I often buy audio books to help me relax and drop off to sleep, but this one kept me up for ages, wanting to find out what happened next.
I would recommend this audio book.
Gripping listen.

The violence in this book at times ( and I won’t add a spoiler ) was a fairly dark listen and at times was like watching a disturbing film. Maybe that is because the time frame of the events of this book are closer to our current time. The depictions are probably accurate enough for what happened at the time. And the thing about a book is that it can be far more graphic than a film.
The action and the story is great. It was a slow burner to begin with and took me a few attempts to ( a long drive ) to properly start to enjoy the story; when I did I couldn’t stop listening.
The narrator is excellent aswell, probably the best I have heard.
Hard to start but couldn’t stop listening when I got into it.
