Publisher's Summary
*Please note this audiobook contains explicit language.
Jeanette Garland, missing Castleford, July 1969. Susan Ridyard, missing Rochdale, March 1972. Claire Kemplay, missing Morley, since yesterday. It’s winter, 1974, Yorkshire, Christmas bombs, Lord Lucan on the run, the Bay City Rollers, and Eddie Dunford’s got the job he wanted – crime correspondent for the Yorkshire Evening Post. He didn’t know it was going to be a season in hell. A dead little girl with a swan’s wings stitched into her back. A gypsy camp in a ring of fire. Corruption everywhere you look.
In Nineteen Seventy Four, David Peace brings passion and stylistic bravado to this terrifyingly intense journey into a secret history of sexual obsession and greed, and starts a highly acclaimed crime series that has redefined how the genre is approached.
David Peace (born 1967) is an English author. He was named one of the Best of Young British Novelists by Granta in 2003 and won the 2004 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for Fiction. He is also known for his novels GB84 and The Damned United; the latter was made into a feature film starring Michael Sheen.

As gritty as a carney with a mouth full of glass
I couldn't put this book down. When you get used to the Yorkshire accent/dialect and the unique rhythm David Peace writes at you are in for a brutal and entirely gripping ride with certain twists every couple of chapters. I couldn't watch Netflix after finishing this book, nothing is as good. I think what makes this book even more amazing is the narration from Saul Reichlin, he nails it, it was as if he was living the storyline for himself. This book is very confronting at times, but as Peace mentions in the bonus interview at the end of the audiobook, it's meant to disturb you, this kind of stuff really does happen in real life, its not pretty but books like this may give us a better understanding and create a way to stop these atrocities from continuing in the future.

too much
I guess it being 'too much' translates to David hitting hard and achieving the impact he desired. For me, the expletives came too frequently. I'm no prude, but it was too much. Also, Saul's voice was too gritty.
