Review
When it comes to immersive thrillers in audiobook form, performance can truly make – or break – the entire experience. With “Marathon,” Brian Freeman’s gripping psychological mystery, listeners are treated to an outstanding narration by Ray Porter that amplifies every pulse-pounding moment.
Ray Porter’s vocal prowess is evident from the opening chapter: his dynamic delivery pulls you directly into Minnesota’s troubled streets alongside Detective Kate Conlan. Porter doesn’t simply read the text; he inhabits each character with subtle shifts in tone and cadence, capturing Kate’s determination as well as the haunting menace lurking behind “The Marathon Man.” Throughout all twelve-plus hours, Porter brings remarkable emotional nuance – whether it’s suspense that lingers like fog over a crime scene or raw vulnerability peeking out during personal confrontations.
Freeman’s writing sets a demanding stage for any narrator: packed with unpredictable twists and complex motives, the plot never slows down for long. As multiple murders grip a small town in terror, listeners will find themselves invested not just in solving the mystery but also unraveling deeper questions about justice and redemption. Freeman crafts multi-dimensional characters whose secrets keep us guessing right up until the final moments – and Porter’s performance ensures we feel every ounce of their desperation and hope.
One particular strength here is how authentically both author and narrator balance action with introspection. While some thrillers focus solely on external danger, “Marathon” explores inner conflict too – especially as Detective Conlan digs beneath layers of fear within her community (and herself). The story’s atmosphere is thick with tension; even quieter scenes simmer thanks to Porter’s sensitive approach.
While most listeners will be swept along by its relentless pace and sharp prose, it’s worth noting that some reviews mention slower patches or threads left unresolved – though I found these merely heightened realism rather than detracted from enjoyment. If anything, they offer room for reflection after you’ve finished listening – a testament to Freeman’s psychological depth.
All told, “Marathon” excels not only as a page-turning thriller but also as an emotional rollercoaster powered by pitch-perfect narration.
