About This Audiobook

Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

As a listener, I was thoroughly captivated by Garden of Sins from the opening scene. Alex Tregear's narration is top-notch, with a clear, expressive voice that brings the characters and setting to vivid life. His portrayal of Sarah Bain Barrett is particularly compelling, conveying her intelligence, determination, and vulnerability with ease. One of the things that really stood out to me was the way Rowland weaves together the various plot threads, expertly balancing suspense and intrigue with thoughtful character development. If I have any quibbles, it's that the pacing occasionally feels a bit uneven, with some sections feeling slightly rushed in comparison to others. However, this is a minor complaint in an otherwise engaging and well-crafted listen. Overall, I would highly recommend Garden of Sins to fans of historical mystery and suspense, and I'm already looking forward to exploring more of Laura Joh Rowland's work.
