Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas

Sarah Barron delivers a standout performance in 'The Dead and the Dying,' her voice capturing Rhona MacLeod's determination and vulnerability effortlessly. The production quality is top-notch, enhancing the eerie ambiance of Orkney’s rugged terrain. Anderson’s writing shines through Barron’s narration; each twist and turn feels as if they’re unfolding right before your ears. However, at times, the pacing can drag slightly during quieter moments, which might distract from the overall intensity. Still, 'The Dead and the Dying' is a compelling listen for fans of atmospheric crime fiction, especially those drawn to the mystical allure of small town settings.
