Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

I was thoroughly entertained by 'Surfeit of Suspects', and David Thorpe's narration was a significant part of that experience. His ability to convey the nuances of the characters' emotions and relationships was impressive, and he brought a sense of gravitas to the role of Inspector Littlejohn that added depth to the story. My only criticism would be that, at times, the pacing felt a bit slow, particularly in the middle sections of the book. However, this was a minor quibble, and overall, I found myself thoroughly engrossed in the world of Surrey's quiet town and the mystery that unfolds. The production quality was excellent, with clear sound and a well-balanced mix. If you're a fan of classic whodunits, 'Surfeit of Suspects' is an absolute must-listen.
