Editor's Review ★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I was drawn into 'A Corpse in the Koryo' by its thoughtful pacing and the richly detailed world-building. Feodor Chin's narration is superb, bringing a sense of gravitas to the protagonist, Inspector O. The way Chin handles the character's inner monologues and interactions with others is particularly noteworthy. One aspect that felt slightly underdeveloped was the supporting cast, whose characterization sometimes felt a bit one-dimensional. Nonetheless, the story's intricate plot and the insights it offers into North Korean culture make for a compelling listen. The production quality is high, with clear and well-balanced sound. My only critique is that some of the plot twists, while surprising, felt a tad predictable in hindsight. Overall, 'A Corpse in the Koryo' is a well-crafted mystery that fans of the genre will appreciate.
