Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Craig Wasson’s narration is nothing short of a revelation; his rich, baritone voice lends an uncanny realism to Ellroy’s dark narrative. The story, set in the shadowy aftermath of Pearl Harbor, unfolds with a relentless pace that keeps listeners on edge. From the ominous thunderstorms to the chilling discoveries hidden beneath the city, Wasson skillfully captures every nuance of tension and dread. However, at times, the sheer density of information can be overwhelming, making it harder for the listener to process each twist. Despite this, 'This Storm' remains a gripping journey through one of Ellroy’s most compelling narratives.
