Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Martin Jarvis and Anna Burnett’s stellar performances elevate 'Dark Horse' beyond the ordinary. Jarvis imbues Liam with raw intensity and complexity; his voice is both menacing and vulnerable when needed. Burnett brings Imogen’s journey to life with a mix of determination and heartbreak, making her story deeply relatable. The narrative pacing keeps you on edge, moving at a brisk clip that never lets up. However, some scenes could benefit from more subtle delivery, particularly in the climactic chase sequence where the tension feels slightly overwrought. Overall, this audiobook is a gripping listen for fans of noir and crime fiction who crave a blend of speed and suspense.
