"Time to party, Nicky boy."
A psychological thriller told in the first person present by Nick Day, a trader in the financial market of 2017, who would be enjoying a comfortable living were it not for his erstwhile college friend, Mark Night. Because Mark is blackmailing him, even increasing the pressure, over criminal activities from long ago. Then the photographs start appearing on Nick's mobile phone, texts without a sender's name, photos that could not have been taken ...
Set mostly in London and Brighton, this story is engaging and entertaining. Alhough it never quite manages to feel believable, it poses an intriguing mystery for both the main protagonist, Nick, and the reader. Who is it that is threatening him, how, and why? With everything viewed from inside Nick's head, the desperation which evolves is tangible and none of the characters, with the possible exception of his recently found father and step mother, are sympathetic, nor are they fully developed. Even Nick himself is only partially presented as a three dimensional, living person - but extreme tension can certainly narrow perspectives. The excellent performance by narrator, James Meunier helps to give filled depths to the various protagonists, each given their own distinctive voices, and his pleasant sounding English accented voice reads the text with understanding and good modulation. A real pleasure to hear.
My thanks to the rights holder of Sour Blood for freely gifting me with a complimentary copy via Audiobook Boom, at my request. This was an enjoyable, somewhat twisted thriller, perhaps a little formulaic, but very entertaining never the less, and recommended to anyone looking for an untaxing but interesting psychological mystery thriller.

The writing was engaging!
This fast paced thriller was good because it was multidimensional with characters that were fully developed and explored through the story. So often, thrillers are peopled by cookie cutter characters and purposefully vague storytelling. Elizabeth Hamilton-Smyth does a good job telling a story that holds the interest and for the most part is believable. There were just a few bits that stretched my suspension of disbelief--but not enough to cause me to stop listening.
To me, the narration was good. The writing was engaging!

Great thriller audiobook!
I have been amazed by its plot, really gripping, intriguing, and full of unexpected facts.
The story lasts more than six hours but actually seemed minutes in my mind!
It has been a pleasure following Nick in his "adventures", and I am keep thinking about the whole story; I think it is a good fact to point out - it emphasizes how much I liked! - isn't it ?!
I usually read this type of book, but well ... you can't cope with a well narrated and hight quality audiobook!
Thumbs-up for this impressive thriller!

A complex thriller
A great listen, involving present day financial fraud, a Mancunian hit man, and a lot of money. Well plotted with plenty of suspense, and vicious twist at the end. Definitely worth listening to, and very well narrated.
