Animal Instinct: Human Zoo

An Audible Original Drama

De: Simon Booker

Narrado por: Imogen Church, Brendan Coyle, Victoria Hamilton, Joseph Marcell, Niky Wardley, Lia Williams

We're all animals...although some of us have more primal instincts than others.

Ex-policeman Joe Cassidy has a keen interest in animal behaviour and how it can have a bearing on some of the most heinous of human crimes - a talent that has heavily informed his detective work over the years. Although until now, he thought that he had left detective work behind....

Suffering from PTSD and wracked with guilt and failure after a grisly discovery in a particularly disturbing case, Joe lives in a lonely shack in the shadow of the nuclear power station at Dungeness. But when the daughter of an old friend goes missing, the investigation centres on the wealthy family's animal park.

Owing the owner a favour from years past, Joe is drawn further and further into the enquiry - hoping to solve the riddle of the disappearance amid the family's increasing dysfunction and desperate to find redemption for himself in the process.

Featuring: Fehinti Balogun, Pippa Bennett-Warner, Ed Bluemel, Imogen Church, Brendan Coyle, Laurence Dobiesz, Victoria Hamilton, Rebekah Hinds, David John, Harry Lloyd, Brigid Lohrey, Joseph Marcell, Michael Shon, James Smith, Jo Stone-Fewings, Niky Wardley, Sarah Whitehouse and Lia Williams.

Not for me

I liked the story I just don't like this type of narration. All the background noises were too much. The story was good. I just prefer a simple narration.

This was a massive trip, like damn....

Let me start off by saying the story telling and performances were absolutely amazing. So many twist and turns as the story progresses to keep you interested. Then that final twist hits and the writer brings you on this horrifying ride yet entertaining ride.

One of the absolute best listens ever!!!

I cannot believe it took me so long to find this book! Now I need more Joe Cassidy! This had so many twisted turns. The production was excellent. I felt like I was in the drama bravo listen to no negative reviews.

Shocking ending!

Unexpected ending, well written, brilliant performances! Really enjoyed much more than expected. Very well done!

A great whodunit

I found this looking for a performance by Brendan Coyle after watching reruns of Downton Abbey (he played Mr. Bates) and appreciating his voice. So I 'd give this give stars just for that, however the other voices are also give stars, only four for the sound affects which occasionally obscure the voices. Generally the production is an audio drama, not the usual narrative. The story is well devised if not Dashiell Hammett. I look forward to more in this series. BTW it's hard to find a print version of this story.

Fooled Me

Loved this story! Each time I thought I figured out who done it, I was wrong. Performances were excellent.

Almost too good

The writing and performance of this book are so excellent that I got emotionally involved. The man's torment was so real. I'm glad I finished it, though. It has a good conclusion, although too realistic to be called "happy".

loved it!

amazing story!!! I just loved this book!!! had to listen twice, the narrator Imogen church is my absolute favorite person in the world!!! i get lost in her narration i feel like I'm right there !

Good story. Good narrators.

Interesting story . Not bad . Not great. Good listening. The book was too short. Good narrators

Awesome performance great book

This was the first theatrical performance book I’ve listened to (and I’ve listed to A LOT of audio books) and I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. The story was super good and the performance was awesome. It was like “listening to a movie”
