Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Martyn Swain’s performance in 'The Old Man in the Corner' is nothing short of superb. His narration brings depth to each character, from the sharp-tongued old man with his encyclopedic knowledge to the eager reporter who finds herself on the receiving end of cryptic clues. The pacing is perfect, balancing moments of tension and quieter introspection that enhance the overall mystery. However, some stories feel a bit redundant in their approach, which may slightly dampen the impact of others. Nonetheless, this audiobook remains a thrilling listen, offering sharp dialogue and clever plot twists that will keep you guessing until the very end.
