Very well written.

Love the characters, but it was read a little too fast. Not too predictable, like some mysteries.

Superb story and storytelling

The entire Atticus (like the book) Priest series-so far-is unputdownable. I fully enjoyed all aspects and appreciate the main character is Nero-diverse and rather than seeing as a “disability” he views seeing the world differently than everyone else as a gift.
Also appreciate the audible app provides the speed selector as narrator fairly fled through the text with a driving urgency I found unsettling. It’s not Simon, it’s me. and I wanted to savor the stories a bit more so .90 suited. You have my recommendation to invest in all three books! Looking forward to additional installments in this series.

Another solid putting for Atticus

Starting to be a little tired of the throughline story. I prefer when Atticus shows us his the things he sees so we can guess too.

Such a right story

From the first sentence in book 1 to the last sentence in book 3, Atticus and Mac make an amazing team. Hope there is a book four, engrossing story.

Well done!

Another great installment! The more I read, the more I live Atticus Priest. Keep them coming, Mr. Dawson!

Story is a bit darker than the first book but just as thrilling and enjoyable..

As eluded to towards the end of the previous book, there is human trafficking (triggering for some readers potentially). Otherwise, it offers great storytelling and even better character development.

I Liked It

I enjoyed the book and the characters. The story was convoluted enough that I will need to reread it when the next in the series comes out. Overall this has been a good strong series.

Another Winner out of Salisbury!

Just the right fix while waiting for the next John Milton thriller. Couldn't stop listening, fell asleep and had to figure out where I left off.
Atticus Priest just keeps getting more interesting.
Simon Vance had a lovely voice.
The volume level was off on some parts but did not distract from the story. something Audible can fix.

Love Atticus Priest!

Wonderful audiobooks…all 3 of them! Great British mysteries and great narrator. I’m excited for book 4!

Exciting until the last!

Mark Dawson just keeps getting better with his newest character Addison! Exciting until the last with twist and turns.
