Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Tom Parks’ narration is both powerful and nuanced, perfectly capturing the gravity of Canning’s journey without ever veering into melodrama. The first half feels almost clinical in its recounting of the escalating drug crisis, with each anecdote meticulously detailed to underscore the human impact. As the narrative progresses, however, it becomes more emotionally charged, making for a poignant listening experience. One minor critique is that some technical aspects could have been clearer; specific policies or programs mentioned briefly might benefit from additional explanation. Nonetheless, Killing Season stands as an essential listen for anyone interested in healthcare reform or the personal struggles surrounding addiction.
