I loved this book. I enjoy Conrad Jones' writting. It's an action filled story. Some of the old characters are back. The writer gives a surprise ending. I enjoyed narrating by Julia Farhat.

Excellent book

If I tell you how much I love the innovative and horrific violence Conrad Jones dreams up, are you going to judge me? Well, apologies, but I'm thrilled that Mr Jones put his extensive talents to writing and didn't decide to become a serial killer, because he's got some outrageous ideas! Needless to say, I haven't been reading the series in any kind of order, but that doesn't detract from its brilliance. I know, if I pick up a book by Conrad Jones, I'm going to get a brilliant and fast paced action story, filled with repulsive baddies and plenty of gore and guts. He gets the balance right every single time. Criminally Insane had so many different threads, and, with his usual aplomb, Mr Jones weaved them together to a fabulous and satisfying climax. I don't know how he does it, but please don't stop. Another thoroughly deserved 5 stars from me.

Explosively satisfying!

After sending Slow Burn back , because of inappropriate narration , I decided to try another book by Conrad Jones. Yet again I was really disappointed by the reading by Julia Farhat who had no idea what a Liverpool accent was!! The story set in Liverpool and the North
West was yet again spoiled by terrible ,boring ,narration .
I stayed till the end but felt that I had wasted my time.
I have now decided that Conrad Jones is not my cup of tea with the violence and poor depiction of the characters.

Narration terrible.

Having read several other books by the excellent Conrad Jones I knew what to expect, and I wasn’t disappointed. This is another action packed, unnerving, very violent thriller set in Liverpool’s murky underworld. For anyone who has also read the Child Taker, well he’s back in this book and so is Tank!

The action is absolutely none stop and almost left me breathless. As the book goes on the blood and guts and gore pile up so this is most definitely not a book for the squeamish! There are several plot lines which all come together very cleverly, and towards the end there was a surprise/shock I definitely never saw coming.

I loved The Child Taker and Slow Burn but this one is the best yet and I can’t wait to read book 4 in the series!

Absolutely superb

Could get past the first hour. The narrator’s voice and style grated. I’ll switch to reading this one.

Argh the narrator

What disappointed you about Criminally Insane?

Great books seriously let down by a very poor, almost robotic narration.

What did you like best about this story?

The plot

What didn’t you like about Julia Farhat’s performance?

Her timing is very strange, her generic 'female' accent for all women in the books, lack of any expression and ferling and the strange empasis on random words.

You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Conrad Jones is an excellent storyteller but really needs a half way decent narrator or they are unlistenable.

Worst Narrator i have ever heard!
