As DCI Frank Homes of the Norfolk Constabulary investigates a murder, he experiences terrifying visions of a ghostly black dog. But is the dog real?
Accidents happen, suspects pile up, and with each passing day, the case and life gets weirder and stranger. Frank's detective instincts kick in even though he feels he is losing his tenuous grip on reality....something is amiss, horribly so.
Black Dog fuses the crime and horror genres in a super-uncanny tale of thrilling action and heart-stopping mystery.

Starting out with a gloomy, moody setting, this police procedural features DI Frank Holmes of the Norfolk Constabulary. DI Holmes and his team are called out to investigate the murder of a young girl, but Frank's investigation takes a weird turn when he starts seeing The Black Dog, complete with glowing red eyes! DI Holmes, a man who has both feet firmly planted in the mundane world, keeps trying to come up with rational explanations... but, when his rational brain fails to satisfactorily explain the situation for him he finally goes to the internet for help... and discoverers that Norfolk, and its surrounding area has a Black Dog mythos of almost celebrity status... Old Shuck! But just what is Old Shuck up to? Why does Frank keep seeing him? Does it tie into the case, or is it just a freakish coincidence?
Aubrey Parsons did a really fine job narrating this tale of the mundane and the mythic, for us!
This book was a bit of a homage to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Hound of the Baskerville's... And, if you like a book that's got a foot firmly planted on the wild side, you will definitely want to add this to your collection!
Take a step into the wild side, and go get this...

First and foremost, lets get this out of the way. Aubrey Parsons is an amazing Narrator. This guy will be perfect for thriller and mystery novels! My only gripe with this audiobook is that the editing is cut too thin for a good chunk of the book. I would recommend to work on pacing a bit better to reflect the tone of whats going on for the story. Let the listeners digest the more intense moments and don't rush through scenes like its a race. Cut your edits to reflect this and you'll NAIL it!
The story was very well written. Simon Corbin did a great job keeping me interested in the variety of characters introduced in the story. It felt like a good chunk of the characters were fleshed out very well. I won't spoil any of the story at all, but I wished the scenes in the early-to-mid sections of the book had a bit more of a goal for the "Black Dog". It felt like it was a plot device rather than something that had a reason for appearing at those specific times.
In short, this is a great audiobook. I would highly recommend this to anyone!
A hidden gem of an audiobook

My favourite character has to Spider the dog, my least favourite character was most definitely DCI Frank Homes, he comes accross as loud and obnoxious but he's entertaining, no doubt about that. I did think at first that he'd been transferred to Norfolk from somewhere in Essex but it seems not, it's just an accident of accents.
Aubrey Parsons does a great job with the narration.
I received a review copy free of charge in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. Which is what you see here.
A good solid police procedural
