AudioBook Atlas

Paul Chan's narration is nothing short of remarkable; his deep, resonant voice perfectly captures the tension and drama of this gripping tale. The pacing is brisk, allowing you to immerse yourself in the fast-paced world of gangster Shanghai without ever feeling rushed. French’s writing is sharp and insightful, offering a nuanced view of these criminal entrepreneurs amidst the city's opulence. However, the narrative occasionally strays into overly technical details that might bore casual listeners. Overall, 'City of Devils' is a must-listen for fans of true crime and biographical narratives; it’s a testament to both French’s and Chan’s abilities.
