Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Tim Gerard Reynolds delivers a warm and engaging performance in 'Big Italy,' his Italian accent lending authenticity to the Tuscany setting. The story follows Commissario Trotti’s unexpected return to rural life, filled with picturesque views and delightful characters like Fabrizio Bassi. However, the plot sometimes drags as it introduces too many subplots, which can feel distracting. Despite its flaws, 'Big Italy' remains a pleasant listen for those who enjoy cozy mysteries set against a beautifully detailed backdrop of Italian countryside.
