About this listen

'Powerful, provocative, beautiful and unforgettable. All Us Sinners is a chilling, moving, majestic debut' --- CHRIS WHITAKER

Leeds, 1977. A chill lies over the city: sex workers are being murdered by a serial killer they are calling the 'Ripper', the streets creeping with fear.

Tough, sharp, but tender, Maureen runs Rio's, a clean, discreet brothel in the city. She's a good boss who takes great care of her workers - especially her best girls, Bev and Anette. The Ripper may be terrifying girls who work the street, but at Rio's the girls seem safer.

But when Bev's sweet-natured son is found beaten to death, a figure from Maureen's past, DS Mick Hunniford, shows up at her door. Does his arrival herald danger or salvation? And who can Maureen really trust?

The impressive and moving debut crime novel from huge new talent Katy Massey opens up a world we have rarely seen, at a time of great danger and drama.

I love books set in my hometown of Leeds so I immediately bought this book set in 70s Leeds during the Yorkshire Ripper's reign of terror. However this is not a book about the Ripper, but the protagonist is Mo, an ex prostitute who now runs a massage Parlour called Rio's, employing her two friends, Bev and Annette. When Bev's gentle teenage son is brutally murdered Mo tries to find out what really happened.

The author brilliantly captures the mood of the time and strongly conveys the fear that women, and especially working girls, feel because a serial killer is on the loose. As a woman in my early twenties living in Leeds in 1977 I could well understand this. The women, and Mo in particular, are the stars of this book. They are so well drawn and realistic and I was totally invested in their lives. The book is about friendship and loyalty and survival. It also covers the difficult topics of racism, sexism and police bias. I loved the local detail with locations that I know. This is a fantastic debut novel, ad I'd love to see Mo again in a sequel!

Cathy Tyson is a great actress but I'm not sure she was the right narrator for this book. She obviously does not know Leeds so there were a couple of place name mispronunciations and I'd have preferred to listen to someone with a Leeds accent.

Fantastic debut novel
