Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas Editorial Team

Janey Ivey's portrayal of Nancy Seaman in ‘Internal Combustion’ is nothing short of exceptional. Her narration captures the essence of Nancy’s character, weaving through her professional achievements and personal life with such authenticity that it feels like you are listening to an intimate conversation. The pacing is impeccable—swiftly moving through key events while pausing long enough to reflect on the emotional weight of each moment. This audiobook isn’t just about the crime; it’s a poignant exploration of the fragility of marriage and the impact of secrets. One downside is that the narrative can be emotionally draining, so prepare for some intense listening sessions. Despite this, ‘Internal Combustion’ stands out as a powerful true crime story told with deep empathy and insight.
