I have two credits burning a hole in my 'pocket'! I need a new, gripping book to listen to.

I love the Cormoran Strike séries and I've listened to all of them multiple times.

Authors I love:
Margaret Atwood
Dickens
Donna Tartt
Sarah Waters
Stephen King

Genres I love:
Post-apocalyptic scenarios
Crime
Horror (not gore)
Historical fiction

Books I didn't like recently:
Rivers of London
Piranesi
A Little Life

Any suggestions most welcome!

I’m just listening to In a Place of Darkness by Stuart McBride. Standalone novel ( he has a series set in Aberdeen). I’m enjoying it very much, crime but he has a humorous style. And it’s a good long book which I like.

I’d also second Precipice as that was the last I listened to! If you’ve not listened to them, try James Oswald Inspector Maclean novels. Set in Edinburgh with a few supernatural elements, but great writing!

I think I liked The Running Grave best, I enjoyed all the earlier ones, but was not keen on The Ink Black Heart, and nearly gave up after that. So glad I kept going, even the Ink Black Heart grew on me on re-listening.

I have just finished Robert Harris's latest historical novel, Precipice. Very good listen.

Like you I've loved the Cormoran Strike books, hoping the next one is out before too long.

Me too!!! What's been your favourite so far? Mine is Troubled Blood.
