends and colleagues become increasingly concerned about his mental health as his chaotic investigation and equally chaotic life spiral out of control. Is he making a career-ending mistake, or could there genuinely be a killer stalking the wards?


A deathly funny mix of mystery, murder and medicine, A PARTICULARLY NASTY CASE is the brilliantly original debut novel from Adam Kay, BAFTA-winning author of multi-million global bestseller THIS IS GOING TO HURT.

Great storyline, it was very interesting and quite hilarious! Andy Serkis is a fantastic performer too, I felt like I was listening to a play with multiple different actors.
Definitely recommend.

Great story and an awesome performance

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Andy Serkis is a great narrator but I just could not get into the plot. The whole thing was very slapstick and not my preferred style of book at all. Will be returning this.

Great narration, unengaging story

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Got to Ch 4 and couldn’t bear to go on. Nonsense read in over dramatic pantomime style. Very disappointed.

Ridiculous

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
