Editor's Review ★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As someone who's listened to their fair share of true crime audiobooks, I found 'The Life & Death of Pretty Boy Floyd' to be a refreshing change. King's writing is engaging and well-researched, and Chekijian's narration is top-notch. However, I did find the pacing to be a bit slow in places, with some historical context feeling a tad excessive. But these minor critiques are easily overlooked in light of the fascinating story King tells. If you're looking for a true crime audiobook that's both informative and engaging, this is a great choice.
