About this listen

Meet Detective Chief Inspector John Luther. He's a murder detective. He's brilliant; he's intense; he's instinctive. And yet there are rumours that DCI Luther is bad - not corrupt, but tormented.

The first in a new series of novels featuring DCI John Luther takes us into Luther's past and into his mind. It is the story of the case that tore his personal and professional relationships apart, and propelled him over the precipice.

I bought this book to have Idris Elba in my head for a while.......also because the fabulous David Bauckham reading.
The story is gripping from the start dragging me into a world where there are goodies and very baddies but the lines are blurred.
Brilliantly read as every David Bauckham narration is, each character an individual easy to indentify from little girl to sleaze bags.
A marvellous find.

I'd want him on my side!

Very harrowing in places, especially the graphic descriptions of violence and abuse against children and animals, nearly gave up because of it but really glad I didn't. I would definitely read more, hoping there's another one soon!

Brilliant!

I love Luther so this was irresistible. Very hard to listen to bits of it, especially the gratuitous cruelty to animals, but a totally brilliant ending. Zoe is a self obsessed cow!

Great story, well told he's almost got the Northern Ireland accent of Benny down to a T and I should know being from Belfast. Really enjoyed it from start to finish.
