Editor's Review ★★★☆★

AudioBook Atlas

Perdita Weeks and Ross Anderson’s narration is a standout feature of this audiobook, breathing life into Elizabeth Fremantle's meticulously crafted tale. The dual narrative style—alternating between the perspectives of two central characters—is masterfully executed, ensuring listeners remain engrossed throughout. However, some pacing issues do occasionally surface, slowing down certain sections that could have benefited from a more brisk delivery. Despite this minor flaw, 'The Poison Bed' is a must-listen for fans of historical fiction, offering both intrigue and emotional depth.
