About This Audiobook

Walter Mosley's 'New York Karma' is a raw, unapologetic dive into the Big Apple's underbelly, served with a dash of karmic justice. This isn't your typical whodunit; it's a character study wrapped in a mystery, with a protagonist, Leonid McGill, who's as complex as the city he inhabits. Michael Brostrup's narration is a standout, bringing McGill's world-weary cynicism and unexpected vulnerability to life. His delivery is as gritty as the story, making this audiobook a distinctive listen.

Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

I've listened to my fair share of noir, but 'New York Karma' stands out. Mosley's prose is sharp, his plot unpredictable, and his characters deeply flawed and fascinating. Brostrup's narration is a perfect match, his voice capturing the grimy, lived-in feel of the story. However, the pacing can be a bit uneven, with some sections feeling rushed while others linger too long. Also, while I appreciate the karmic twists, they can sometimes feel a bit heavy-handed. But these are minor quibbles in an otherwise engaging listen that offers a fresh take on the classic noir formula.
