About this listen

As dawn breaks on a snowy February morning, a refrigerated lorry is found parked in the heart of London's Chinatown. Inside, 12 women, apparently illegal immigrants, are dead from hypothermia. But in the cab, DC Max Wolfe finds 13 passports. Twelve dead women. Thirteen passports. The hunt for the missing woman will take Max Wolfe into the dark heart of the world of human smuggling, mass migration and 21st-century slave markets.

There is a fate worse than death in this fifth instalment of the sensational Max Wolfe series, from best-selling author Tony Parsons.

Great story. Narration is perfect, Colin Mace brings the characters to life. Really loving this series. The characters are totally believable combined with a great storyline makes a fantastic book, looking forward to the next in the series.

I like this series, the stories are generally very good and unlike some others I've listened to which can tend to drag at times, these keep my interest all the way through. However, there are a few points I've been wanting to mention!

1. I find the overdone London accents, and tough guy personas of the main characters (Max, Fred and the black museum guy) a bit corny at times.
2. The delivery is also quite depressing all the way through, all very serious and sinister, even down to Max's young daughter! All delivered like it's the end of the world!
3. Max is a bit too much of a health freak, I prefer stories with officers that get smashed now and then (sgt Logan McRae springs to mind)!

This is why ive dropped a star on my ratings, but as I said at the start, these are actually very good stories and will continue to listen to works from the author.

Good story if a bit depressing!

Well written and good narration. I thought the story brought home the fact that this happens! Sad but true even though this is a fictional novel. The characters were well laid out with the relationships building between them. Accents weren’t overpowering and didn’t detract from the storyline. I enjoyed the book, and look forward to listening to more.

This doesn't always make easy listening but the story is cracking and the narration brilliant. It's the first Tony Parsons' I've listened to and I will definitely be looking for others. It's a story which, although we know these things go on, it gives a very real insight into how these awful people operate and the circumstances and backgrounds of the characters were very real. I loved Colin Mace's narration which really brought it to life for me. It whips along at a cracking pace and I didn't want it to end. It's one I will definitely listen to again.

What a belter!
