Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

David Thorpe's narration in 'The Habit of Murder' is nothing short of extraordinary. His deep and resonant voice perfectly captures the medieval setting, giving life to characters with distinct personalities and motivations. The story unfolds at a steady pace that keeps listeners engaged, but not so fast that it loses its intricate details or historical context. One minor critique is that some plot twists feel a bit predictable, which could have been handled more subtly. Despite this, the overall experience of this audiobook is captivating, blending complex characters and a tense atmosphere to create a compelling narrative that immerses listeners in Gregory’s vivid world.
