Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Casey Turner's voice is a revelation in ‘How to Sell a Poison.’ Her deep, resonant tone perfectly complements Conis' meticulously researched text, creating a captivating listening experience. The narrative zips along at a brisk pace, making it hard to put down—literally, as I found myself racing through the audiobook to uncover more details about DDT's dark legacy. While some scenes might be too technical for casual listeners, Turner’s nuanced delivery ensures they are engaging rather than overwhelming. A standout critique is that the emotional impact could have been deeper with a bit more character development. Nevertheless, this audiobook stands as a compelling exploration of how corporate interests can manipulate science for profit at great human and environmental cost.
