terrible narration gaffes
This is a good book ruined for anyone living in yorkshire where the story is based. The glaring and constant mispronunciation of several local place names is jarring. Why on earth pronounce Anlaby as Anlaybe over and over again. More research needed next time please Toby

Narrator needs to hear a Hull accent and to check place names
Great story that held my attention throughout and well narrated, for the most part, but oh I wish the narrator had been told that Anlaby has a short a in the middle (as in cat) not a long one ( as in baby).

Still unconvinced by McAvoy
I wasn't a great fan of the first book in the series but appreciated the author's hard work enough to try the second. For a lot of the "Original Skin" I felt unconvinced, it just didn't seem as enthralling or well rounded as other detective series I really enjoyed such as PC Grant and Stuart McBride's but I stuck with it. I was rewarded by a spreading sense that maybe this series could progress as I found myself actually caring what happened to the cast of characters and rushed through the last half dozen chapters anxious to get the final twist
It'll be enough to draw me back for the third book, let's hope this improvement continues

Very easy and enjoyable
The perfect story to while away time. Absorbing, but not taxing. Hours flew without me noticing. This is the second of Mark's books I've had on audible. I continue to enjoy the characters- particularly with Longworth as the narrator.

Brooding thriller.
There is a sense of always being in a dark shadowed world with David Mark's writing, added to by Toby Longworth's brooding tones.
It all adds to this deep sumptuous novel that pulls you along, sometimes despite the darkness and despair that engulfs it, to its unexpected conclusion.
Like another reviewer the pronunciation on the area of Hull, Anlaby, being wrongly pronounced AnLAYby seemed to me a glaring mistake by this HULL loving writer. How did he let this glaring error through!!

Detective series
I love these McAvoy books! I’m looking for the next one. I have to read a series in the proper order and I have already downloaded another one but it is not the next in the series. I just love these reads!
