Do you trust the cops?
This really got you thinking - straight out of the starters' gate you are told, the cop is bad and he killed people. However, as the story unwinds, you find yourself feeling sorry for him and hoping he can have a happy ending. You feel a bit unsure as it's as if your morals are being tested, which is the sign of a good, thought provoking book.
Vincent is a cop, he's in trouble and in debt. His heist goes wrong and now Mr Big wants it sorted.

Gripping from start to finish
Would you consider the audio edition of A Dark and Broken Heart to be better than the print version?
Don't know, as haven't read the print version, but the narration was excellent. Each character was brought to life.
What other book might you compare A Dark and Broken Heart to, and why?
Bits were similar to Raymond Chandler's work. The central character is a flawed tough guy, but he's seeking redemption/ salvation.
What about Robert Slade’s performance did you like?
Well paced, easy to listen to. He kept me gripped listening when I should have been sleeping as I was engrossed.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The final chapter is amazing with twist on twist, right to the last sentence.
Any additional comments?
This is gritty and hard edged but truly believable. Enjoyed every moment.
