By: J M Dalgliesh

Narrated by: Greg Patmore

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?

The Dark Yorkshire Series 1-3

These stories kept my interest from the beginning and the twist in the story wanted me to not stop listening.

Great series

I am a fan of JM Dalgliesh and have read all of his series. He does a great job developing a story and the characters. DI Nathaniel is not my fave character at least not in the beginning as he is so self-destructive, selfish and never shares info with his colleagues. He does grow as a character through the series which is something I look for in books.
To note: in Blacklight, JM Dalgliesh seems to have gotten his story from a real US serial killer, Israel Keys. And also borrowed a scenario from an unsolved (I think) New York serial killer, even down to the 911 recording of the escort and her bodyguard. Glad I knew the stories. Israel Keys was absolutely sick and also stitched the victims eyes open.

unlikable main character

The main character appears to have no self awareness and very few redeeming qualities. Hard to get invested in him.

Too Drawn Out

Really well written and wonderful narration but it drags. If you like a longer slower novel you will love this.

wow

Great series. They are well written with deep characters. and the voice talent is great as well.

The Dark Yorkshire Series books 1-3

I really enjoyed all three of these books.They were well written and I liked the characters.They all revolve around DI Caslin and the underground people that pepper his life.He works against a system that seems to fight him and sometimes the bad guys win.Greg Patmore was a terrific narrator!I look forward to more in this series.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.'

Fabulous

Narrator was the best I’d heard. Story was excellent.Will get the next series and anything written by this author

Enjoyable listen

Pace is good, generally a twist at the end and I really like the narrator

Not for mindless listening.

I started book 1 several times and after 2 or 3 chapters realized I don’t get it. Only after focusing on listening I could continue. Each story is multi leveled and It’s easy to get lost in it and remember all characters and their names.
Overall I think the writing and narration were excellent comparing to many audiobooks I listened to.

Engrossing tales brilliantly narrated

The darkness is thrilling as the plot propels you through delicious layers of tense intrigue.
