Promotional Information

East of Innocence is a fast-paced, hard-edged thriller set in Essex ‒ out east, beyond London, and way outside the law.

About the Author

David Thorne studied English Literature at Queen Mary's in London before working in advertising, writing ads for the press, TV and radio.
He has also written comedy sketches, gags and scripts for the BBC, Channel Four. Rupert Degas is a prolific audiobook narrator with decades of experience narrating audiobooks, with some 300 titles to his credit. His extensive catalogue showcases his remarkable ability to bring different characters to life with his voice. He has received particular critical acclaim for his performances of The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man’s Fear by Patrick Rothfuss and for Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy.

In 2022 Rupert was inducted as a Golden Voice by AudioFile Magazine. What is a Golden Voice? According to AudioFile, 'a Golden Voice narrator exemplifies the very best in audiobook talent, and AudioFile bestows the highest honour in audiobook narration on voice artists who have made significant contributions to the audiobook art form'. Since 1992 AudioFile has given this lifetime achievement honour to just 38 audiobook narrators including Miriam Margolyes, Jim Dale, Martin Jarvis, and Derek Jacobi. Great company indeed!

In addition to audiobooks Rupert has provided voices for more than 30 animated films and series including Bob the Builder, The Amazing World of Gumball, Thomas & Friends and The Wild Adventures of Blinky Bill. Rupert has performed in many radio series and video games, as well as voicing thousands of commercials and promos. He also sometimes appears on film, TV and stage, most notably in the original London productions of Stones in His Pockets and The 39 Steps – for which he and the team won the 2007 Olivier Award for Best Comedy.

Reviews

'Narrator Rupert Degas hits ace after ace with his portrait of Daniel Connell, who was recently fired from his law firm for having more integrity than self-control ... Hard-bitten characters can be played in a two-dimensional fashion, but Degas takes Connell to nearly a fourth dimension with his impeccable timing and emotional range.'
