Length: 15 hours 52 minutes

“This book is brilliant! There were moments that were so poignant and so deep, I stopped the audio and just absorbed.

Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone

A Novel

The Ernest Cunningham Mysteries: Book #1

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

Length: 7 hours 22 minutes

“This was an amazing listening experience. The writing flows like a long awaited tell-all memoir, and the twist at the end was so eerily foreshadowed that suspense ran through every minute. Every actor played their role to perfection, and the added sound effects and music made Horror Movie's in-book scenes feel all too real. This is one thriller... Read more

Reese's Book Club Pick (A Novel)

By: Ally Condie
Narrated by: Christine Lakin
Length: 10 hours 57 minutes

“The Unwedding by Ally Condie is a twisty thriller you won't want to stop reading. Like most thrillers, it's hard to say much about the plot without giving things away, so I won't.
