1979

Katie Leung’s narration is nothing short of exceptional in ‘1979.’ Her ability to shift seamlessly between Allie’s investigative drive and the chilling characters she encounters adds depth and realism. The story is packed with intrigue, but the pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, with some sections moving faster than others. This mismatch occasionally disrupts the flow, but it ultimately serves to heighten the suspense. McDermid’s vivid portrayal of 1970s Glasgow makes every scene both believable and hauntingly atmospheric. The audiobook is a must-listen for fans of noir and crime fiction who appreciate complex narratives and well-crafted characters.
