Not my usual genre but I had a code to read it so I did. From the start, this fast paced drama grabbed my attention & I wondered if it was going to be too violent for my taste...it wasn't & the reason for this is the family central to the story, particularly young Bryn. The Evans family have no previous involvement in crime & are completely out of their depth when they are suddenly caught up in the middle of a terrible situation, which engages the reader fully. Dad is particularly clueless when judging the severity of the threat against his family, which comes across as unintentionally hilarious at times.

The story moves very quickly and there are many characters. Whilst the pace keeps the listener listening intently, some of the characters lacked depth, too much focus on the action rather than the people involved in it meant that I was really only rooting for Young Bryn in the end. The book wasn't too long so I think the author could have dedicated a little more time to making the central characters a little more well rounded. I certainly would have liked to know a little more about the background of Simon for example.

The drama is set in my home area, so the landscapes and humour were very familiar to me. The dark humour around some of the situations encountered made me laugh out loud, not sure if they were supposed too but they were typical Scouse humour which resonated with my own culture & background.

The narrator was superb, almost every voice was male so Diana had her work cut out. There were also a wide range of accents to cover and I was particularly impressed with her Liverpudlian & Russian accents. There was one Welsh guy in there who may have been mixed race but other than that, Diana's ability to express the voices and the emotions of the situation brought a reality to the story that would have been lacking had this not been an audiobook.

I've not read Conrad Jones before but I wouldn't rule out reading more from him. I thought Brick would make a good film or tv series, though I don't have a tv so what would I know?

It really is gritty & unputdownable!

So I really enjoy Conrad Jones books and this one yet again did not disappoint. I felt so sorry for the poor boy who got caught up in such a terrible world just for trying to protect himself from an attack. This story is full of evil men but thankfully also some down right decent families who although they may not have much look out for each other through everything. I loved it and also really enjoyed the narration by Diana Croft as well.

Another exciting thriller

Diana croft the narrator made this book come to life she was purely sublime , I have also read the child Taker and Criminal insane by the same author , really good books HOWEVER if it was not for Diana Croft the books would not have been brilliant to listen to. I started listening to soft target by the same author Conrad Jones and ditched it after 6 chapters as the narrator simply could not live up to the exceptionally high standard Diana Croft had set. This book was a gritty impossible to stop listening to gripping thriller its a must read or listen. I am now searching for other books narrated by Diana Croft because its her who is the difference between mediocre and truly amazeballs listen . If you dont believe me listen to the book yourself.
