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?

Overall enjoyable

It’s the usual detective storyline - drink, drugs, broken marriage and kids he doesn’t get to see anymore. However, that’s what makes him so interesting as we are not bothered about conventionality are we? We like to see unorthodox methods, bending of the rules, annoying the top brass and generally upsetting all of his colleagues. This is what gives the character depth and believability and the reason why I like this guy. Being a Scotsman I found the narration quite hard to get used to initially but it grew on me and I soon realised that it was vital to the overall storytelling.
I am a big fan of detective novels and this sits in my reading/listening list alongside that other paragon of virtuous righteousness and defender of the law (I.e detective from hell) - DS Bruce Robertson (Filth - Irvine Welsh). Whilst nowhere near the low level of scummery as Bruce, Caslin portrays similar traits which he manages to keep locked away. For now anyway.
The one drawback with the first set of three books is the unusually high body count. Really? In Yorkshire..?!

It's all going off in Yorkshire!

Imaginative, action packed & tense with frequent surprises - I've REALLY enjoyed these 3 Dark Yorkshire books & have already purchased the next 3. Very refreshing to have these crime stories set in Yorkshire as mostly other great crime Authors are set in Scotland. Well developed characters about whom the listener quickly cares. Thank u for great story telling in Yorkshire.

three good books, read well

I enjoyed these very much, they were not predictable, and the main characters were very human. I would definitely recommend if you like the genre.

Dreadful narrator

I had high hopes of this but the narrator is dire so it had to go back

Sharp intake of breath stories. Brilliant.

Love these books. Did all 3 over 4 days. Found myself gasping out loud in some parts. Embarrassing when you’ve got AirPods in and you’re in the middle of Tesco. Thoroughly recommend. Now getting the next 3.

A great bargain and very Yorkshire

It has been brilliant to have this detective novel set in Yorkshire narrated by Yorkshireman. The stories are quite gritty and engaging. I think I preferred the first two over the last, but I am sure others would disagree. If you like detective stories were, the detective isn’t the Great predictable hero, but a man struggling with his own life than this is the book for you.
