Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Caroline Guthrie’s voice is nothing short of magical in this captivating audiobook. Her portrayal of Alison Maxwell is particularly standout—her tone perfectly captures the journalist's charisma and complexity. The pacing keeps you on edge, especially during the tense scenes where Gordon pieces together clues. However, the production occasionally struggles with background noise that distracts from the storytelling. Despite this minor flaw, 'Final Edition' remains a must-listen for fans of mystery and LGBTQ+ narratives. McDermid’s narrative skill is evident in every twist, making it impossible to predict the outcome.
