Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas

Kris Dyer's narration is the lifeblood of this audiobook. His Jack Blackjack is a charismatic rogue, equal parts clever and crude, making him an irresistible guide through London's grimy, corrupt streets. Jecks' plot is a tangled web of political machinations and religious strife, but it's Blackjack's earthy humor and sharp wit that keep you engaged. The pacing is swift, with twists that come like a well-aimed punch. However, some secondary characters can feel one-dimensional, and the ending wraps up a tad too neatly. Still, 'Murdering the Messenger' is a rip-roaring good time, perfect for listeners who enjoy their history with a side of bawdy humor.
