Daniel Hurst Audiobooks

Read the Daniel Hurst titles we hold in order and the whole proposition becomes clear. I Want Your Family comes first, then I Stole Your Family. Daniel Hurst writes psychological suspense in which the threat is never a stranger in an alley but somebody who has decided your life would suit them rather better than it suits you.

Both books belong to The Hunt Family sequence and sit across our crime and thriller and general fiction shelves. The machinery is entirely domestic: school runs, deliveries, neighbours, the small permissions we hand out daily without a second thought. The particular skill on display is escalation, moving from the plausible to the appalling in increments small enough that you never quite catch the line being crossed.

I Want Your Family opens the story across roughly eight hours, narrated by Helen Keeley. I Stole Your Family follows, a shade under seven hours in a reading by Clare Corbett, and it holds the higher rating with us at 4.6.

Start with I Want Your Family, since the later book depends on knowing precisely what was taken and from whom. Then keep the evening clear, because these are not stories that encourage an early night. They are waiting below.
