Editor's Review ★★★☆★

AudioBook Atlas

Richard Coles's narration in 'Murder Before Evensong' is nothing short of captivating. His ability to convey both the religious undertones and personal dilemmas of Canon Daniel Clement adds depth to an already engaging plot. The pacing is just right, balancing suspenseful twists with moments of quiet reflection that highlight Champton’s quaint charm. However, the narrative could benefit from more explicit character development; certain plot threads felt slightly underexplored at times. Nonetheless, Coles's performance and the story’s unique blend of mystery and queer representation make this audiobook a must-listen for fans of both cozy mysteries and LGBTQ+ fiction.
