Twenty Blue Devils

Joel Richards delivers an engaging performance that perfectly matches the atmospheric tension of Aaron Elkins' script. His portrayal of FBI agent John Lau is both authoritative and vulnerable, making each scene feel like it could shift in an instant. The story unfolds at a steady pace, laced with small moments of brilliance—like the detailed descriptions of Tahitian landscapes—that make the setting feel alive. However, some plot threads remain underdeveloped, leaving listeners eager for more depth. Nonetheless, this audiobook is a compelling listen, especially for those who appreciate layered mysteries and exotic locales.
