THE GREAT MISTAKE

Andrew Haswell Green's life and death lingered in obscurity until it was revived through this fascinating audiobook. Green's murder was the tragic ending to the life of one of the key architects of Central Park, the New York Public Library, and more. Green's shooting was never solved, but author Jonathan Lee's novel tries to fill in the blanks. Graham Halstead's riveting narration is as exceptional as the book itself. Halstead captures the personalities of the power brokers and others with whom Green interacted, with his superb narration serving as a light into Green's psyche. Every character, from police detectives to Green's housekeeper, is important to the investigation, and each shines with Halstead at the mic. The result is an audiobook that reveals the people who had lurked in the shadows of Green's life. D.J.S. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2021]
