Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas

As someone who enjoys delving into historical true crime cases, I found Le mesonge du siècle to be a riveting listen. Clotilde Seille's narration is superb, effortlessly conveying the gravity and emotional intensity of the story. Her ability to modulate her voice, from calm and measured to chillingly dramatic, keeps listeners engaged throughout the audiobook. One aspect that particularly stood out to me was the audiobook's attention to detail in reconstructing the time period. It brought to life the societal norms and pressures that contributed to the horrific events surrounding Aurore Gagnon's death. However, I felt that the pacing could have been slightly more dynamic at times, as it occasionally lagged in the more descriptive sections. Overall, Le mesonge du siècle is a compelling listen for those interested in Canadian history and true crime.
