His narration is clear and emotive, particularly during tense moments on board the Cape Farewell. The story is meticulously plotted with a satisfying reveal that will keep you guessing until the very end. However, some characters feel underdeveloped, which might detract from the overall experience for some listeners. Nonetheless, the audiobook’s atmospheric setting and Saxon's skillful delivery make it a compelling choice for fans of classic crime fiction.
