Editor's Review ★★☆★★

AudioBook Atlas

Julian Rhind-Tutt's performance in 'The Last Death of the Year' is a standout. His portrayal of Hercule Poirot combines sophistication with a touch of dry humor that matches Sophie Hannah’s writing style perfectly. The dynamic between Poirot and Catchpool adds an interesting layer to the story, but their dialogue can sometimes feel overly formal and slow-paced, particularly in scenes meant to build tension. Despite this, the mystery itself is well-constructed, with clues cleverly hidden around the island's complex social dynamics. The audiobook’s production quality is excellent, enhancing the overall listening experience.
