I need to use up several Audible credits so would love to hear your recommendations.

Audiobooks that I have loved include Bring Up The Bodies - Hilary Mantel, We Need to Talk About Kevin read by Lionel Shriver, Me Before You - JoJo Moyes, One Day - David Nicholls and the Goldfinch - Donna Tartt.

I'm listening to the Night Watch by Sarah Waters at the moment but I'm struggling to be honest. I loved Tipping the Velvet, which I read, but this isn't doing much for me at all. It could be the narrator, which can make or break an audiobook for me. I also didn't like Kind of Cruel by Sophie Hannah, but that could have also been due to the narrator.

I enjoyed Big Brother by Lionel Shriver. Also Restoration and Merivel by Rose Tremain.

I loved all of PG Wodehouse's books read by Jonathan Cecil; fab books and brilliant narrator.

The Son in Law, written by Charity Norman was brilliant to listen to. It has three different voices to narrate the chapters as they are written from different perspectives and it really brought the story alive.

I've actually just ordered the book of Restoration based on recommendations on another thread. Thanks for the other suggestions, will check them out.

Neil Gaiman's Anansi Boys read by Lenny Henry - perfect combination of book and narrator!
