I love audio books, I do a lot of driving and find that they are an excellent form of entertainment on the road. Can anyone recommend a good audiobook? I'm looking for an engaging story with good narration. The best ones I've listened to are the King Killer Chronicles. Great story and brilliant narration. I enjoy most fiction, fantasy, science fiction, thriller, crime etc.
Thanks.

All of Anthony Trollope's works, read by the incomparable Timothy West. He becomes all of the characters, so you might think it's a cast of thousands, and such wonderful prose. My drug of choice!!

I also love in- car listening. My favourite recent listen was The Count of Monte Cristo narrated by Bill Homewood, available on Audible.co.uk. However it is very long so you have to be willing to commit! Also quite slow moving but incredibly atmospheric. For something shorter try The Ocean at the End of the Lane, written and read by the great Neil Gaiman.
