Random House presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of The Long Drop by Denise Mina, read by David Monteath.

William Watt wants answers about his family's murder. Peter Manuel has them. But Peter Manuel is a liar.

William Watt is an ordinary businessman, a fool, a social climber.

Peter Manuel is a famous liar, a rapist, a criminal. He claims he can get hold of the gun used to murder Watt's family.

One December night in 1957, Watt meets Manuel in a Glasgow bar to find out what he knows.

Based on true events, The Long Drop is an extraordinarily unsettling, evocative and compelling novel from a writer at the height of her powers.

Eleştirmen yorumları

Angry, vital and unputdownable, The Long Drop’s themes of self-deception resonate long after the final page. This is crime fiction at its very best (Joseph Knox, author of Sirens)
Not a single word is wasted in this beautifully written novel. Unsettling, evocative and staggeringly good, it is possibly Mina’s finest achievement
A wonderfully atmospheric, unsettling read. (Louise Rhind-Tutt)
Deeply unsettling and thought provoking in all the best ways (Doug Johnstone)
The Long Drop is an exceptional book. The pages reek of fifties Glasgow, forming an oppressive backdrop to a true crime story that fascinates and appals from start to finish. Mina’s prose cuts to the bone, laying bare the prideful wickedness of men in a tale that is as often touching as it is frightening. A feast of a crime novel.
The Long Drop is a fascinating, quietly insidious work, unsettling but absorbing (Marcel Berlins)
It is a beautifully written book, a masterpiece by the woman who may be Britain’s finest living crime novelist
The Long Drop is not just a success and a thrilling read in its own right, but a game-changer for the genre. (Stuart Kelly)
A relentlessly tense and exciting read, every page oozes menace and its core of truth makes it all the more unsettling.
Deliciously shadowy. (Claire Allfree)

Amazing novel and brilliantly narrated by David Monteath.
This novel chilled me. Manuel was always just the bogey man to me and he’s been portrayed here in a way that aptly characterises him, and Watt. Mina focuses in on the Watt Murders and the relationship between Watt & Manuel, but cleverly uses the court scenes to fill the reader in on the other abhorrent crimes. There’s some horrible details, because the things he did were horrible; but there has been incredible care given to the difficult balance of conveying the horror and not sensationalising the violence.

Brilliant Audible Recording!

Very well narrated but this was a bleak time in Glasgow. It is an interesting story but I wasn't a big fan of the flashback nature of the telling.

Although beautifully written this goes on and on. Having to give up as life is too short and I just don't care enough about the characters to find out what happens.
Such a shame as I loved the Alex Morrow stories.

Heavy going

Interesting topic and based on true story, but made for difficult audiobook. How many ways can you tell the same very short story leading up to the crime? The backwards and forwards in the timeline were difficult to follow in the audiobook - might have been easier in hard copy as you could flick back a few pages - but I found it exhausting.
I like the narration - David Monteath did a super job and some of the phrases and colloquialisms were fabulous - but the actual story didn't merit a 7 hour narration.
Denise Mina has many better books - I struggled through to the end, but have to ask if some books just aren't suitable to be audiobooks.
Disappointed overall, but not surprised by the long winded ending to the court case.
