An edge-of-your-seat crime thriller starts with a vicious stabbing of a pretty teenage girl and her boyfriend on a local bus. She happens to be the mayor's niece. It's the final straw for the community.

The police are desperate to get results and decide on a risky course of action involving undercover infiltration of the notorious Effingell Estate. Detective George Elms knows this hellish place extremely well, and his sharp investigative mind is put to work to solve the crime. The police are under immense media pressure and conveniently a local lowlife confesses to the attack. But George is not convinced. There are many layers of criminal and police motivation, and few people are what they seem.

It's a very good book. Though I must admit, and I do love the narrator, that I think his voice us a tad too old for this main character. But I'll accept it because I love his narration.

Great plot twist

A very enjoyable listen-
At first I thought “great scott how many characters am I supposed to know here?!?”, believing there were far too many to manage with any success or enjoyment. Yet as the story progressed, I became aware the expansive cast of characters not only made sense in the context of the story unfolding, but were actually necessary to lend credibility to the tightly woven plot.
The performance is truly spectacular. I highly recommend this series.

Outstanding

Gildart Jackson's narration led me to this title. At first, those familiar with Peter Grainger's series about D.C. Smith find themselves in familiar territory. Alas, Gallagher spends more time with his villains than with his main police protagonist, George Elms. The plotline has some potential, the 'good guy' characters much more; the villains are largely boring, rendered memorable only by Jackson's superbly orchestrated voice. For me, the book became more interesting somewhere around Chapter 30. This is the first Charlie Gallagher I have 'read.' Perhaps he never dives more deeply into character, preferring to develop plots with some surprising turns. The second book in the series may offer more, and as Bodily Harm ends in something of a cliffhanger, may be worth your investment.

Potential for Redemption?

This gripped me at the beginning and I listened to all 4, loving every minute. The narration adds to the story, he does an excellent job on all his readings.

Good story

I was interested in this series because of the narrator, rather than the author. Gildart Jackson does a superb job with Peter Grainger’s DC Smith series, and I was hoping to find something similar. Story plots that hinge on police corruption and present detectives as hunted more than hunter are not my favorite. But there is some promise here so I will try the next one and hope for greater depth and substance from the characters.

Good start, hope characters develop and strengthen.
