Glasgow 1953: a hard city at a hard time. The war may be over but the battle for the streets is just beginning, and shady investigator Lennox is the man in the middle.

The McGahern twins were on the way up until Tam, the brains of the outfit, becomes the victim of a vicious contract killing. Tam's brother Frankie turns to Lennox to find out who killed his twin. Lennox refuses. Later that night, Frankie turns up dead, and Lennox finds himself in the frame for murder.

The only way of proving his innocence is to solve the crime - but he'll have to dodge men more deadly than Glasgow's crime bosses before he gets any answers.

Like in all the best thrillers the protagonist is a creature of dark and light, but it's dark that pervades this Glasgow noir tale of murder and brutality. The mid-20th century British setting places the action close to home whilst giving the tale historical interest. The key to a good audiobook however is in the narration, and here it's superb. I can't imagine anyone else doing a better job as Lennox's mouthpiece.

What made the experience of listening to Lennox the most enjoyable?

Sean Barrett's performance. I find books now by looking fo books he reads. Do you know how incredibly difficult it is to render a Scots accent? I've previously heard only Peter Selle rs and (believe it or not) the late Chrtstopher Reeve do it faultlessly. Many get the vowels but miss the cadence. I knew Barret can give me accents aplenty--his readings of Phil Rickman's books is superb it (Welsh Border setting - a plethora of British voices) I knew he could give me male, female, old and young. I knew he could deliver pace and emotion. But a Canadian - Glaswegian first person narrative set in Glasgow ? Oh, but this genius does it. Not just one faultlessly rendered Glaswegian accent but a whole strata of them revealing social standing, education cultural bias - he deconstructs a whole city with his incredible voice that convinces you there is a cast of hundreds.
Plus he picks great books to read.

What other book might you compare Lennox to, and why?

Lennox is noir through and through. Like a Glaswegian Maltese Falcon

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

He is a genius. I research what I buy by putting his name iin the search engine. Read Jo Nesbo and the fabulous Phil Rickman. He must read the novels so closely, because he 'gets' each character. I'd love to hear him read Fred Vargas (whose wonderful books have been murdered by an actor who doesn't get the main character)

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I loved the pace of Lennox and it described a Glasgow I was told about in my youth.

Any additional comments?

Listen to anything Sean Barret reads.

One of the best narrator's I've heard and an engaging story. Well worth a listen.

Good story, amazing narration

I loved the narration of this. Transported you back to the fifties(apparently as I am not that old). Good old fashioned storytelling mixed in with believable characters and a decent plot. Grips you all the way through which is what it’s all about.
Look forward to the next one.

A film noir experience. From a book.

At the beginning, I wasn't too sure of where the story was going nor if I would want to continue. Soon though, I became intrigued and it turned into one of those books that you're keen to get back to as the plot twisted and turned.
