About this listen

'Everything I love in a crime novel – passion, interesting and rooted characters and a great story' Ann Cleeves

Don't miss this award winning debut crime thriller set in Sheffield introducing DI Diana Walker: A grizzly murder has Diana questioning everything she knows, and secrets come to light that threaten to tear her world apart

Silence protects the victims… And the killer

When the dismembered body of a headmaster is found on the derelict site of a former school in Sheffield, DI Diana Walker finds herself chasing shadows.

Faced with missing teachers, unreported crimes and silent witnesses, Diana is running out of leads. Her colleagues insist this is just another instance of gang violence, but Diana knows there’s something more. Something everyone’s too scared to talk about.

With her reputation on the line, Diana is determined to find the truth. Her search for answers leads to Sheffield’s neglected underbelly, where she finds distrust, horrifying secrets and a whole new understanding of justice.

Critic Reviews

Fierce, unflinching and enthralling

(Simon Lelic)

A Day of the Roaring is a brilliant multi-layered mystery that cajoles us into some very dark places, but leaves us seeing our world with very fresh eyes. Anyone who doesn't believe that crime fiction can deal with hard stuff at the same time as keeping us totally entertained needs to read this

(William Shaw)

Nina Bhadreshwar's debut novel, The Day of the Roaring, impressed me with its vivid settings, intricate narrative, and exceptional details

(Kwei Jones Quartey)
