The Long Drop

David Monteath's narration is nothing short of brilliant in 'The Long Drop'. His ability to modulate tone and pace keeps the tension high without ever feeling forced. The story itself is a rollercoaster of twists and turns, filled with characters that feel both familiar and complex. While the plot is relentless, there are moments of unexpected tenderness that add depth to an otherwise taut narrative. However, the ending left me slightly unsatisfied; while it ties up loose ends well, it might have benefited from a more nuanced resolution. Nonetheless, Mina's writing and Monteath's performance make this audiobook a must-listen for crime fiction enthusiasts.
