Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas Editorial Team

Scott Brick’s narration is nothing short of stellar, weaving complex historical threads into a compelling narrative tapestry. His ability to distinguish between the voices of the architects, politicians, and victims adds depth and clarity to Larson’s intricate storytelling. The pacing is impeccable—slowing down during tense moments while accelerating through the exposition of the killer's identity. However, some listeners might find the detailed descriptions occasionally slow the momentum. Nonetheless, this audiobook remains a standout in its genre, offering both an educational and thrilling listen.
