Audible, what are you currently listening to? What's great?

[User14March]

Open to any suggestions on Audible books. What has really gripped you recently? Thanks.

Hi I like crime fiction especially Scottish crime fiction. I'm on the third novel by J M Dalgliesh. All set on the Isle of Skye

I swing between Audible and BBC sounds.
On Audible I've got into more of the true crime, but have a real mix. Here's my last few that I'd recommend.

Queen Bee Jane Fallon
Crossing Places Elly Griffiths
Corrupt Bodies Peter Everett

My favourite listens so far are all very different but loved all of them

The count of monte cristo (really long but so worth the time investment it's amazing)

Strange sally diamond - listened in a day it's amazing

Seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo - not my usual kind of book but I loved this

I'm currently listening to My Favourite Mistake by Marian Keyes. I've never read any by her, but this is the second one I've listened to. She's an excellent storyteller and long car journeys go quickly.

I've recently listened to Three Sisters, which is the third in the Tattooist of Auschwitz series. I also listened to Tattooist a few years ago, but then read Cilka's Journey (the second one). They are all excellent.

The Boys from Brazil was another good one.

I enjoyed Becoming, Michelle Obama's autobiography. She reads it herself.

John Scalzi - Starter Villain (not sure how to categorise this tbh, sort of humorous thriller with talking cats)

Andrew Mayne - The Naturalist, crime thriller, first of a series

We are Legion, We are Bob - Dennis E Taylor, sci-fi, first of a series. I've listened to the whole series twice and I'm considering starting over again as I really enjoy it.

My Perfect Daughter by Sarah Denzil

Thanks for suggestions! Non fiction favourites?

I second Marian Keyes - she tends to narrate her own and is lovely to listen to.
The seven sisters series is fab and all v long so good value.
Also love J K Rowling's detective series, her pen name is Robert Galbraith - the narration is great and the stories are excellent.
Also recently enjoyed a crime series about a female detective by Jane Casey
Finally, absolutely loved listening to a little life and in memorium - both heartbreaking but fabulous

I like Michael Pollan for non-fiction. He has a lovely soothing voice and he researches things really well.

i have just discover Peter Grainger. Lots of his books are free on Plus at the moment. Brilliant narration who really captures the sardonic humour of Sargent Smith.

Strange sally diamond as per pp,
The widow, free at the minute.
I like KL Slater the author too
For n f podcast ,help I sexted my boss

'Tolkien and the Great War - The Threshold of Middle Earth' by John Garth. It's read by the author, and is about Tolkien as a young man and a soldier in the First World War, and his creation of the first stories of Middle Earth at that time. I've really enjoyed it.

If you’re open to non-fiction I’ve really enjoyed Material World by Ed Conway.

I've just finished I Invited Her In by Adele Parks, read by Joanne Froggatt, who is my favourite narrator.

I've been working my way through the free KL Slater's on Audible-they are pretty decent!

I like to have audio books of very long classics because I find it easier to listen than read. So recently, The Barchster Chronicles, Anna Karenina and Middlemarch.

But I do like to relisten to favorites. So have all the Peter Wimsey stories. Marian Keyes is a good relisten too.

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, narrated by Ray Parker is my stand out from the last few years, I absolutely loved it

Favourite fiction was the Audible production of David Copperfireld - which is excellent.

Favourite non fiction - currently listening to 1000 Years of Annoying the French - which is also very, very good.

Both were/are very entertaining.

So did I it was great !

For non fiction A Woman Of No Importance by Sonia Purnell

OMG The Heart’s Invisible Furies - the best the best the best! I’m still so upset I’ve finished it.

Anything by Nigella Lawson; her voice is lovely to listen to

The Beartown trilogy. So good. Was gutted to finish it and I think of Benji every time I get in the car, after many driving hours together.

I’m currently listening to The Trading Game by Gary Stevenson and it’s great. He narrates so you have to get used to the accent to begin with but it’s really compelling.

The Making of a Marchioness. An old favourite I was very pleased to find on audible.

Rivers of London series - brilliant listening.

I like Anthony Horowitz Hawthorne series but it seems marmite on here.
