The Killing Of Polly Carter

Phil Fox's portrayal of DI Richard Poole is nothing short of stellar. His crisp delivery matches the brisk pace of Thorogood’s narrative, ensuring each twist and turn feels urgent and real. The story itself is a masterclass in building suspense; from Polly Carter’s glamorous party scene to the grim investigation that follows, every moment carries weight. However, the audiobook could benefit from more explicit character development, sometimes leaving listeners craving deeper insights into their motivations. Despite this minor critique, 'The Killing of Polly Carter' is an engaging and atmospheric listen that keeps you hooked until the final reveal.
