About this listen
A full-cast, unabridged production of Cry Baby, the gripping prequel to Mark Billingham's acclaimed debut, Sleepyhead. Starring David Morrissey, Robert Glenister and a full cast of actors, with the narrator played by Mark Billingham.
Cry Baby is the shocking first case for one of British crime fiction's most iconic detectives.
It's 1996. Detective Sergeant Tom Thorne is a haunted man. Haunted by the moment he ignored his instinct about a suspect, by the horrific crime that followed and by the memories that come day and night, in sunshine and shadow.
So when seven-year-old Kieron Coyne goes missing while playing in the woods with his best friend, Thorne vows he will not make the same mistake again. Cannot.
The solitary witness. The strange neighbour. The friendly teacher. All are in Thorne's sights.
This case will be the making of him...or the breaking.
Full cast list: Mark Billingham, David Morrissey, Robert Glenister, Candida Gubbins, Nathalie Buscombe, Mandy Weston, Rachel Atkins, Rupert Farley, Homer Todiwala, Nigel Pilkington, David John, Will Kelly, Glen McCready, Bhavnisha Parmar, Henley Ingall, Luke Stoneham.

"Cry Baby is the perfect prequel to send us back to revel in Tom Thorne's 20 years. As if we needed reminding how good Mark Billingham is." (Val McDermid)
"Tom Thorne is one of the most credible and engaging heroes in contemporary crime fiction. Mark Billingham is a master of psychology, plotting and the contemporary scene - making the Thorne novels the complete package. Twenty years in and better than ever." (Ian Rankin)
"Billingham is always a must [listen]." (Harlan Coben)

wonderful full cast reading!
Great 'full cast' presentation -- David Morrissey's voicing of Thorne is sublime...:)
This was my first Billingham novel. Love Tom Thorne. The story has a nice twist -- but it's definitely character-driven rather than complex plotting. Really pleased to discover this series.

Engrossing & Enthralling!
What a fabulous read! Kept me guessing until the end. Full cast narration was terrific. I think I’ve found my new favourite author of this genre.

Engrossing
finished the book in two sittings. I was a little confused with the characters during the last couple of chapters and had to re-read but enjoyed it over all.

An interesting story, wonderful cast performance
I have watched some of this series and enjoyed this book. Whenever there is a full cast, it is always worth listening, it is such a wonderful experience to listen to them bring the book to life.
The storyline is interesting. It's easy to engage with the fears and pain of these characters and imagine the scenario. I found some of the story a little confusing towards the end. I will no doubt listen to this again a few times and will get more and more out of it.
