Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas Editorial Team

I was immediately drawn into Nesbø's dark, rain-soaked world. The pacing is relentless, with short, sharp chapters that make it hard to stop listening. Angiuli's narration is exceptional, his voice perfectly capturing the grimy, desperate atmosphere of the city. He also does a fantastic job with the diverse cast of characters, giving each a distinct voice and personality. However, I found the ending a tad rushed, which was a shame after such a slow burn. Overall, though, this is a gripping, unique take on a classic tale. If you're a fan of dark, gritty thrillers, this is a must-listen.
