Summary

If you like dark and compelling crime thrillers, then you’ll love the acclaimed DCI Yorke series. Three best-selling, high-octane serial killer thrillers in one pause-resisting box set!

"An explosive and visceral debut with the most terrifying of killers. Wes Markin is a new name to watch out for in crime fiction." (best-selling crime author Stephen Booth)

Book one: One Last Prayer for the Rays

The disappearance of a young boy. An investigation paved with depravity and death. Can DCI Michael Yorke survive with his body and soul intact?

With Yorke's small town in the grip of a destructive snowstorm, the relentless detective uncovers a missing boy’s connection to a deranged family, whose history is steeped in violence. But when all seems lost, Yorke refuses to give in, and journeys deep into the heart of this sinister family for the truth.

And what he discovers there will tear his world apart.

The Rays are here. It's time to start praying.

Praise for One Last Prayer for the Rays:

"A pool of blood, an abduction, swirling blizzards, a haunting mystery, yes, Wes Markin’s One Last Prayer for the Rays has all the makings of an absorbing thriller. I recommend that you give it a go." (best-selling author Alan Gibbons)

Book two: The Repenting Serpent

A vicious serial killer slithers from the darkness, determined to resurrect the ways of a long-dead civilization.

When the ex-wife of one of DCI Michael Yorke’s closest allies is left mutilated and murdered, Yorke and his team embark on their greatest test yet. A deeply personal case that will push them to their very limits.

And as Yorke’s team are pulled further into the dark, the killer circles, preparing to strike again.

Book three: The Silence of Severance

Your wedding day should be the most unforgettable day of your life. And this is one wedding that will never be forgotten.

When a police officer’s wedding day ends in brutality and chaos, DCI Michael Yorke is pulled away from his own wedding and into the bloodiest chain of events Wiltshire has ever seen.

As a heatwave tightens its grip on Salisbury, Yorke and his team face a race against time to find the most sinister and intelligent adversary they have ever faced: Christian Severance. But as the team chase Severance into the shadows of a dark past, Yorke’s own history starts to drag itself into the present.

Can they stop Christian Severance before he achieves the unthinkable? And will Yorke survive the revelations that claw at him from the darkness?

Some the story lines appears to be fair-fect

I enjoyed the 1st 2 books but even the 2nd book became a little unbelievable.
The 3rd book continues to become more and more unbelievable, with police falling like flys.

Hit and miss.

I came to this series after listening to the Yorkshire Murders series, which is a spin off based around Emma Gardener. I have to say that I’m glad that I listened to those books first because I may have given up after this box set. The middle story was hard going and the other 2 stretched credulity somewhat. Having said that, I did enjoy those 2 despite Aubrey Parsons bizarre pronunciation of certain common English words; the most painful being ‘punctuated’ instead of ‘punctured’ when referring to someone’s lung injury! He does have a tendency to speak in quite an aggressive way, which made me feel like he was shouting at me. I’m guessing that these books were his first published novels because the quality of writing and storylines in the Yorkshire Murder series are much better. Still, I’ve enjoyed this box set enough to get box set 2.

An engaging listen

Book 1-3 in a series. Like other reviewers I really enjoyed books one and two but felt book 3 pushed the limits of credibility but not so bad that I won’t listen to the next box set!
Good narration

Loved it gritty and raw

Was enthralled to the end of this box set and quickly went into box set 2. I was so rooting for DCI Yorke and his colleagues every step of the way.
I was constantly egging them on much to my partner’s amusement (I had the earphones, so chatting out loud to the book didn’t help DCI Yorke one little bit.)
This is fantastic value for money
If you like mystery murder and suspense then this set is for you.
Really loved the narrator he has the unique gift of giving each character it’s own voice and personality.
I will definitely look at other books this chap has narrated.

Not for me

I love Aubrey Parsons narrations but some dubious pronunciations, Wiltshire hyperbole pronounce hyperbowl! I did persist to the end but will not read any more by this author - too gruesome and bizarre storylines. Not for me, sorry
