Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Joanna Scanlan's narration as Allison is both measured and intense, perfectly capturing the character’s emotional depth. The cast's performances are uniformly excellent, especially David Holt who brings an unsettling presence to his role. However, at times, the pacing could benefit from a bit more clarity in the transitions between scenes. Despite this minor issue, 'Mercy' is a compelling listen that challenges your perceptions of duty and mercy in healthcare settings. The story’s twists and turns are masterfully handled, making it an unforgettable journey through a nurse's final shift.
