Publisher's Summary
Penguin presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of No Name Lane by Howard Linskey, read by David Leon.
The hunt for a serial killer unearths an unsolved cold case from over 60 years ago. Young girls are being abducted and murdered in the Northeast. Out of favour detective constable Ian Bradshaw struggles to find any leads - and fears that the only thing this investigation will unravel is himself.
Journalist Tom Carney is suspended by his London tabloid and returns to his home village in County Durham. Helen Norton is the reporter who replaced Tom on the local newspaper. Together they are drawn into a case that will change their lives forever.
When a body is found, it's not the latest victim but a decades-old corpse. Secrets buried for years are waiting to be found while in the present day, an unstoppable killer continues to evade justice....
Critic Reviews
"This is lacerating fare that makes most current crime fiction look like thin gruel." ( Financial Times)
"Linskey has elevated this story to a level of complexity and humanity seldom approached by British writers previously.... A new name on our criminal horizon." (Maxim Jakubowski)
"Gripping and convincing." (Kimberley Chambers)
"Brilliant.... This is first class stuff, an unstoppable tale, a real page-turner not to be missed." (Sarah Broadhurst)
"Serial killer thrillers don't come much better than this. Old secrets and terrible new crimes woven into an immensely satisfying, utterly compelling narrative which keeps you constantly guessing. Fans of Linskey's critically acclaimed David Blake series will already know what an outstanding author he is, everyone else...prepare to add another name to your must-read list." (Eva Dolan)
"Linskey weaves together a compelling and twisty tale that gripped me from page one. If you like Val McDermid's thrillers, you'll love this." (Mark Edwards)
"A new master of the gripping, gritty thriller. Howard Linskey takes you right to the heart of it." (Paul Finch)
"Howard Linskey is one of crime fiction's best-kept secrets. An exciting and intelligent writer with a sure eye for plot. Discover him before others do." (Stav Sherez)

Interesting plots intertwined
Once you get use to the narrator the listener can settle in for an interesting ride. More that one storyline makes for a more satisfying experience- I liked this so much, I immediately downloaded another offering by the same author. There was one section that was overly verbose which I fast forwarded thru (a first for me) but that did not detract from the fact that this was a great read.

Awful Narrator
This is a great story but the reading was terrible. The reader sounded like he was half asleep all through it - and sleep was what I wanted to do while listening to this. His words all ran together, it was difficult to understand who was saying what, and the emphasis in places was confusing or just plain missing. The story was fabulous though, so what a shame! If you can concentrate long enough and hard enough to follow what is going on it is worth the listen. I notice the following books in the series are narrated by someone else, so I will be listening to them next. If it had been the same reader though I would, sadly for the author, have to have given them a miss.

Very enjoyable
A good old fashioned detective story. Great narration except for no breaks between chapters.
Good stories and quite exciting at times.

Takes a while but sucked in.
Narrator starts out a bit flat with a story that sounds clichéd but gradually the depth of characters and the intriguing period (not so long ago) hooked my interest in wanting to know more.
A good book that's set in an interesting time and place if you like the English TV murder mystery and it's pace.

Multiple interconnected, gripping storylines
This was an excellent audiobook. Great narration with multiple inter-weaving storylines that came together nicely through interesting, well-developed characters and relationships. Delightful find!
