Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Listening to 'By the Neck' is like being on a wild ride through the untamed frontier. Jack Garrett's narration is a standout feature, his voice perfectly capturing the rough-and-tumble world of the mining town. He expertly handles the diverse cast of characters, each with their own distinct voice and motivations. The story moves at a breakneck pace, with Johnstone masterfully balancing action sequences and intricate plot twists. However, some of the dialogue can feel a bit too on-the-nose at times, with characters occasionally stating the obvious. But this is a minor quibble in an otherwise thrilling audiobook that's perfect for fans of gritty Westerns and action-packed adventures.
