About This Audiobook

In Take Out, Margaret Maron serves up a gripping NYPD mystery that's as much about the streets of New York as it is about the tangled lives of its characters. Sigrid Harald, a seasoned and no-nonsense detective, finds herself entangled in a web of deceit and corruption that leads her to the darkest corners of the city. Maron's writing is as crisp as the Manhattan air, with a keen eye for detail that makes every scene feel lived-in and real.

The real standout here, however, is the story itself - a puzzle with too many unexpected twists and turns to count. Maron weaves a complex narrative that's both a mystery to be solved and a character study of the people caught up in it. It's a testament to the author's skill that the listener is kept guessing until the very end, and even then, the aftermath lingers on like a whispered secret. Courtney Patterson's narration brings the story to life with a smooth, steady pace that perfectly complements Maron's writing style.

Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

I have to admit, I was a little skeptical about diving into a mystery set in the NYPD - as a fan of the genre, I've heard it all before. But Take Out surprised me with its intricate plotting and complex characters. Courtney Patterson does a great job bringing Sigrid Harald to life, capturing her no-nonsense attitude and dry wit with ease. My only quibble is that at times, the supporting cast can feel a bit one-dimensional - it's clear Maron had her sights set firmly on Sigrid and her investigation. That being said, the story more than makes up for it, with twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat. The production quality is top-notch, with clear sound and an engaging pace that makes the 7-hour listen fly by. If you're a fan of police procedurals or just looking for a good mystery to sink your teeth into, Take Out is a great choice. Just be prepared for some late nights and early mornings, courtesy of this gripping and unpredictable story.
