Audible Plus recommendations?

Has anyone found anything worth listening to on Audible Plus? The stuff I've tried is all a bit odd - some of it sort of weirdly amateur, some of it just very badly read.

I've just enjoyed Precipice by Robert Harris (obvs used a credit for that) as well as the Stranger Times books. Generally I enjoy good literary mysteries, black comedy, historical fiction and anything really beautifully narrated. If there's anything great that I'm missing on Audible Plus I'd be very pleased to know!

Just about all the classics are available. Dickens, Sherlock Holmes, etc. Martin Jarvis is a great narrator of lots of the free classics.
They come and go, so I check every month. Most of the Thursday murder club are free at the moment.
I have on my wish list,
How not to be a boy - Robert Webb
Anna Karenina
Orlando - Woolf
Search on your favourite authors - they usually have one or two titles for free.

They have Pride & Prejudice on free at the moment, it’s under romances. It is brilliantly narrated, I am really enjoying it and noticing things for the first time even though I have read the book countless times.

I really rate KL Slater for thrillers/mysteries and she’s got a massive backlog on Audible Plus. Also Anna Lou Weatherby has a series maybe 8 or so books so far.

Thanks all!

I will delve into the classics - I've downloaded P&P but although I enjoy Sherlock Holmes in book format, I avoid them as audiobooks as it's often Stephen bloody Fry.

I've also started a David Nicholls called Sweet Sorrow, and a couple of gloomy-looking but well-reviewed science fiction.
