About this listen
A sweeping coming-of-age tale, an epic love story and a searing thriller, all unfolding on a vast canvas.
There is a moment when childhood ends.
For Joseph 'Patch' Macauley and Saint Brown, it comes late one summer as Patch is abducted from their hometown. Devastated, Saint devotes her days to finding her best friend.
Held in total darkness, Patch is hopeless and alone - until he feels a hand in his. Though he never sees the girl, they fall in love. When he escapes, he's left with only her voice and name - and promises to spend the rest of his life searching for her.
As Saint's heart breaks for the boy she lost - and the man he becomes - she will shadow his journey, to uncover the truth behind who took him.
Over a lifetime driven by obsession, Patch and Saint must sacrifice everything for redemption, justice, and, ultimately, love - even if that means losing each other forever ...

PRAISE FOR ALL THE COLOURS OF THE DARK:
'Impeccably crafted, deeply emotional, entirely shattering. I was captivated from page one.'
BONNIE GARMUS, author of LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY
'Chris Whitaker's latest novel is a book to lose yourself in... this sprawling crime novel transcends its genre to become something epic in scope, haunting and ultimately deeply moving. A huge achievement.'
ALEX MICHAELIDES, author of THE SILENT PATIENT
'ALL THE COLOURS OF THE DARK is epic in every sense of the word: time, scope, skill, and love. It's a crime novel with a huge beating heart and some of the best characters I've ever passed my time with.'
ABIGAIL DEAN, author of GIRL A
'Taut, beguiling , and suspenseful, ALL THE COLOURS OF THE DARK reveals the depth of a town's loss when a young boy goes missing'
NITA PROSE, author of THE MAID
'Engrossing, heart-breaking and uplifting in equal measure - I've never read anything quite like it. This book will stay with you for a very long time.'
LUCY FOLEY, author of THE PARIS APARTMENT
'This book hits like a sledgehammer. Equal parts harrowing and triumphant, Chris Whitaker's novel is a haunting story of America, alternating between its twin strands of violence and love. I couldn't put it down, and will always remember that 13 year old pirate, Patch, and that brilliant little beekeeper, Saint. An absolutely must-read novel.'
GILLIAN FLYNN, author of GONE GIRL©2024 Chris Whitaker (P)2024 Orion Publishing Group Limited

Flawless. Beautifully written.
I haven’t read a book this gripping and beautiful in years and years.
Also have never read a book where serial killers are involved that has so flawlessly left the disgusting details out of the story. So don’t let that topic put you off, it’s something quite secondary to the story, and wow, I’m just genuinely impressed by the entire story, the weaving of tales, the surprise endings, the dignity afforded the characters, the poetry. Also was beautifully read.

Audio tricky
It may be a personal preference however I cannot follow this voice actor - I tried slowing it down but the tone of his voice was difficult. I will read the book as i am intrigued

This one will stay with me.
Beautifully written prose. It is essentially the story of the strength that it takes to hold onto hope in unfathomable darkness. What I liked most about this book is its focus on those who have the courage to stand up to evil. The deaths of the girls and the life of the depraved monster who killed them - those are only roughly sketched so as not to give them centre stage. The spotlight is given to Saint and Patch - and their supporting cast - who spend their lives trying to alleviate pain and stop evil.

Warmth of storyline
This was truly an outstanding listen. The author moved you through the growth of characters and story with ease beautiful imagery and empathy. The narrator pitched everything to match the author’s vision. This will be one of my favorite and memorable listens.

What a story!
A little slow to start with but stick with it! A wonderful emotional rollercoaster with twists right until the end. This is truly one of my favourite reads (listens)
