Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Jackie Schlicher’s voice is the perfect fit for 'Black in Blue,' capturing Best's determined yet empathetic tone with precision. The pacing feels natural, allowing listeners to absorb the heavy themes without feeling rushed. What stands out are the detailed accounts of Best’s challenges—both internal and external—that make this not just a leadership story but a deeply personal one. However, some sections could benefit from more context on current events, which might help newer readers fully grasp the broader implications of her work.
