Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As an editor, I was immediately drawn to Edoardo Ballerini’s nuanced performance, especially his chilling portrayal of the spy network's ruthless interrogator. Ruta Sepetys’ own narration adds a personal touch that resonates deeply with the story's emotional core. The pacing is flawless—slowing down during poignant scenes and building suspense during high-stakes confrontations. However, some listeners might find certain plot twists overly predictable due to the historical context. Nonetheless, 'I Must Betray You' remains an unmissable listen for fans of mystery and thriller genres.
