When No One Is Watching
A Thriller
By Alyssa Cole
Narrated by: Susan Dalian & Jay Aaseng
Length: 8 hours 54 minutes
When No One Is Watching
“Coleโs thriller exposes the underbelly of gentrification and prosperity, taking a searing look at systemic racism. When a pharmaceutical firm plans to move its headquarters to a historically Black Brooklyn neighborhood, an influx of rich white people displace Black residents from their homes and their roots. Timely, groundbreaking, and thought-provoking, When No One Is Watching is essential reading for the #BlackLivesMatter movement.”

A Novel
By Tana French
Narrated by: Paul Nugent
Length: 22 hours 6 minutes
The Witch Elm
“Reading Tana French means disappearing into another life for a while. Her stories arenโt meant to be slick or flashy, but deliberate, intricate studies of characters and their motivations. The Witch Elm is no different, as it follows the unraveling of Toby starting the night he surprises two burglars in his apartment. As you learn the secrets and weaknesses of Toby and his family, you begin to realize that while finding out what happened is enjoyable and surprising, finding out the how and the why is even better.”

“Riveting! I hurried through this apocalyptic novel about two families thrown together during an earth shattering event. Alam builds tension even during a relaxing family day at the beach and expertly paces the reader through idle, dreamy stages and amps up the speed during stressful times. A thought-provoking study of humanity.”

Mexican Gothic
By Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Narrated by: Frankie Corzo
Length: 10 hours 39 minutes
Mexican Gothic
“Mexican Gothic is a fairytale turned nightmare, perhaps with a nod to Jordan Peeleโs Get Out. In 1950โs Mexico, glamorous debutante Noemรญ receives a mysterious letter from her newlywed cousin Catalina. In frantic prose, she pleads for Noemรญ to visit her at High Place, the family residence of her husband, an English expat whom she has grown to distrust. Upon her arrival, Noemรญ finds a dilapidated, mold-ridden mansion on the grounds of a former silver mine with a sickly past, upheld by a eugenicist patriarch whose suffocating surveillance would drive anyone away, if only they could leave. Woven together like a mycelial network, Silvia Moreno-Garciaโs latest features feminist heroism and commentary on colonialism, with language and culture as secret weapons. Itโs absolutely delectable.”

Winter Counts
A Novel
By David Heska Wanbli Weiden
Narrated by: Darrell Dennis
Length: 8 hours 17 minutes
Winter Counts
“Weidenโs book is a thriller with an important social and political message. Following a Lakota โenforcerโ who enacts extrajudicial punishment to fill the gaps in the legal system, Winter Counts is a twisty new addition to the growing Indigenous literature canon. Weidenโs exploration of the injustices of reservation life is vital.”

The Need
By Helen Phillips
Narrated by: Alex Allwine
Length: 6 hours 19 minutes
The Need
“I firmly believe I will be hard-pressed to pick up a book in 2019 I love more than The Need, a genre-bending novel that explores motherhood and identity. Molly is the most authentic character Iโve had the pleasure of reading in quite some time, accompanied by baby Ben and lively Viv, the most fully realized fictional four-year-old ever. Is The Need a fever dream, a psychological thriller, a cosmic twist of fate unveiling a parallel world? The author leaves her readers to wonder while highlighting the dualities of domestic life. In gorgeous prose, Phillips shows how the mundane is often revealed to be just that, but sometimes that mundanity is sacred. A deeply immersive human story.”

The Glass Hotel
A novel
By Emily St. John Mandel
Narrated by: Dylan Moore
Length: 10 hours 28 minutes
If you enjoyed The Dutch House, then you’ll love The Glass Hotel.
“This is not a trite story of redemption. It ends with a reunion, perhaps the only meaningful kind of reunion, though it changes nothing. There are dozens of kinds of heartbreak, and none of them are mended in any conventional way. Characters who seemed cruel and characters who seemed incorruptible turn out, in dozens of ways, to be more alike than different, but without cynicism and without sentimentalism. And one perfectly timed revelation at the very end gives two characters precisely the resolution they craved, though the revelation neither draws them together nor has a similar effect on them both. And yetโand yetโthis is a book exactly and precisely about redemption, maybe the only kind that ever really makes a positive difference in the world, and it gives hope specifically by showing how multiple lives continue from a crisis into a livable future. Beautifully described, unexpected, and powerful, this is the ghost story we need now.”

Conviction
By Denise Mina
Narrated by: Cathleen McCarron
Length: 9 hours 45 minutes
Conviction
“This standalone Denise Mina novel is one of her very best, which is saying a lot for this massively talented crime writer. Not only is it gripping and page-turning and all of the other -ings that a thriller should be, it also has drop-dead fierce sentences: she describes someone's laugh as "so dark and wild you could drown bags of kittens in it." (Now say that again in your head with a thick Scottish brogue.) The characters are gloriously flawed and sympathetic. And on top of all of that, it also manages to explore in some depth the very art and impact of storytelling: whose stories get told to whom and how, and what that means for those who are too frequently silenced.”

We Ride Upon Sticks
A Novel
By Quan Barry
Narrated by: Isabel Keating
Length: 14 hours 44 minutes
We Ride Upon Sticks
“This is such a fun romp! It has everything you could possibly want in a book: field hockey, witches, and โ80s bangs that have literally taken on a life of their own. Set in Salem in the 1980s, we follow a group of high school field hockey players as they struggle with their new dark powers and attempt to end their losing streak. One of the strangest, most satisfying books I have read in a long time!”
Hillary Smith, Copperfield's Books Calistoga
