Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas Editorial Team

As someone who remembers the Laci Peterson case, I was drawn to this audiobook for its promise of a fresh perspective. And 'The Murder of Laci Peterson' delivers, thanks in large part to Declan Cross's meticulous research and Geraldo Cortes's compelling narration. Cortes's performance is a highlight, his voice capturing the tension and emotion of the story without resorting to sensationalism. The pacing is excellent, too, building to a dramatic climax in the courtroom. However, I found the lack of insight into Laci's character frustrating at times, and the resolution felt somewhat rushed. Still, this is a gripping listen that will keep true crime fans on the edge of their seats.
