About this listen

The Dark Yorkshire Series - fast-paced crime fiction stories featuring DI Nathaniel Caslin.

The first three full-length books in this best-selling series are brought together for the first time in this great value set.

DIVIDED HOUSE

The public face. A private reality. Sometimes, the dead have a lot to hide....

DI Nathaniel Caslin’s life is a mess. He works the minimum, abuses substances to survive the day, and drinks his nights away. A once-promising career is in freefall.

Investigating the death of an ex-serviceman in police custody reveals the disappearance of a young family. No one noticed. No one seems to care. In the grip of a bitter Yorkshire winter, a family home reluctantly offers up its grisly secrets. Out on the moors, a murder scene of horrific brutality demands Caslin's focused attention. In the search for answers, is anyone who they claim to be?

Haunted by the ghosts of the past, Caslin is pushed to his limits. Will this case break him or be his path to redemption?

BLACKLIGHT

Two women are missing. One who has it all. The other has lost everything....

DI Nathaniel Caslin is in conflict with his inner demons. His career is resurgent, but the greater battle, that with his addiction, is still raging...and he is losing.

An abandoned car and a desperate call to the police lead Caslin into the heart of two families where secrets and lies are a way of life. What links the fate of an MP's granddaughter and that of a recovering drug addict working in the sex trade?

Past horrors and personal scandals tag with the present as the tension mounts. Trust in those closest to him is brought into question as Caslin pursues a deadly adversary. Lives hang in the balance and all the while, the clock is ticking....

THE DOGS IN THE STREET

A murdered family man. A young woman tortured and set on fire. A face from the past....

DI Nathaniel Caslin is stable for the first time in years. Now he can look to the future, or so he thought. Granting a small favour to a friend can often be anything but simple....

When the only link between two apparently random murders appears to be an aging Catholic priest, Caslin is thrust into a world of long-buried secrets. Drawing unwanted attention from the intelligence services, he must consider if the man he once trusted above all others is now playing by his own rules. With professional killers circling, Caslin must face uncomfortable truths about those seeking redemption. Sometimes, justice is best served from the wrong side of the law.

With the net tightening, the level of threat increases. Will Caslin, along with those closest to him, be the last victims of a forgotten conflict?

Being from this very area, it drew me to listen. I managed to make it past my initial distaste of a put-on Yorkshire accent that made it sound as though the hero was permanently drunk and half asleep. I really enjoyed all three stories, but to listen to more...? Hmm. Definitely not sure.

Great storyline - struggled with the narration

I read the listened to the first book and really enjoyed it so I bought all three and throughly enjoyed the nex two installments the narrator really gets in to all the nooks and crannies and bring out the story.

Excellent

It’s the usual detective storyline - drink, drugs, broken marriage and kids he doesn’t get to see anymore. However, that’s what makes him so interesting as we are not bothered about conventionality are we? We like to see unorthodox methods, bending of the rules, annoying the top brass and generally upsetting all of his colleagues. This is what gives the character depth and believability and the reason why I like this guy. Being a Scotsman I found the narration quite hard to get used to initially but it grew on me and I soon realised that it was vital to the overall storytelling.
I am a big fan of detective novels and this sits in my reading/listening list alongside that other paragon of virtuous righteousness and defender of the law (I.e detective from hell) - DS Bruce Robertson (Filth - Irvine Welsh). Whilst nowhere near the low level of scummery as Bruce, Caslin portrays similar traits which he manages to keep locked away. For now anyway.
The one drawback with the first set of three books is the unusually high body count. Really? In Yorkshire..?!

Overall enjoyable

At first I was struggling with the narration and main protagonist was very irritating. before I knew it, I was addicted. instead on going to my next planned book, I'm gonna have to download the next in the series..

Well worth your time

I love the Dark Yorkshire series. I struggled with the narrator to begin then I grew used to him. All of the books are really good. I wish there were more. I will listen again which is a good sign.

Dark and moody
