Description
Bloomsbury presents Turning Blue by Benjamin Myers, read by Andrew Macintosh.
‘Ben Myers is the master of English rural noir, and with Turning Blue, he has created a whole new genre: folk crime … this is by turns gripping, ghastly and unputdownable’ PAUL KINGSNORTH
In the depths of winter in an isolated Yorkshire hamlet, a teenage girl, Melanie Muncy, is missing.
The elite detective unit Cold Storage dispatches its best man to investigate. DI Jim Brindle may be obsessive, taciturn and solitary, but nobody on the force is more relentless in pursuing justice. Local journalist Roddy Mace has sacrificed a high-flying career as a reporter in London to take up a role with the local newspaper. For him the Muncy case offers the chance of redemption.
Darker forces are at work than either man has realized. On a farm high above the hamlet, Steven Rutter, a destitute loner, harbours secrets that will shock even the hardened Brindle. Nobody knows the bleak moors and their hiding places better than him.
As Brindle and Mace begin to prise the secrets of the case from the tight-lipped locals, their investigation leads first to the pillars of the community and finally to a local celebrity who has his own hiding places, and his own dark tastes.

"As good as anything being written in Britain today." (Horatio Clare)
"A powerful novel by a writer who has found his subject and the voice that best expresses it … He could be Yorkshire’s Iain Sinclair as well as its Cormac McCarthy." (Bookmunch)

Poor pacing
The “reveal” gets dragged out in a way that feels almost like multiple drafts were edited together and not re-read. Characters are told facts, then told them again multiple chapters later, and react like this is news. “Are you telling me,” they say, “[thing that the reader has been told multiple times from different perspectives]?” It makes the end drag, when the author is not detailing gore in a way that is pretty off putting. The second book in this series is better and less gruesome, and can be listened to without the context of the first.
