About this listen

PI John Craine has come to Hale Island to get away from it all. But within hours he stumbles across the dead body of a young girl on the beach. When the police arrive the body has inexplicably disappeared. Or did Craine imagine it in the first place?

Determined to get at the truth, Craine starts asking questions. But it seems that no one on the island is talking. And all too soon he finds himself tangled up in a deadly network of fear and violence…

I really enjoyed this book. The characters are finely drawn and believable. Although it is not exactly a whodunnit, as you know from the start nearly, it does have some twists and turns. The narration was very good and Andrew Wincott brought them to life perfectly.

A cut above

Perhaps try's too much with the tough beaten down voice of a much maligned character to the point where you begin to loose credibility in the guy and start to think he probably deserves what he gets. Overly dramatic with the voice in places.





Holds the attention.

Would you listen to Until the Darkness Comes again? Why?

i would listen to this book again as it holds you right from the beginning. you just want to keep listening

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

made me cry especially at the end as it is so human and makes you wish for the next book

Any additional comments?

this is a great writer and narrator. the book is about a private investigator who is a drug addled alchoholic who you just have to identify with even though you wouldnt normally. the book holds you all the way through and i would certainly listen to more by the same author and narrator

brilliant

A good plot but spoiled by overuse of strong language (which seems worse when spoken out loud than when reading print).

Strong language a bit of a 'put off'

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Great narration kept me hooked throughout.
Already a Kevin Brooks fan.
Good vocal range, pace and general tones.

Narrator!
