Whispers of Terror - 5/10
The idea of the enemy being purely audio is a very intriguing idea and this story feels like the best advert for Big Finish there could be, that being said the actual story itself didn't blow me away but that's not to say it was all bad.
I still haven't got heaps of experience with Big Finish in general so the audio format is still quite odd to me, I do however believe Colin works wonderfully in it and has clearly adapted almost instantaneously to the format.
The story itself is quite interesting playing into themes of corruption and faking evidence, the premise of it is actually quite relevant today with the rapidly increasing power of Ai forging evidence and audio is easier than ever before. The plot works fine, but there was something about I just found quite dull and boring while listening to it if I'm honest.
Im still struggling to not get lost in these audio stories at the moment and I do have to say its getting better with this one feeling a lot more cohesive than the others have done.
Overall, Whispers of Terror gets a 5/10 because while I do think the idea of the story is novel I found it in execution to be just be boring at times, I enjoyed the Doctors performance but personally the side characters left a lot to be desired. For my third ever audio adventure at least I can say I feel like the quality is improving.
