Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Jonathan Guy-Lewis brings Leo Black to life with a performance that’s both captivating and chilling. His voice modulates effortlessly between the earnest professor and the lurking madman, adding layers to Hall’s already complex narrative. The story itself is a tightrope walk between academic respectability and shocking revelations, keeping listeners on edge. However, some of the pacing lingers too long in explanatory segments, occasionally dragging down the overall momentum. Despite this, 'The Black Art of Killing' remains a must-listen for fans of psychological thrillers and meticulously crafted narratives.
