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?

Ghastly narration, is the narrator being strangled

Audible is making me jump through hoops to return this waste of a credit. Refund me please.

Brilliant!

These titles are all brilliant. The writing is excellent, the characterisation couldn’t be bettered, and the narrator perfectly voices both characters and story. I adore DI Caslin. The environment of York and Yorkshire is a wonderful setting, brought to life beautifully for a reader who has only visited. I went from book to book and couldn’t stop listening to each. Just had to know what happened next. I’ve now read (listened to) all of the DI Caslin series, and hope there will be more.

Narration totally ruined the book

Hate to leave bad reviews but highly recommend you listen to a sample before purchasing. It annoyed me so much that I can barely start the book let alone finish it so really can’t say how the actual storyline is!

Good reader mis-cast

Narrator is a good reader/story-teller but his character voicing sounds too old and placid for a detective who it turns out is only 39. Also, like a number of male readers he opts for an effete, breathy voice to denote female. This means that characters like the smart, tough pathologist end up sounding somewhat weak and feeble. i just couldn't get a picture of this team as i felt they were tougher and more dynamic than the voices conveyed. That said, the story goes along at a nice pace. Agree with some of the criticisms that the characters need more depth -- and the supposedly smart Caslin seems inexplicably to ignore some obvious lines of inquiry. But he's basically an interesting type and the stories are good.

A really great collection!

Some very different plot lines made this whole book really enjoyable - and it was great to have three books in one too! No extra work to download the next story etc.
Can't wait to get stuck into the next multiple book now!

Lives up to expectations!

Live the continuity of being able to follow Caslin through multiple cases. Did find I was confusing characters a bit but the story lines really kept me thinking.
