Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Ron Butler's narration is a standout feature of this audiobook. His ability to capture the essence of each character, from the smooth-talking impresario to the steely-eyed detective, is nothing short of impressive. The pacing is spot-on, building tension like a master craftsman, and the production values are top-notch. Hambly's use of the Othello play within the story is a clever and distinctive touch, adding depth and complexity to the plot. However, some of the historical details can feel a bit dense at times, slowing the narrative's momentum. Overall, though, Die Upon a Kiss is a captivating listen that's perfect for fans of historical thrillers who don't mind a bit of literary depth.
