Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Jonathan Keeble’s narration sets this audiobook apart, his British accent lending authenticity and gravitas to each tale. As an editor, I found myself captivated by Adams’ recounting of these historic crimes, from the notorious trials packed with gossipy spectators to the public executions that promised gore. The pacing is impeccable; each chapter builds suspense while maintaining a balance between historical detail and personal narrative. However, some listeners might find certain passages overly clinical in their description of violent acts, which could be a turn-off for those sensitive to such content. Overall, 'Great and Horrible News' offers an engaging blend of true crime and biographical storytelling that will satisfy history buffs and true-crime enthusiasts alike.
