Chasing Boaz Manor

About This Audiobook

Leah McLaren’s *Chasing Boaz Manor* isn’t just another true-crime tale—it’s a razor-sharp dissection of privilege, deception, and the sheer brazenness of a woman who turned grifting into an art form. At its core, this is the story of Anna Delvey (later Anna Sorokin), the New York socialite who convinced banks, hotels, and the elite that she was heiress to a $60 million fortune. But McLaren’s reporting goes deeper than the headlines, exposing the rot in systems that reward performance over proof. The prose is sharp, the pacing relentless, and the moral ambiguity of Delvey’s tale lingers long after the last chapter. This audiobook is for readers who love their true crime with a side of intellectual bite, not just the lurid thrill of a con gone wrong.

Narrated by Serinda Swan (*Black Mirror: Bandersnatch*, *Inventing Anna*), this audiobook transforms what could’ve been a dry recitation of facts into something electric. Swan’s voice crackles with dry wit and barely contained skepticism, her delivery oscillating between admiration for Delvey’s audacity and outright disdain for the credulity of her victims. The pacing is brisk, the tone never sappy, and the production quality—clean, unobtrusive—lets the story shine. If you’ve ever wondered how someone could pull off a scam of this magnitude, McLaren’s meticulous reporting and Swan’s magnetic narration will have you hooked from the first minute.
