About this listen
Luther meets The Wire. This is the first Detective Harry Virdee audiobook.
The sky over Bradford is heavy with foreboding. It always is. But this morning it has reason to be - this morning a body has been found. And it's not just any body.
Detective Harry Virdee should be at home with his wife. Impending fatherhood should be all he can think about, but he's been suspended from work just as the biggest case of the year lands on what would have been his desk. He can't keep himself away. Determined to restore his reputation, Harry is obliged to take to the shadows in search of notorious ex-convict and prime suspect Lucas Dwight.
But as the motivations of the murder threaten to tip an already unstable city into riotous anarchy, Harry finds his preconceptions turned on their head, and he discovers what it's like to be on the other side of the law....
©2016 A. A. Dhand (P)2016 Audible, LtdWould you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
No. Great plot line, but very poor character development. There is not a likeable character in the book and so, you don't really care what happens to any of themHow would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Added some depth to the main charactersHow did the narrator detract from the book?
He sounded like he had a speech defectDo you think Streets of Darkness needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
Not if it's like this oneAny additional comments?
This could have been a really good book. The plot is unique and the location a refreshing changeGreat idea, dissapointing delivery

Streets of Darkness is a real rollercoaster ride with enought twists to make you dizzy. It is well writted, the plot is strong and fast paced with lots of violence, and when I'd finished I wanted more!
What a character Harry Virdee is. He's a British born Sikh married to Saima, a muslim, and both have been ostracised by their families. I loved the bond that they had as a couple. Currently suspended from work, he's a real maverick who breaks every rule in the book. The rest of the characters and diverse and interesting.
This is one of my favourite listens so far this year, and I'm going straight on to listen to Book 2. I can't get enough of Harry!
I have seen much criticism of the narrator, Muzz Khan, but I enjoyed his narration. I felt his voice was authentic for the book. My only criticism is that he spoke quite slowly so I had to speed up the narration, but then it was perfect.
Brilliant start to a series!
