A single character carved into a nearby tree.

Can't listen. Errors in narration!
What disappointed you about The Cleansing?
The narration had errors- misread words . Never had this in an Audible book before. Constant use of " toxology" instead of " toxicology" ( I'm assuming the author did use the correct word? ) , also endomorphin ( what's that then - you mean endorphin), calomile tea instead of camomile and the final straw - a grand place described as like an Italian pizza rather than piazza- I'm sure I didn't mishear it.
There were others that didn't stick in the mind so much.
I assume there are always errors in a narration and they are edited ? Not sure why this wasn't.
What was most disappointing about Bill Rogers’s story?
Clunky. Good knowledge of Manchester but im not sure really if that mattered to the story ( maybe if I'd managed to get to the end?) Returned for refund at chapter 12 because of errors in narration that I just couldn't stand to be honest.
Would you be willing to try another one of Michael Troughton’s performances?
No..... Well maybe if he had some editing to cut out errors!

Gripped and transported...
Would you consider the audio edition of The Cleansing to be better than the print version?
I have not read the print version (yet). I was recommended this story by a friend, and glad I listened to the audio version, it was refreshing to have the characters brought to life so skilfully.
What did you like best about this story?
I was not familiar with Bill Rogers before The Cleansing, but love crime thrillers and glad to have taken up a friend's recommendation. His characters work for me, the story has teeth, his knowledge and heart shines through...and for someone who lived in Manchester for just under 10 years (and loved it), personally it was wonderful to be transported back to the places and areas I was familiar with.
What about Michael Troughton’s performance did you like?
Where to start? Everything. I'm very familiar with Michael Troughton's body of work, on screen as well as audio, and he has a wonderful way of bringing characters to life, as in this story. He not only doesn't disappoint, he surpasses. His own even inimitable dulcet tones, acting experience, as well as his unerring capacity of breathing genuine life into so many different characters, and producing this work, made this a wonderful powerhouse of narration as well as a rewarding listening experience.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes it was, but my lifestyle doesn't allow for that, so after an initial 3 hour sitting had to be done in sessions.
Any additional comments?
Overall, good story, strong narration, looking forward to the next in the series of Inspector Caton and trusty sidekick Holmes.(On a related side note, I feel one of the long reviews below overly harsh. As has been mentioned by another reviewer, audiobook narration can be very subjective, so what may work for one person may not be the cup of tea of another, which can be reviewed politely and objectively, as a constructive critique to help others...each to their own of course. I certainly enjoyed it.)

Dreary
I just couldn't get to grips with this story at all - it's slow, boring, easy to lose your place because of the tedium. I didn't enjoy it at all. Narration was good and that is about it. I've listened to far better detective stories - this one is a poor show.

Clunky dialogue
Really quite poor. The writing very clunky with unconvincing dialogue, police officers explaining basic procedure to each other and a senior detective who is not familiar with the use of the word ‘driver’ in the sense of ‘force’ or influence’. At one point an officer asks why operating theatres are so called, the response is like an extract from Wikipedia – no one speaks like that…
The main character is repeatedly described as being very PC, but still wonders why another officer chose to join the police when ‘she could have been a model’. Quite bizarre.

A Twee detective novel with an interesting plot
What would have made The Cleansing better?
Leaving out the continuing PC references. It reads as a collaboration between the Manchester tourist board and Haringey city council circa 1980, edited by the Equality and Human Rights Commission. Oh and lots of good driving tips!
Would you be willing to try another book from Bill Rogers? Why or why not?
No - clearly this is the authors style, so not for me
Which character – as performed by Michael Troughton – was your favourite?
None particularly
Any additional comments?
Well read by Michael Troughton who made the rendition better that it really was

Rather dull
The story started off quite well, and with a reasonably new theme but couldn't keep up tension. Michael Troughton has a nice voice, but the dialogue didn't help him. The plot slows and falters somewhat, and A rather formulaic sex scene didn't add to the story. Aa I am reaching chapter 24 of 29, I am not enamoured of the author and unlikely to listen again

9 hours 15mins of my life I will never get back….
What disappointed you about The Cleansing?
EVERYTHING!
What could Bill Rogers have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Not written it in the first place.
What didn’t you like about Michael Troughton’s performance?
One of the worst narrations EVER!
You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?
It has convinced me to buy audio books a little more carefully in future.
Any additional comments?
Dreadful narration, poor story, unrealistic characters, strong beginning, dull middle and rubbish ending…. I can’t believe I actually got through the whole thing without sticking knitting needles into my eyes. If it hadn’t been a special offer I would have asked for my money back…..

Great!
Loved it. Story was compelling and couldn't wait to hear the end. Narrator was amazing. Love how he changed his voice for each character.
