About this listen

#taken in the night: They thought they were kidnapping the mistress of one of London’s most powerful gangsters. But they’ve taken the wrong woman. And crossed the wrong detective.

#taken underground: Detective Max Wolfe's hunt for the missing woman takes him from New Scotland Yard’s legendary Black Museum to the glittering mansions of career criminals, from sleazy strip joints to secret sex dungeons - and to unspeakably dark deeds committed decades ago.

#taken to the limit; It’s a world of family secrets, sexual jealousy, and a lust for revenge - which might also become Wolfe’s grave....

I think I'm having some kind of Bromance with Max Wolfe. He is such a complete character; tough, decisive when he needs to be and yet of course still managing to show human frailty. And that frailty never is more obvious than when he's dealing his daughter, Scout. In amongst Parsons's London world of the police, lowlifes and tough old gangster families he still finds time for something very charming and human that is Wolfe's relationship with his daughter and the challenges that they face.

Colin Mace voices Wolfe perfectly managing to convey both the tough policeman and the often-confused and out of his depth father whose daughter constantly reminds me of her young child's wisdom.

There are of course a surfeit of detective series out there and people's preferences will vary as to which is best but I would say that this is definitely up there and worthy of anyone's consideration. It has decent characters both good and bad, an atmospheric setting and enough action and intrigue to keep most people happy.
