Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Steve Worsley delivers a powerhouse performance in ‘Close to the Bone.’ His ability to distinguish between characters with subtle inflections makes the dialogue feel natural yet intense. The first body chained to a stake sets an ominous tone that Worsley maintains throughout, making each scene pulse with tension. Paced perfectly, the audiobook races through plot points and slows when needed for psychological buildup. However, some might find the resolution too swift, leaving a hint of unsatisfied curiosity. This is an unmissable entry in MacBride’s series for fans of complex crime thrillers.
