A DCI Yorke Thriller, Book 1

De: Wes Markin

Narrado por: Aubrey Parsons

School should be the safest place in the world. Not this winter. Detective Michael Yorke faces his most harrowing case yet.

When 12-year-old Paul disappears from school, Yorke’s only clue is a pool of animal blood. Fearing the worst, he turns toward the most obvious suspect: recently released local murderer Thomas Ray. But as the snow in Salisbury worsens, Ray’s mutilated body is discovered, and Yorke is left with no choice but to journey into the sinister heart of a demented family that has plagued the community for generations.

Can he save the boy? Or will the evil he discovers change him forever?

The shocking and exhilarating new crime thriller will have you listening late into the night.

Praise for the book:

"An explosive and visceral debut with the most terrifying of killers. Wes Markin is a new name to watch out for in crime fiction, and I can't wait to see more of Detective Yorke." (best-selling crime author Stephen Booth)

A family of killers, the race to save a child.

*I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.*

A family with a long history of mental health issues, warnings for blood and animal slaughter.

An interesting story that I believe I would have enjoyed more reading it because of a high amount of characters. I was somehow lost a few times because of this.

The narrator was amazing and made me want to finish the story, helping me be interested in it throughout. He kept a good pace, differenciated every character with his voice and narrated properly. I loved his accent.

The characters were well rounded and their stories explained, but I think there are too many for an audiobook.

I enjoyed listening to it, but I believe the descriptions of animal slaughtering and their body parts was horrible. Those were the sections where I lost interest.

If you're not easily impressed by this, I recommend the book.

Family business pain

Never have I seen or read such graphic doings in and around a family. From pigs to pops as the bones break. My kind of book yes sir I loved it I will recommend it to anybody with the guts to read it come on.

More Detective Work and Less Gore

One Last Prayer for the Rays
A DCI Yorke Thriller, Book 1
By: Wes Markin

WARNING ******** If you are sensitive to blood and gore you need to avoid this book!!!

This is a mystery thriller that starts fast and keeps the listener spellbound throughout, If you can get past the gore. The Ray family are the most extremely

dysfunctional kind of people imaginable.

A twelve year old boy disappears from school and the hunt is on. Many twists and turns and some unexpected surprises thrown in.

I probably won't follow this series if it continues like this one. A lot more detective work with less gore would help.

The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed. Aubrey Parsons gave an exciting performance.

I wish we had gotten to know Yorke better as he's the biggest piece in the puzzle. There were a ton of characters that I got lost in, almost too many characters. I liked that the action began immediately and that the tension was gripping for the duration of the book. I liked the pacing and the dark tone, espeically for a murder mystery thriller. Parsons' narration grew on me as the story progressed, and added to the tension and tone with his own dialect and characterization. Don't want to ruin anything, but brace yourself for the end!
