Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Juanita McMahon's performance is a standout in 'Fingersmith,' her voice perfectly capturing the era's wit and worldliness. The narrative unfolds at just the right pace, with each character's motives and desires layered meticulously. However, some listeners might find the resolution too rushed, leaving certain plot threads untied. Despite this minor flaw, the audiobook remains a thrilling listen, offering a vivid depiction of Victorian London and its underbelly. It's a must-listen for fans of LGBTQ+ literature and historical fiction.
