Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Kristen DiMercurio’s narration masterfully conjures an environment thick with tension and unease. Her performance brings Venita Rost to life, making her haunting presence feel almost tangible. The story's pacing is impeccable—slow enough to build the suspense but quick enough to keep you hooked. The inspector’s character adds a layer of gritty realism that contrasts sharply with the ethereal setting. However, some sections might drag slightly as they delve into Venita’s backstory, which could be tightened up for even greater impact. Overall, 'It Was Her House First' is a gripping and atmospheric listen that will keep you on edge from start to finish.
