Lies Sleeping

Kobna Holdbrook-Smith’s narration is a standout feature in ‘Lies Sleeping.’ His ability to shift seamlessly between Peter Grant’s cautious wizardry and the gritty urban landscape of London creates a captivating auditory experience. The tension builds steadily, especially during the confrontation with the Faceless Man—a villain whose secrets are slowly peeled away like layers of a onion. However, some might find the frequent shifts in tone occasionally break the narrative flow, distracting from the more nuanced elements. Nonetheless, Aaronovitch’s masterful storytelling keeps listeners hooked until the final revelation.
