About this listen
A standalone novel.
When a teenager is the victim of an unprovoked attack while walking his dog, a murder investigation begins. A cruel twist of fate makes his innocent family the targets of a vicious campaign of terror. As the detectives of Liverpool's Major Investigation Team try to contain the violence, several key members of an organized crime family begin to topple, causing shockwaves across the planet.
©2015 Conrad Jones (P)2017 Conrad JonesThe story moves very quickly and there are many characters. Whilst the pace keeps the listener listening intently, some of the characters lacked depth, too much focus on the action rather than the people involved in it meant that I was really only rooting for Young Bryn in the end. The book wasn't too long so I think the author could have dedicated a little more time to making the central characters a little more well rounded. I certainly would have liked to know a little more about the background of Simon for example.
The drama is set in my home area, so the landscapes and humour were very familiar to me. The dark humour around some of the situations encountered made me laugh out loud, not sure if they were supposed too but they were typical Scouse humour which resonated with my own culture & background.
The narrator was superb, almost every voice was male so Diana had her work cut out. There were also a wide range of accents to cover and I was particularly impressed with her Liverpudlian & Russian accents. There was one Welsh guy in there who may have been mixed race but other than that, Diana's ability to express the voices and the emotions of the situation brought a reality to the story that would have been lacking had this not been an audiobook.
I've not read Conrad Jones before but I wouldn't rule out reading more from him. I thought Brick would make a good film or tv series, though I don't have a tv so what would I know?
It really is gritty & unputdownable!
