About this listen

In sleepy, rural North Wales, Frankie Gibbs, an aimless 20-year-old on universal credit and recently laid off, wants nothing more than to keep his younger brother out of the care system. He takes this upon himself while their alcoholic, cocaine-addicted, single-parent father, Guy Gibbs, heaps misery on their lives through systematic abuse and his never-ending wild parties. After Guy is sent to prison, Frankie is coerced into opening his home to Justin, an acquaintance from his school days who has become a drug dealer, while his own addictions and self-worth spiral beyond recognition.

One Visit is an astonishing debut. It's raw, shocking, disturbing, insightful, and dark from start to finish. There are flashes of wit but, in the main, it's a full-frontal assault with the truth of physical, psychological, social, and political deterioration in a beautiful part of Wales.

Gritty British Crime Drama

This book does not let up from start to finish with a steady delivery of violence, abuse, and drugs. The vivid and descriptive drug scenes, which are plentiful, felt like either a firsthand account or a really well researched one. I found the quality of the writing excellent. The characters and scenes felt very real, which is a testament to good writing. Despite this, I found that I couldn’t really get into the story except for a few graphic scenes that I couldn’t ignore in the same way a car crash can’t be ignored. I listened to the audiobook format and found the narration to be good at times, especially the narrator, Hannah Price. There were also some male voices for the dialogue scenes, but some audio during the male scenes got a little too echoey at times and the volume wasn’t consistent. All in all, this is a good book for those who are interested in gritty British crime dramas.
