The Women

A Novel

Creation Lake

A Novel

By: Rachel Kushner
Narrated by: Rachel Kushner
Length: 11 hours 9 minutes

Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone

A Novel

By: Benjamin Stevenson
Narrated by: Barton Welch
Length: 9 hours 30 minutes

“This is your classic murder mystery turned on its head by calling out every single trope. Literally. The whole concept is that the narrator writes how-to manuals for crime writers, so when he has his own murder(s) to solve, all the rules are right at his fingertips. Does that stop the twist from being pretty satisfying? I'd say not. Maybe I... Read more
