The Sleepwalker Audiobook – Aidan Waits, Book 3

It was a rainy afternoon, and I found myself cozied up in bed with a soft blanket and a steaming cup of tea. The sound of the rain tapping against the window created the perfect backdrop for diving into “The Sleepwalker Audiobook” by Joseph Knox, narrated by Lewys Taylor. There’s something about gloomy weather that makes crime thrillers even more gripping, and this audiobook did not disappoint.

From the very first chapter, I was hooked. The story follows Detective Aidan Waits as he navigates a labyrinth of darkness, manipulation, and danger. Sitting in that abandoned hospital ward, watching a mass murderer slowly die – what an opening! The tension was palpable, and Lewys Taylor’s narration brought every moment to life. His voice carried just the right amount of grit and urgency, making me feel like I was right there with Waits, trying to piece together the puzzle before it was too late.

What struck me most was how deeply human Aidan Waits felt. He’s flawed, haunted by his past, and constantly teetering on the edge of self-destruction. Yet, there’s something so compelling about his determination to uncover the truth, even when it feels like the world is conspiring against him. The dynamic between Waits and Detective Constable Naomi Black added another layer of intrigue. Their interactions were tense yet nuanced, leaving me guessing about their true intentions until the very end.

The plot itself is a masterclass in suspense. Joseph Knox weaves together multiple threads – blackouts, a contract killer on the loose, Wick’s cryptic last words – into a story that kept me on edge throughout. There were moments when I had to pause just to catch my breath or process what had just happened. And that ending? No spoilers here, but let’s just say it left me staring at the ceiling for a good ten minutes after finishing.

Listening to “The Sleepwalker” felt like being part of a high-stakes game where every move could be your last. It’s dark, atmospheric, and utterly addictive – a must-listen for anyone who loves crime thrillers with depth and complexity.
