Summary

The brilliant first novel in the Merseyside crime series - a thrilling listen full of twists

A mutilated body apparently washed up on a windswept beach. A violent criminal gang preys on moped riders across the area. A teenage girl is desperate to escape sexual exploitation.

It’s a tough introduction to Merseyside for Detective Inspector April Decent, who’s just arrived from her native Yorkshire. Together with new colleague Skeeter Warlock, Decent quickly discovers there’s a sinister link between them all, one that will bring them face-to-face with some uncomfortable home truths.

Catch as Catch Can is the thrilling first novel in the Merseyside crime series from Malcolm Hollingdrake, author of the best-selling Harrogate crime series.

Too Long

Not a bad book. I just managed to get to the end. However it jumps around too much. in the middle of a chapter you can be listening to a witness being interviewed. Then in the next sentence someone is being tortured. Very disconcerting. I kept having to rewind to keep up. The whole book could be cut by third if you take out the long descriptions of objects and feelings. I found it all very confusing , so won't be bothering with this writer again..

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
