About This Audiobook

I Killed the King is a high-stakes YA thriller that blends the best of One of Us Is Lying and Knives Out with a dark fantasy twist. The audiobook, narrated by Dan Bittner, delivers a gripping, fast-paced mystery with a cast of morally ambiguous characters. Bittner’s dynamic voice work brings the tension to life, especially in the tense courtroom scenes. The locked-room mystery is cleverly constructed, but the real hook is the morally gray protagonist and the eerie, beast-filled world. If you love mysteries with a twist and aren’t afraid of a little body horror, this is a must-listen.

Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I Killed the King is a thrilling audiobook that keeps you guessing until the very end. Dan Bittner’s narration is excellent—his ability to shift between characters’ voices and emotional tones makes the courtroom drama and betrayals feel immediate. The mystery itself is clever, with a locked-room setup that feels fresh, but the real standout is the morally ambiguous protagonist, who makes you question everyone. The pacing is brisk, and the world-building is immersive, especially the eerie, beast-filled undercurrents. The only critique? The ending felt a little rushed, but that’s a minor quibble. If you enjoy YA thrillers with a dark edge, this is a standout pick.
