Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Stephen Mendel’s narration is nothing short of brilliant in ‘The Drifter.’ His deep, resonant voice perfectly captures Peter Ash’s struggle, making listeners feel every beat of his heart. The story unfolds with a tense, suspenseful pace that keeps you on the edge of your seat, much like a gripping thriller should. However, there are moments where the narrative slows down too much, feeling overly descriptive and somewhat redundant. Despite this, Petrie's writing is rich and evocative, painting vivid scenes that Mendel expertly brings to life with his performance.
