Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Simon Mattacks delivers a masterclass in understated narration, perfectly capturing the dry humor and nuanced emotions of Cleeves' characters. In Killjoy, Inspector Ramsay navigates the tight-knit community of Amisfield with a blend of caution and charm that keeps the mystery compelling. The pacing is impeccable, building suspense without dragging. However, some may find the local references and cultural nuances a tad obscure, which could be challenging for newcomers to the series. Nevertheless, Mattacks’ performance ensures an entertaining ride through Cleeves' small-town mysteries.
