Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas

I devoured 'Gioco di sponda' in a single, mesmerizing listen. Renata Bertolas's narration is superb, bringing a sense of intimacy and immediacy to the story. The pacing is well-balanced, with Laterza expertly ratcheting up the tension as the mystery unfolds. One of the standout aspects of the audiobook is its vivid depiction of the Italian winter landscape, which is evoked through Bertolas's evocative narration and Laterza's descriptive prose. My only critique is that some of the supporting characters feel a bit underdeveloped, and I would have liked a bit more resolution on a few plot threads. However, these are minor quibbles in an otherwise engaging and suspenseful listen.
