A Tapping at My Door by David Jackson

4.0

This is the first in a series about yet another psychologically "damaged" police officer. In this first novel, readers don't wonder if DS Cody will survive because of course this is going to be a series so he has to. The setting is Liverpool, and a series of murders of police officers is the focus. DS Cody is, of course, a renegade and reckless. There is a gruesome torture scene later in the book, which reminded me of my avoidance of male-authored crime novels which seem to do this more often than female-authored books.
The audiobook narration had some minuses. The female voices by this narrator were pretty awful. I had a feeling that the Liverpool accents weren't quite right, but my only reference point is the Beatles.
But overall the narration and the story propel the reader to a climatic ending, making this a worthwhile read.
