Scott Brick narrates Plum Island with the kind of unhurried authority that suits a detective who won't be rushed — his voice carries a sardonic edge that makes John Corey's wise-ass observations land without straining, and at 20 hours the listen settles into a slow burn that rewards patience. Every one of the ten recommendations comes from the same , most run a similar length, and the whole list shares that same tone of a confident professional who's seen too much to be easily impressed.
