Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Aidan Kelly's narration in 'The Cartel' is nothing short of exceptional. His deep, authoritative voice brings Christy Kinahan and his inner circle to life with chilling intensity. The story itself is a testament to Breen's skill; the build-up of tension and the vivid portrayal of Kinahan’s criminal exploits are expertly crafted. However, at times the narrative can feel too dense with detail, which might slow down some listeners. Despite this, 'The Cartel' remains a compelling listen, perfect for those who crave both biographical depth and the gritty realism of true crime tales.
