The Interrogation: The Complete Series 1-5

De: Roy Williams

Narrado por: Alex Lanipekun, full cast, Kenneth Cranham

Kenneth Cranham and Alex Lanipekun star in these fifteen hard-hitting crime dramas

Chalk and cheese coppers Max Matthews and Sean Armitage are from different generations and different worlds, but together they make a remarkable team. In this powerful, unconventional police procedural, we join the detective duo in the interview room, as they practise their unique style of interrogation in a bid to extract a confession.

These fifteen dramas all focus on a different suspect, each with their own story and version of events. Among the varied characters we hear from are Rod, a Premier League footballer accused of rape; Jermaine, a ruthless gang leader; Marc, an ex-policeman suspected of domestic violence; and Beverley, who has come into the station to report her elderly father as missing. As the details of their crimes are revealed, we get under their skin, and come to understand what motivated them to do what they did.

Compelling and compassionate, these dramas probe some of today’s most troubling moral issues, inviting us to face hard truths, but holding out the possibility of redemption. With razor-sharp dialogue and characters that feel entirely authentic, they’ll linger in your mind long after you’ve finished listening.

great book

I loved this .great cast.wonderful atmosphere.i couldn't stop listening..excellent performance of the cast.Made me think.

Surprised

When I 1st began to listen to this book, I thought I would not enjoy it.. After 2 stories I was hooked the voice actors were great and the story is very well written. I was upset when when the book ended, I could have listened to 10 more stories.

Exquisite

Old-school drama with a new age soul. A pleasant surprise as I trawled through BBC radio dramas.

The Bill

Takes me back to the old days of the TV show the Bill. (A UK ) Cop show. Great banter all the way. I guess I miss the ol UK accent.

THE Police Procedural for the 21st Century!

Every story grips the listener tightly and holds tight until the final truth is revealed.

I didn’t appreciate the Social Justice Theme

I had to finally stop listening when it devolved into a homosexual story. Disgusting. Also a lot of time is wasted by the reading of the credits after each chapter.
