There are some surprises that no-one should ever have to experience. Standing over the body of your beloved - and murdered - niece is one of them.

For Detective Inspector Harry Virdee, a man perilously close to the edge, it feels like the beginning of the end. His boss may be telling him he's too close to work the case, but this isn't something that Harry can just let lie. He needs to dive into the murky depths of the Bradford underworld and find the monster that lurks there who killed his flesh and blood. But before he can, he must tell his brother, Ron, the terrible news.

And there is no predicting how he will react. Impulsive, dangerous and alarmingly well connected, Ron will act first and think later. Harry may have a murderer to find, but if he isn't careful he may also have a murder to prevent.

Eleştirmen yorumları

"Outstanding - relentless, multi-layered suspense and real human drama make this a crime debut to relish." (Lee Child)
"A tense slice of neo-noir that has won Dhand comparisons to both BBC drama Luther and HBO's The Wire." ( Observer)
"A sombre, gritty race through the unsettling underbelly of the city...compelling and unflinching." ( Yorkshire Post)

Where does Girl Zero rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Quite high - I haven't listened to many.

What did you like best about this story?

It's location.

Have you listened to any of Muzz Khan’s other performances? How does this one compare?

This is my first listen to Muzz Khan - from reviews I have read, I was prepared to dislike it but I think it contributed to the originality of the book's overall style.

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

The book is loaded with 'attitude' which is presented very bluntly - this made the book interesting but, for me, not particularly moving.

Any additional comments?

When Girl Zero was released on Audible, I decided to buy the paperback of the original instalment and I'm glad I did. I'm not sure if the author is planning an open-ended series or a fixed length one. I'm thinking that one more novel has the potential to complete a very satisfying trilogy but, after that, it will be hard to maintain the intensity.

Formulaic, but also completely original

I finished this book a while back but I haven't written a review yet because, weird as it sounds, I can't decide if I liked it or not! Can I firstly deal with the narration. I usually listen to books at a speed of 1.2, because it means I can listen to more books but it's not so fast that you can't keep up with the conversation. Muzz Khan speaks so slowly that I upped the speed to 1.3, then 1.4 and finally settled on 1.5! Even with that speed I found myself getting impatient at times!! I thought the story was good and well thought out. The cultural differences between generations within the same family were heartbreakingly credible, and it's altogether too easy to imagine those type of arguments happening in families throughout the world all the time. I think it was the elements between Harry and his brother that I felt stretched the boundaries of plausibility, I couldn't get my head around it at all. So, between that and the narration issues, I may well buy another ebook by A A Dhand, not sure if I'd invest in an audio version with this narrator. Sorry

Erm, I'm not sure!

Girl zero - I like this book even though the subject matter wasn’t very nice & it would be disturbing to some listeners
I like Detective Videe I hope any other books with him in are not so disturbing
Good good narration

Dhand really gets Bradford. The hope, the despair; the constant tension between order and chaos. This is a well-plotted novel, and is brought to life brilliantly by Muzz Khan.

Thrilling novel, stellar performance

Avarage story, not much suspension.. But the accent was really putting me off through the book

Did not like the accent
