Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Navigating the dark waters of Icelandic suspense, Bert Seymour and Tamaryn Payne’s duet is a standout performance. Their nuanced portrayals of characters, from Lára’s bewildered curiosity to the chillingly calm villain, are both convincing and unsettling. The pacing is expertly handled; each scene builds tension without overwhelming listeners. Yet, there's a slight unevenness in the storytelling that occasionally disrupts the flow—a few too many descriptive pauses can feel like they last just a bit too long. Despite this minor issue, Reykjavík remains an engrossing listen, perfect for audiobook enthusiasts who crave both psychological depth and atmospheric tension.
