About this listen

Your student years should be the most carefree years of your life.

Not for Michael Yorke.

When a student party ends in violent murder, Michael Yorke begins to realise he harbours a fascination with crime which goes way beyond the norm.

Driven to discover the truth behind a series of murders which shocks the university community, Yorke turns his back on those closest to him: His girlfriend, Charlotte, and his best friend, Brandon. With bloody and disastrous consequences.

A super-fast one-hour thrill ride, which will define the relentless and compassionate police officer who stars in One Last Prayer for the Rays.

This is an interesting prequel for what is to come in the next 3 books in the series which I have already read. It gives an insight into what Michael York is to become, a good police officer. There are a number of well defined characters of different persuasions at the university and Aubrey Parsons does a great job of portraying them all, his enthusiasm for whatever he is reading helps bring the book to life and bolsters the listeners enthusiasm to read more books.

Having already read book 1 in the series I then read this short novella which takes us back in time to Michael Yorke's college years and gives us a little insight into what makes him tick and about the first love of his life. Short but thoroughly enjoyable and quite intense.

I received a free copy of this audiobook either from the author or a promotion or giveaway and am voluntarily writing an honest and unbiased review.

An intense Prequel to the Michael Yorke series

This packs a lot into a one and a quarter hour audiobook. It sets the backstory for the DCI Yorke crime novels. Great narration compliments the writing. I'm not a fan of short stories and feel this could have been incorporated as part of a full novel, perhaps as a flashback.

A Very Short But Interesting Story
