Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

William DeMeritt brings 'Black Mountain' to life with his impeccable pacing and nuanced performance, making each pause and sigh resonate deeply. The tension builds relentlessly as Isaiah navigates the murky waters of his past. However, at times, the narrative density can make it difficult to follow all the subtle clues. Despite this, Barron's vivid descriptions of New York’s haunting landscapes keep the story grounded. Overall, 'Black Mountain' is a must-listen for fans of dark mystery and intense thriller narratives, offering a compelling blend of psychological depth and high-stakes action.
