About This Audiobook

Code Orange is a gritty, fast-paced mystery that drops listeners into the heart of New York City as it struggles to rebuild after 9/11. Caroline B. Cooney's masterful storytelling weaves together the lives of several young protagonists, each with their own secrets and motivations. Jeremy Beck's engaging narration brings these characters to life, his tone and pace perfectly calibrated to match the story's breakneck momentum. As the mystery unfolds, Beck's performance becomes increasingly intense, mirroring the growing sense of danger and unease that pervades the narrative. A standout feature of this audiobook is its use of sound design, which effectively immerses listeners in the city's soundscape, from honking horns to chatter on street corners.

Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

As I listened to Code Orange, I was struck by the way the story seemed to spring to life beneath my ears. Jeremy Beck's narration is a key part of this, his dry wit and subtle emotional range bringing depth to even the most minor characters. Cooney's narrative is a tightly wound machine, hurtling towards its explosive climax with a relentless energy that's both thrilling and exhausting. Where the story sometimes falters is in its secondary characters, who feel somewhat one-dimensional compared to the main cast. However, this minor quibble is easily forgotten in the face of the audiobook's many strengths. Overall, Code Orange is a gripping, immersive listen that's sure to appeal to fans of teen thrillers and mystery enthusiasts.
