Ghosts of Crook County

Chris Baetens nails the pacing in Ghosts of Crook County, ensuring every pause and tension build-up resonates. His deep, measured voice lends a somber tone to the narrative, perfectly complementing the gravity of the subject matter. Cobb’s storytelling is particularly compelling when he explores the unsolved mystery at the heart of the book—whether or not this boy ever existed adds an eerie layer of suspense. However, some sections feel overly detailed, which might slow down the momentum for those looking for a faster pace. Nonetheless, Baetens’ performance and the historical context make this audiobook a must-listen for true crime aficionados.
