I’m listening to Wahala by Nikki May.

It’s pretty good! A bit slow to begin with. Anyone else read/listened to Wahala?

Any recommendations for my next book?

I've recently enjoyed all of Robert Galbraith's Strike series.

I was enjoying the Ruth Galloway series until the narrator changed.

Was wowed by Piranesi once I got into it,

I'm currently enjoying Mark Gatiss narrate Dracula.

For non-fiction I recommend:

The Suspicions of Mr Whicher

Madhouse at the End of the Earth

Any of Neil Oliver's books which he narrates himself - love that man's accent!

@Youkilledmyfatherpreparetodie

The Heart's Invisible Furies is the best book I've listened to on Audible. The narrator is brilliant.
Thank you for this recommendation. Bought this morning and can’t stop listening to it . Fantastic.

@SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius Dan Jones is brilliant isnt he? I can recommend The Hollow Crown 😊

TwoBigNoisyBoys · 03/03/2022 20:51

@echt and @KateTheEighth agreed! Thank goodness for the sample button, many a potential buy discarded because of this!

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 03/03/2022 21:01

Powers and Thrones is great too, @TwoBigNoisyBoys.

The Stanley Tucci book, Taste, I could listen to his voice forever.

MallampatiCatty · 03/03/2022 22:52

The housemaid
The Thursday murder club
Michael palin's around the world in 80 days
Some Sherlock Holmes short stories
The Marlos murder club (unrelated to the above one!)

Just started The Maid and really enjoying it so far. They're my saviour on night shifts, I love Audible

Maggiesgirl · 04/03/2022 00:04

@GnomeDePlume yep gave listened to all of them and his new one about Hoon. Love JD Kirk

GnomeDePlume · 04/03/2022 05:24

Have you listened to the Inspector Frost stories by RD Wingfield? Quite different from the television series.

Audible have all 5 series of BBC's Baldi as a single purchase. 20 hours of listening.

The Women of Rothschild by Natalie Livingstone

blackteaplease · 04/03/2022 06:09

I'm working my way through the Bosch series but I've also recently enjoyed Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell.

I have started the girl on the train now but I’m struggling to get into it.

I've just finished Love Story by Erich Segal, about to start 1984 as I've never read it! My best listen recently was The Searchers by Robert Sackville West. Honestly couldn't get enough of it

Keladrythesaviour · 04/03/2022 09:28

Oooh @cortex10 that's in my wish list, is it any good?

@SirSidneyRuffDiamond

The narrator switches back to the original one after a couple of books. It was a bit weird!

@Keladrythesaviour

Oooh *@cortex10* that's in my wish list, is it any good?
I'm enjoying it so far - plenty of historical detail to set the context, especially about life for the Jewish communities in Europe from the late 17th century onwards. Also I find it fascinating how the family rose from poverty in the Frankfurt ghetto to being one of the richest dynasties in the world. And it's a written from the perspective of the women of the family as the key characters as events unfold.
SirSidneyRuffDiamond · 04/03/2022 11:46

@Teenylittlefella

Thank you for letting me know! I really disliked the replacement narrator - she got the accents all wrong and I felt quite discombobulated. I'll look and see which book marks the original narrator's return and start listening once again.

Keladrythesaviour · 04/03/2022 11:48

Thanks @cortex10 it sounds interesting!

Distractable · 04/03/2022 11:59

I'm quite new to Audible but I'm really enjoying listening to Georgette Heyer novels, especially The Talisman Ring, Frederica and The Unknown Ajax, which are brilliantly narrated.

FormerlySpeckledyHen · 28/08/2022 08:00

Bumping the thread as I’m looking for inspiration.

LondonWolf · 28/08/2022 08:28

Travellers in the Third Reich - Julia Boyd.

Brilliant and chilling. Diary and letter excerpts from multiple people from other nations who were working, studying or travelling in Germany in the years building up to and during Hitler's ascent to power. On looker testimonies to historical events such as Kristallnacht and book burnings. Highly recommend.

ProfYaffle · 28/08/2022 09:08

The Winter Garden by Alexandra Bell - I found it mesmerising
Good Pop Bad Pop by Jarvis Cocker - helps if you're a Pulp fan but well written and thoughtfully done as an audio book
Derren Brown's Bootcamp for Life Podcast was witty, interesting and genuinely helpful.

BigFatLiar · 28/08/2022 09:09

Journey to the centre of the earth.

Recently finished Breakfast of Champions (Kurt Vonnegurt Jr) - bad, don't read/listen if racist language upsets (set in racist 50s America so understandable) just a rubbish story though.

scissorsandsellotape · 28/08/2022 09:11

I just started listening to the cazalets on a rec from twitter
I am not sure tbh
