Özet

Cuckoos on the Mersey follows the child protection teams in social services and the PVPU (protecting vulnerable people unit- Merseyside Police) on Merseyside. They are in a constant battle to protect the most vulnerable in society. Leo is a sixteen-year-old in the grip of a violent OCG, struggling to kick his addiction to ketamine. When his neighbour Angela is visited by social services, the social workers can't get an answer. They persuade her children to open the door for them and Angela is found unconscious on her settee. A police investigation is launched and an evil criminal network is uncovered. A race against time begins as witnesses are silenced or vanish completely.

Cuckooing is exploitation carried out by criminal gangs who take over the homes of vulnerable people to use as a base for their activities. Addicts, the elderly, the disabled and the young are targeted and threatened with violence to force them to comply.

The story was brilliant, it had me hooked very quickly and threw me into a world unknown to me, I loved the glimpse into every day lives, it felt real and not far-fetched. The narration on this book in particular was excellent.

Relatable characters and a gripping story

I thought that this story was very well written. I loved the way the characters were connected through out the book. It demonstrated the hard work of the social workers and the police. It showed how so many people are vulnerable in today's society.
My only criticism is the atrocious scouse accent of the narrator... Every time he said Huyton I cringed.

Good story line to follow.

The story itself is really interesting and quite emotive, although it does rather shoot off into a political rant over the underfunded services (which I appreciate is the case, but I'll watch Question Time if I want to be outraged). It would have helped if it was narrated by someone who had less of a monotone fake scouse accent (a proper scouser can pronounce Maghull and Huyton, and doesn't veer into Yorkshire on occasions).

Great story, awful narration
