AudioBook Atlas

Kenny Blyth’s narration sets an eerie tone that perfectly complements Cleeves’s storytelling. His portrayal of Perez is nuanced and captivating, making each character distinct yet relatable. The production quality is top-notch, with clear sound and well-crafted sound effects that enhance the narrative. However, some listeners might find the pace a bit slow at times as Cleeves establishes the characters and setting. Despite this minor quibble, Raven Black is a must-listen for fans of atmospheric crime fiction and those drawn to small-town mysteries steeped in history and tension.
