Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Steve Shanahan’s voice is a revelation here – he seamlessly transitions between characters and narrates with an edge that keeps listeners hooked. The pacing is brisk, allowing each twist and turn in the heist to build suspensefully. Frank Gardiner emerges as a complex character, far more than just a criminal. His motivations and relationships are explored thoughtfully. However, some scenes feel slightly rushed, perhaps due to time constraints. Overall, ‘The Golden Gang’ is an essential listen for true crime enthusiasts and those interested in the wilder side of Australian history.
