Publisher's summary

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?

Fantastic story telling! Kept me on edge!

I’m used to mysteries being predictable but still enjoy them. Not so with these! (Wait- I mean, not predictable- very enjoyable.)

Each book is just as good as the last! The narrator nailed the accents and the author provided an amazing amount of detail! I’m bothering my husband to listen to this series!

Too much quavering

The narrator is great at doing voices but his voice quavers and rises in tone so much it seems like he is often on the verge of tears. I couldn’t follow the story through his breathy voice. I regret spending a credit on this one. Can’t comment on the story because the narrators quavering voice was so distracting.

Narration Distracting

Narrators had a very distracting breathlessness. Interesting complex plot. Way too long. Could not finish.

Great Detective Yarns!

Good stories, excellent narration. Author is rather a little bit slightly wordy and repetitive - the detective must have more ways of showing his ID than "brandishing his warrant card". But that's a minor criticism - good plot twists and creative material.

Nothing Special

I bought this as a box set Books 1-3. Luckily it was on sale so it wasn't a full credit used. I found it lacking: predictable characters and plot. Even the narration was nothing special. I have enjoyed several British police procedural series in the past and would recommend those over this. I only listened to the first and wont bother with the next.
Try: the DCI Logan series, by J D Kirk and narration by Angus King; Or the Sean Duffy series by Adrian McKinty and narrated by and Gerard Doyle; Or the DCI Smith series by Peter Grainger and narration of Gildart Jackson. All vastly superior.

Too Drawn Out

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