Audible recommendations please!

[ColdinSeptember]

I’ve just listened to all of strike and I feel spoiled, Robert Glenister is so amazing.

ive now started a few other things and sent them back because the narrators are so awful. I need a good book with a decent narrator.

please someone help.

Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier has a great narrator. Really good diction and quite a soothing voice.

I have also recently listened to Rebecca. Fantastic.

I always sample before buying and have just recently found you can return one if you don't get on with it-which I did.

It is a bit of a how long is a piece of string question.
Just having a look at my audible library.

Just finished Atonement-absolutely wonderful. Didn't want it to finish.
84 Charing Cross Road is a beautiful listen-based on a true story and very short.

I tend to like Classics- Bridesmaid Revisited is brilliant and narrated by Jeremy Irons-his voice so velvety.

All the Nancy Mitford books, and just revisited Jane Austen

If you haven't listened to Lessons in Chemistry then start there!!!

Just started Vanity Fair and already enjoying.

Ooh I might get Atonement. It's been on my to read list for a while now.

I also loved The End of the Affair by Graham Greene. That was beautifully read.

Can't recommend Atonement highly enough @ShortyWentLow hope you enjoy it!

Thank you. I think I have been lucky in the past but all the ones I’ve had lately have been dreadful, audio books are a real skill and so many readers don’t have it.
I think I might get Atonment just now!

@ColdinSeptember My fingers are crossed that it hits for you-update your thoughts

Still Life by Sarah Winman is beautifully narrated by the author herself.

If you like a particular narrator you can click on their name on the book details page, and it shows you the other books they've narrated! (Sorry if you already know this but it took me a while to find this out)

I really like Juliet Stevenson as a narrator and she has done absolutely loads of books on audible.

I love Kobna Holdbrook Smith's narration of The Rivers of London series by Ben Aaronovitch.

I've just started the Jackson Brodie series by Kate Atkinson. The narrator is so good that I had to return the new Adele Parks book because I couldn't stand the narrator.

Jackson Brodie is an excellent idea, it’s years since I’ve read them.
I did look to see if Philip Glennister had done much else but he hasn’t really.

Juliet Stephenson is also a great suggestion, I have listed to some BBC stuff she has done.

i can’t believe how awful some of the readers are, I can’t even listen to them.

One of the best audiobooks I've listened to is Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. It's narrated brilliantly by Adjoa Andoh.

I just listened to Yellowface and really enjoyed it.

Jodi Taylor's Chronicles of St Mary's and the Time Police books - all beautifully read by Zara Ramm and all completely immersive.

Lindsey Davis has had a couple of narrators for her Flavia Albia Roman Murder Mysteries series. The current one, Jane Collingwood, is very good.

Classics - Anton Lesser does a lovely reading of Great Expectations. If you're in an ambitious mood, Jim Norton and Marcella Riordan's reading of Ulysses might suit you. Molly Bloom's soliloquy is one of the best things I've ever listened to 😍
