Audible reccs

[FridayBluezzzz]

Need to spend a load of credits for a deal today.

I’m on a break but have struggled to find anything good lately.
I like crime and classics, hate autobiographies. Hate Richard Osman.

I seem to keep picking the same things which are books with one twist at the end which end up being very disappointing.

I have a few things in my wish list but need a few Reccs for today, especially maybe something I might not pick myself as I am obviously rubbish at it.

I like Stuart MacBride's Logan McRae series. It's a bit bleak and scabrous but also pretty funny at times (in a dark kind of way) and it's got a good sense of place (set in Aberdeen mostly). Well read by Steve Worseley (MacBride himself narrates a couple for some reason, but he's OK too).

Ann Cleeves has the Vera series and the Shetland series. Both good.

Go back to the classics -- P.D. James and Ruth Rendell.

Mick Herron's Slough House series not crime exactly, they're more spy novels. But funny ones. The concept is there's a crappy building where the security service sends spies who've cocked up somehow left top secret data on a train, messed up a training exercise, become an alcoholic -- and they always end up getting involved in bother. They're read by Sean Barrett, who is a fantastic narrator.

I like the Jack Reacher books too although when you hear them narrated you realise how often Child writes 'he said'.

Thanks! Might try the first in that series for definite
