Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

‘The Family Friend’ is a masterclass in audiobook storytelling, led by a stellar cast. Juliet Stevenson’s portrayal as Imogen is nuanced and captivating, setting the tone for this nail-biting mystery. The pacing is impeccable, with moments that jump between past and present to keep you guessing until the very end. Alix Dunmore and Charlotte Worthing bring their characters to life with a perfect blend of menace and charm, making it difficult to tell who can be trusted. However, some subplots feel slightly underdeveloped compared to the main narrative. Despite this minor criticism, this audiobook is an enthralling listen that will keep you hooked from start to finish.
