Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

I was hooked from the first minute of this audiobook, drawn in by Jeff Riggenbach's crisp, authoritative narration and Donald Spoto's meticulously researched storytelling. But what truly sets The Dark Side of Genius apart is its willingness to confront the more unsavory aspects of Hitchcock's personality – his misogyny, his obsession with death, and his ruthless competitiveness. It's a bold move, but one that pays off in spades, making for a truly unforgettable listening experience.
