Long-listed for the Man Booker Prize. David Carter cannot help but wish for more: that his wife, Eleanor, would be the sparkling girl he once found so irresistible; that his job as a museum curator could live up to the promise it once held; that his daughter's arrival could have brought him closer to Eleanor. But a few careless words spoken by his mother's friend have left David restless with the knowledge that his whole life has been constructed around a lie.

Didn't like the characters or the story, and found the narrator monotonous. The different parts didn't hang together well.

A torso in a suitcase looks like an impossible case, but Sean Duffy isn’t easily deterred, especially when his floundering love life leaves him in need of a distraction. So with detective constables McCrabban and McBride, he goes to work identifying the victim. The torso turns out to be all that’s left of an American tourist who once served in the U.S. military. What was he doing in Northern Ireland in the midst of the 1982 Troubles?

Where does I Hear the Sirens in the Street rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
One of the best. I like the fact that it's a crime novel, but the crime is almost incidental to the story, which really brings to life the day-to-day issues for people working in N Ireland during the Troubles.Also like the wry sense of humour, and the way he weaves the story around real-life events.
What was one of the most memorable moments of I Hear the Sirens in the Street?
The part where they in an armoured vehicle being shot at -- very graphic description.
What does Gerard Doyle bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Doyle is easy to listen to, and he does a great job of bringing out the character of the narrator.
