Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

As I listened to Memories of Midnight, I couldn't help but be swept up in the intricate world Sheldon has created. Jenny Agutter's narration is a highlight of the audiobook, bringing depth and nuance to the characters. However, at times the pacing feels a bit rushed, with some plot threads feeling slightly underdeveloped. The use of amnesia as a plot device also feels a bit overused, and I found myself wishing for a more original twist. Despite these minor criticisms, Memories of Midnight remains a compelling and addictive listen, perfect for fans of 1950s-60s style thrillers.
