One Of The Good Guys by Araminta Hall
Book Synopsis
If most men claim to be good, why are most women still afraid to walk home alone at night?
Desperate to escape the ghosts of his failed marriage, Cole upends his life. He leaves London behind for a remote stretch of coast, relishing the respite from the noise, drama, and relentless careerism that curdled his relationship and mental health. Leonora has made the same move for similar reasons. She’s living a short walk from Cole’s seaside cottage, preparing for her latest art exhibition. Although Cole still can’t figure out what went wrong with his marriage, and Leonora is having trouble acclimating to the hostile landscape, the pair forges a connection on the eroding bluff they call home.
Then two young female activists raising awareness about gendered violence disappear while passing through. Cole and Leonora suddenly find themselves in the middle of a police investigation--and the resulting media firestorm when the world learns of what happened. And as the tension escalates alongside the search for the missing women, they quickly realize that they don’t know each other that well after all.
My Thoughts
I listened to the audiobook of One Of The Good Guys on Libro FM. I feel like the audio worked really well for the style of storytelling in this book. I enjoyed the use of multiple narrators and the perspectives these narrators lent to the story.
The three narrators voices kept me well immersed in the story and I didn't find my attention drifting at all when listening and it was a very entertaining listen. The additon of news segments, tweets, posts and the variety of online chatter made for an interesting listening experience.
A timely, thought provoking and dark audiobook that definitely ventures into some dark and a bit of disturbing territory, but the author does a good job of writing this with appropriate words and care in the book.
I listened to this audiobook in a total listening time of 6 hours and 3 minutes at 1.3 x listening speed. The audiobook was narrated by Elliott Fitzpatrick, Olivia Vinall, and Helen Keeley.
My Rating: 4/5
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
