About this listen
Shifting Skin - Killing them wasn't enough...
'The Butcher of Belle Vue' has struck again. Like the first two victims, the third has been partially skinned and dumped on waste ground. Only this time, her face has also been removed. Jon Spicer and his new partner, Rick Saville, are approached by a woman who insists she heard 'The Butcher' claiming his latest victim in the next-door room of a run-down hotel in Belle Vue. But all she has to back up her story is an Escort’s business card recovered from the empty room the following morning. Jon's investigation takes him into the twilight world of Manchester's sex workers and the unscrupulous cosmetic surgery industry, eventually forcing him to confront the potential for violence within every man - even within himself.

QUALITY!!!!
Ive never understood why DI Spicer books aren’t massively popular, this is British police procedural at its absolute best; strong regional base, gritty and intricate multi stranded plots, engaging and realistic central character and one that bizarrely for crime fiction actually seems like a realistic copper devoid of the cliches that proliferate in the genre (drink problem, difficult relationship with child, etc) there is a nice complementary sidekick. All in all a real quality piece of work by the author, I really hope he hasn’t abandoned DI Spicer. As for the reading, absolutely spot on! For me this is the British equivalent of Dick Hills reading of the Harry Bosch books, absolutely nails it!!!
C’mon Chris, we need more!!!

STRAIGHT INTO MY FAVOURITES
WOW!!! Throughly enjoyed, it’s such a good story, and even though I don’t usually choose crime books, I struggled to put it down.
Suspense and a twist too!
I’ve read a couple of other books by the author but this, his latest one, is my firm favourite.
Would recommend to anyone who loves a well told Crime story, especially if you have any connection to Manchester. Fabulous.

Another fantastically graphic and gruesome story by Chris Simms...
Not for the faint hearted, very graphic, brutal acts but if you do what I do - (fast forward) the gory bits it is a great story.
The Narrator did a great job in making us remember that it is all based in Manchester.

Didn't quite do it for me
I read the book some years back and enjoyed it so I decided to get it on Audible. This was a mistake, not that the narrator Dean Williamson wasn't any good, he was brilliant. I just couldn't get my head around the accent. It changed how I viewed the character D I Spicer.
But don't let my review stop you the reader from reading/Listening to this book. It could be right up your street.
