Story
The enigmatic and brooding Detective Chief Police Inspector Simon Serrailler has long regarded drugs operations in Lafferton as a waste of time. The small-time dealers picked up outside the local high school can’t - or won’t - turn in any valuable names, so they are merely given a fine and the trail runs cold. But when the body of a 22-year-old drug addict is found in neighboring Starley, the case pulls Serrailler into the underbelly of an elaborate drug running operation that pushes narcotics out from the cities, into the suburbs, and right down to villages.

Makes Bleak House look like a beach read
This is a story so dark and heartbreaking that I find it hard to write this review. The setting is extraordinary, the characters entirely believable, and the writing simply excellent throughout. Unfortunately, I felt like my heart had been ripped out at the end.
I wasn't bullied nor was I a bully, but this story arc was unbearably tragic. If you were bullied, it would be triggering.
I didn't read reviews ahead of time --- I often do not because of spoilers --- but I hoped that if the story were about bullying, the tables would be turned and the bully would get his. Sadly, that was not the case.
But Susan Hill told a powerful, excellent story full of truth and emotion without ever going over the top. I can't fault her because it didn't end the way I would have liked.

Beware: Spoiler in review reveals ending
A spare and stunningly conceived and written biography of bullying. However, listening to it was like watching a kitten being prepared to be boiled alive. It was literally painful at times to hear the distress of Kingshaw, the main character. I only continued to listen because Hill continued to dangle the hope that the worm might finally and irrevocably turn. In the end, the evil boy triumphs and the sensitive lad succumbs. This at least illuminates our current political situation, in which lies can overwhelm truth, cruelty overpowers kindness, and relentless and prolonged inhumanity, united with mass indifference, defeats the will to fight back. I felt utterly wrung out by the end of the book, but better informed about our political process.

Devastating
I can see why Susan Hill is a Dame Commander.
This story is devastating and utterly realistic. Another reviewer mentioned being triggered by it. I wasn’t triggered until I came to the part where the mother refused to believe the truth. That brought back all the helpless, hopeless feelings from my childhood and I almost didn’t finish the book. The character metamorphosis of the protagonist perfectly portrays what happens to a child who experiences relentless bullying. Yes, even up to the end. Nothing in this story is exaggerated. It is so realistic that I almost want to say it’s not fiction.
Bullying is no joke. It is psychological torture and it wounds the victim for life. It should never ever be ignored.

strangely compelling
A dark and broody book. I didn't know where it was heading until finally it got there all too soon.Having read other Susan Hill books i was surprised by the content and as it went on i thought it may have been a childrens book, however the reality was that this was a book about the bullies,the fears and unsureness of juveniles growing up and about the nasty relationships which are so often hidden from most of our lives.
Very enjoyable, even if the ending was a little abrupt!

Somewhat disappointed
I have listened and read quite a number of Susan Hill's books, mostly the Simon Serrailler ones all of which I have thoroughly enjoyed. Unfortunately I felt whilst there were excellent complexities to the characters which certainly maintained interest there seemed to be relative lack of strength to the overall storyline and conclusion.
I was tiring of the book towards the end.
I appreciate that this may only be my opinion, but that's how it is.
Do check the other Susan Hill books out, especially Woman in Black.

Unrelenting Suffering and Sadness
I usually like Susan Hills books but this one was very depressing with absolutely no cheer or hope for humanity. One good and kindly character wold have helped to keep me going but I struggled to bear the bullying and harshness the poor little central character had to experience . A cheerful listen is needed for a dose of happiness after this dirge. I kept on thinking it will end with some warmth and humanity but no...

Poor plot development
This read like an excellent short story, spread out thinly to make a novel. The repeated attacks on Kingshaw become monotonous and his terror seems dull and unappealing as it reduces him to two dimensions. The eventual ending is obvious from the beginning and there is nothing substantial to dissuade the reader/listener. The climax seems to occur about half way through the book, leaving the reader simply waiting for the resolution.
However, as character portraits, and as a depiction of the interactions of pre-teens, it is practically perfect. Certainly enough for 3 stars all on its own.

Powerful, cruel, heartbreaking and disturbing.
I first read this book as a 16 year old boy at school. It didn't really resonate with me but I knew that I would have been better off reading it as I matured. Susan Hill has an unbeatable skill of draining all hope out of the reader as she has done in many of her other books. Read it and let it stay with you. it will stay with you for a long time.

Beautiful depiction of cruelty and desperation.
I read this book about 15 years ago for school and decided to listen to it again during a storm. The book captures the maddening frustration of being a child around adults who cannot see you more than anything I can remember. the claustrophobic atmosphere and the mounting sense of desperation keep this a tense read, but I had forgotten how much tenderness there is in this book, too. That tenderness only makes everything about the story more painful. I think this is a beautiful book but certainly not something you'd read to cheer yourself up.
The narration was also fitting to the story and unobtrusive, which is what I look for in audiobook narration.
