Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Sophie Roberts delivers an outstanding performance that elevates ‘What Happened That Night’ from good to exceptional. Her narration is pitch-perfect, capturing the anxious atmosphere while subtly conveying the nuances of the characters. The story itself is a well-oiled machine, with a plot that twists and turns in unpredictable ways. I found myself stopping frequently to jot down notes on potential suspects and motives, which is a testament to how skillfully French has woven her tale. However, there were moments where the pacing felt slightly uneven, particularly during some slower character development scenes. Overall, though, these minor critiques do little to detract from the overall brilliance of this audiobook. For listeners who enjoy psychological thrillers that challenge them intellectually and emotionally, ‘What Happened That Night’ is an unmissable listen.
