Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Beth Eyre’s narration brings 'The New Forest Murders' to life with her crisp and clear delivery. Each character is distinct and well-defined, thanks in no small part to Eyre's nuanced performance. The story itself is tightly wound and paced perfectly, maintaining tension even as it weaves through the dense forest landscape. One minor critique: occasional pacing lags slightly during quieter introspective sections, but overall, Sweet’s narrative style and Eyre’s voice are a match made in audiobook heaven. A must-listen for fans of Agatha Christie and historical mysteries.
