About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of
Sirens by Joseph Knox, read by Lewys Taylor.

I stopped going to work. I went missing. We still live in a world where you can disappear if you want to. Or even if you don't.

Detective Aidan Waits is in trouble

After a career-ending mistake, he’s forced into a nightmare undercover operation that his superiors don’t expect him to survive.

Isabelle Rossiter has run away again

When the teenage daughter of a prominent MP joins Zain Carver, the enigmatic criminal who Waits is investigating, everything changes.

A single mother, missing for a decade

Carver is a mesmerising figure who lures young women into his orbit – young women who have a bad habit of disappearing. Soon Waits is cut loose by the police, stalked by an unseen killer and dangerously attracted to the wrong woman.

How can he save the girl, when he can’t even save himself?


‘Razor-sharp urban noir – very special indeed.’ – Lee Child

‘Thrilling, breathless stuff’ – Observer

‘Jumps straight into the top league of English noir.’ – The Times

Grim world

This is a well written and well read book. Just unrelentingly grim. Just not my thing. But I did listen right to the end.

Brilliant

Having read other reviews thought I'd give this a go, thoroughly enjoyed it. The narrator read it just right to give the character the right tone and mind set. Really empathise with the main character and was a little surprised by the end, pleasantly surprised though. Hopefully there will be another with same character.

Mancunian Noir...

A dark and gripping story in a bleak and gritty Manchester. British noir at its finest, hopefully it's the start of a series for DC Waits.

Manchester at its darkest...

This is very special indeed. Lewys Taylor gives an excellent performance. The book itself is one of the best crime novels I've read in a long time. A shockingly polished debut from a new and distinctive voice in crime fiction. It's exciting to know that Knox and Waits will be around for a long time and even more so that I'm going to take that journey with them. Remarkable

Sensational listen

Fairly new to this genre, but was gripped by this from start to finish. Can’t wait for the next one.

I didn’t care about the characters enough to make this gripping

I can’t say I didn’t enjoy this book, it was okay, but it didn’t seem to have highs and lows I expect from this genre of book, it just seemed to go at a steady pace with all these characters that I really didn’t find myself caring about. It would have been nice to have felt more connected to some of them.

I finished it...

It was grand. That's about the height of it.
The narrator's Australian accent is as good as mine. 😉
