About This Audiobook

Cold Open is a gripping, no-nonsense crime thriller that dives headfirst into the grimy underbelly of Glasgow. Andrew Raymond's lean prose and tight plotting keep the tension high as DCI Lomond is dragged back into a case he'd rather forget. Angus King's narration is a perfect match, delivering a tough, world-weary Scottish accent that brings the gritty streets to life. What sets this audiobook apart is its unflinching exploration of the consequences of violence and the moral ambiguity of its characters.

Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Angus King's narration is the star of the show here. His DCI Lomond is a man worn down by years of seeing the worst of humanity, and King's gruff, weary voice captures this perfectly. The story moves at a steady pace, with Raymond expertly doling out clues and red herrings to keep you guessing. The production is minimalist, letting the story and performances take center stage. My only minor critique is that some of the supporting characters could have been more fully realized, but this is a small quibble in an otherwise excellent audiobook.
