About this listen
In a grimy flat in the city of Cork, a man lies dead. His face is unrecognisable: seven gunshots have shattered cartilage and bone. Yet DS Katie Maguire, of the Irish Garda, knows exactly who he is. Amir Xaaji Maxamed, an evil man who trafficked young girls to be sold for sex. When a second pimp is killed, Katie must decide. Are these vigilante murders justified? And can she stop them spiralling out of control?

Critic reviews
A great listen

What does Caroline Lennon bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Caroline is usually an excellent narrator. Here, however, the emphasis and inflection was wrong many times. I was surprised, as I have listened to her several times before and this has never previously been the case. Of course the editing is also lacking for not picking this up. However, great ability still knocks spots of most narrators, so it still merits four stars.If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Beware the anger of a woman.Any additional comments?
This is a gripping listen/read. It is not for the faint hearted, as it is frequently quite gruesome. Sadly, I found Katie somewhat superficially drawn and this makes it a four star story, rather than a five for me. Nevertheless, I look forward to reading others in the series.Gripping!

DS Katie Maguire, was a credible character, except at the point when she allowed her mother-to-be to drive her car! I knew what was going to happen instantly. Also, who did it!
Myself. I might have turned my back & allowed that last killing! 🤷♀️
A Great Narrator!

and I know lots of the places. I’d love Cork accents to be a feature though.

Would you consider the audio edition of Red Light to be better than the print version?
I have not seen the print version but found the audio version to be thoroughly engrossingWho was your favorite character and why?
Det Supt Katie McGuireWhich scene did you most enjoy?
The detail in the opening scenes where the first body was found set a very high standard for the rest of the bookIf you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
A Corker of a crime thrillerGritty crime thriller enfused with Irish wit

Minus: romance sub plot is just silly
The cork voice is authentic even if some of the views held about women in the police force are severely outdated - we have moved on!
I will yeah!

What made the experience of listening to Red Light the most enjoyable?
I really like the narrator, she makes Katie Maguire come to life, and transports you to Ireland. I enjoy the rather gory macabre type of criminal detective work and how the baddie "gets it" in the end. But thats my preference.Any additional comments?
If you enjoy Stuart Macbride then you will enjoy this series. Start at the first book though, it introduces the characters. Make sure you have eaten first, unless you are on a diet. It puts you off your food a bit.Have a strong stomach and a sense of humour
