About this listen
With the festive season almost upon him, Detective Sergeant Bruce Robertson is winding down at work and gearing up socially - kicking off Christmas with a week of sex and drugs in Amsterdam. There are irritating flies in the ointment, though, including a missing wife, a nagging cocaine habit, a dramatic deterioration in his genital health, a string of increasingly demanding extra-marital affairs. The last thing he needs is a messy murder to solve. Still it will mean plenty of overtime, a chance to stitch up some colleagues and finally clinch the promotion he craves. But as Bruce spirals through the lower reaches of degradation and evil, he encounters opposition - in the form of truth and ethical conscience - from the most unexpected quarter of all: his anus.
In Bruce Robertson, Welsh has created one of the most corrupt, misanthropic characters in contemporary fiction , and has written a dark, disturbing and very funny novel about sleaze, power, and the abuse of everything. At last, a novel that lives up to its name.
Now a major motion picture starring James McAvoy, Jamie Bell and Jim Broadbent.

Where does Filth rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It was a really great listen. Exciting, quite gross and very gritty.Who was your favorite character and why?
The characters are on the whole all really well developed and you dislike them all equally!What about Tam Dean Burn’s performance did you like?
The voice of Tam was ideal for the part. The different voices were well defined and he was a little scarey at parts which fueled the excitement. Very passionate.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
The bridged version couldbe ideal for one sitting as the reader keeps your interested with the varied voices.Any additional comments?
Really well rounded listen. Exciting storey, great performance and perfect lenght!Rough and Real Edinburgh sounds great!

Literally my favourite book of all time cut to ribbons.
Little details (which make the story!) like his frozen gala pie.. details of his time in the Australian police, and most criminal of all the ENTIRE trip to Amsterdam!!
still an utterly amazing story but next time I'll read the fine details of the audible description and get the full copy.. or maybe stop being lazy and read the book myself (again) 😜
All the best bits missing!!
