The Sixth Precept

The Dark Yorkshire Crime Thrillers, Book 6

De: J M Dalgliesh

Narrado por: Greg Patmore

A serial-killer thriller from the acclaimed author of the number one best-selling Dark Yorkshire Series.

A killer stalks his prey. The five precepts are laid down. The sixth will be his own....

DI Nathaniel Caslin has earned the freedom to run his case load as he sees fit, bypassing the hierarchical constraints with his specialist unit. Little does he know a deadly adversary is walking the streets of York. One who will push the team to their psychological limits...

Reluctantly agreeing to a joint investigation alongside a detective from the Drug Squad, Caslin is perplexed by the multiple homicides of a number of addicts. Poisoned by their own supply with no apparent motive, the killings appear gang related. The crime scene is filthy and forbidding with each victim having the index finger removed from their right hand after death. A planned mutilation? A trophy? Strategically placed among the dead is a blooming pink flower, the only beauty within a dark, macabre scene.

When a bank employee vanishes only to be found dead at the hands of a medieval stoning, Caslin's team are left with a puzzle to unpick. An index finger is missing and inside the victim's mouth, carefully placed and undamaged, are the petals of a small pink flower...

A serial killer is on a mission. Caslin must reach into the darkness in order to confront the most dangerous and determined killer of the age. One who seeks to build a monument to his efforts. One who desires to see the world perish in flames...

Terrifying, thrilling, and suspenseful, The Sixth Precept is the latest installment in the internationally best-selling series by crime writer J M Dalgliesh.

excellent read

loved this book. My favourite of all those I have read in the series.

Always a great and exciting read

Psychological twists… Very very much… Did not however enjoy the increasing and graphic violence. It’s unnecessary. He’s a good writer who tells a good story… And consistently so. It’s character development continues with the complexities of human nature as an added bonus. The graphic brutality is simply unnecessary.

Great Mystery Series. Don't Miss It!

Loved the series. Very much liked the dectective.. Read until I'm too tired to think of any thing cute to say except the narrator is fantastic and I certainly continue to listing to read and listen to their books.¹

So what happens next???

This is no way to end the series! I Feel cheated. Sorry I even read this last one.

Want more

Great series. The reader is wonderful ! Have t!old many of my friends about these books.

Characters have great depth.

The story and most of the performance was outstanding. I do struggle with the male voices when women’s parts are being read. They just don’t seem authentic.

protracted lesson on Buddhism

authors across the board are anti-religeous. this book was a boring and protracted rant via a character on Buddhism. unimaginative writing.
