Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Kevin Free and Cary Hite's dual narration adds depth to 'Lagos Noir,' bringing diverse voices and accents that perfectly complement each story. The pacing is impeccable, with moments of tension seamlessly transitioning to quieter, introspective sections. However, some stories may feel a bit too similar in tone, which can make the anthology feel a tad repetitive at times. Nonetheless, it's a compelling journey into Lagos' shadowy corners, making 'Lagos Noir' an essential listen for fans of urban noir and African literature.
