**please note due to low rating I will not be leaving a public review for this book as I have not paid for it.**

Thanks so much for this book. I really struggled to get into this due to the narrator. For me the narrator absolutely killed this story. He was so over the top and painful to listen to. Due to this I'm not going to leave a public rating. I'm going to try this I'm the ebook format and give it another go.

This reads as a drama. While marked thriller,nothing overt happens. The first half is engaging. A beautiful love story between an elderly couple. And then the story falls apart. Illness brings one son home, then the other, both around 50 years old with dialogue of 10 year olds at best. There is a group of people attempting to abuse an elderly neighborhood. I still am stymied as to the genre thriller being attached. The war that is mentioned is a street fight.

Encouraged by the first half, the latter and subsequent ending were irrevocably disappointing.

Narrator Cody Roberts was okay. I suppose one can only be as good as the material given.

Thank you NetGalley and Tantor Audio for accepting my request to read and review Down the Dark Streets.

Down the Dark Streets by William W. Johnstone and J. A. Johnstone is a gripping listen. I was intrigued by the premise of the book, and know that greed is a huge motivator. The authors wrote vivid descriptions and I could envision many graphic details. Some of the details went too far for me and seemed unrealistic. Cody Roberts did a good job performing this book. He added the right emotions to his voice. I want to thank #NetGalley and #Tantor Audio for allowing me to listen to this pre-release audiobook. I really enjoyed it. Without giving away spoilers, the ending was great!
