Gritty and Violent

11 hours unabridged narration of violent, bent coppers,rape, prostitution,stabbings,gun murder , sweary, gritty,prison cells,body hunts ,cyber scams, beating ups , torture, paedophilia, dog killing.
This is not my usual choice of audiobook but I’ve given it four stars as it is a page turner and the villain is so rotten you want to see him caught .The final chapters culminate in long stretches of descriptive violence . The ending was satisfactory though not really complete.
If thats what you want then this book fits the bill . Brooks started off writing very good children’s books though many parents might disapprove of their realistic grittiness .
Dance of Ghosts is his first adult book .
I wont listen to another as I find Brooks grimy underworld , albeit very real , quite depressing.
The narration was satisfactory though the female voices came over odd at times reminding me of the gormless Granddad out of Only Fools and Horses.
4/5 .
If you like heavy , criminal violence you would probably give it 5/5 .
