Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

David Colacci's performance is nothing short of stellar in Death and Judgment. His portrayal of Commissario Brunetti is both authoritative and empathetic, perfectly capturing the character’s complexity. The audio production quality is impeccable, making the Dolomites come alive with detailed soundscapes that enhance the story. However, the pacing can feel a bit slow at times, dragging slightly through some character interactions. Despite this minor quibble, the plot twists and turns keep you on your toes, ensuring that every moment of the audiobook feels essential to the narrative. A standout in Donna Leon’s series, it's not just about solving crimes but also about understanding human nature in a picturesque yet dangerous setting.
