Editor's Review ★★★☆★

AudioBook Atlas

Mia Barron's performance in Need to Know is nothing short of brilliant. Her ability to convey the internal struggles of Vivian Miller, alongside the fast-paced narrative, makes each chapter feel like a rollercoaster ride. The storytelling is masterful—Cleveland’s writing paints vivid pictures of political and personal turmoil that keep you guessing until the very end. However, some scenes feel overly rushed, leaving certain plot points underdeveloped. Despite this minor critique, Need to Know remains an engrossing listen with Mia Barron’s narration elevating every moment.
