While I don't think I would have liked it any better if I read it physically, I would recommend against the audiobook for this one. The narrator has a very pleasant natural voice, but her American accents were very distracting.
As far as the book contents, it isn't the best thriller I've ever read, but it wasn't the worst. I kept waiting for the pace or urgency to ramp up, but it never really did for me. I also think the story overall was pretty obvious and straightforward? I was expecting it to have more involved puzzles.
