Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As an audiobook listener, I often find myself craving a story that's not just a quick, thrilling ride, but a rich, immersive experience. 'The Hermit of Eyton Forest' delivered just that. Roe Kendall's narration is a standout feature. His ability to differentiate characters with subtle changes in tone and pace is impressive. The story itself is a slow burn, which might not appeal to everyone, but I found it allowed me to truly appreciate the intricate plotting and historical detail. My only critique is that the pacing could have been a tad faster in the middle, but overall, it's a minor quibble. If you're a fan of historical mysteries that prioritize depth and atmosphere over speed, this audiobook is a must-listen.
