    • "This is the definitive account of the Manson murders, straight from the prosecuting attorney. Its riveting account of the crimes, investigation, and trial make this one of the best true crime books ever written. But here’s the secret: It’s even better in audio, thanks to Hall of Fame narrator Scott Brick, who serves up a creepy campfire tale and epic legal history in equal measure." —Kat J., Audible Editor

    • Diana's Pick
    • "In 2017, my favorite colleagues from our London office told me they'd found their Thriller of the Year—with another five months still left in the year—I knew Silent Child would be captivating from start to finish. And how could it not be with Downton Abbey's Joanne Froggatt navigating you through every twist and turn?!" —Diana D., Audible Editor

    • Melissa's Pick
    • “I was a poor English major, but this book was one of the few I was excited to dissect in class. It has an ethereal, eerie air to it, a circling-around-the-drain feeling as we get closer and closer to the kernel of devastating truth that lies at the center. Told through the precise narration of Rosalyn Landor, I was hit anew by the gravity of Never Let Me Go in the listen.” —Melissa, Audible Editor

    • By: Amor Towles
    • Narrated by: Rebecca Lowman
    • Length: 12 hrs and 4 mins
    • Release date: 07-26-11
    • Language: English
    • 4.5 out of 5 stars 9,702 ratings
    • Lavina's Pick
    • "This gorgeously written period piece had me marveling over how well Amor Towles managed to craft such a multidimensional female character, letting her tell her own story without it feeling like its being relayed through the male gaze. To top it off, the narrator strikes the perfect balance of expressiveness without being melodramatic, making for a listening experience as smooth as the jazz tunes it references." —Lavina K., Audible Editor

    • Kat's Pick
    • "My team runs The Weekly Sound Off that links current events to some of our favorite audiobooks, and not a week goes by that we couldn't cite the brilliant So You've Been Publicly Shamed. Jon Ronson's incisive account of shaming in the Internet era only gets more captivating with age—and the same goes for his beguiling Welsh accent." —Kat, Audible Editor

    • Language: English
    • 4.5 out of 5 stars 8,732 ratings
    • Sam's Pick
    • "Get Well Soon was, pardon the pun, downright contagious among our editorial staff last year. Wright presents an otherwise grim and morbid topic with humor, reverence, and style, and Gabra Zackman expertly channels the author's wit." —Sam P., Audible Editor

    • By: Fredrik Backman
    • Narrated by: Marin Ireland
    • Series: Beartown, Book 1

    • Release date: 04-25-17
    • Language: English
    • 4.5 out of 5 stars 17,731 ratings
    • Tricia's Pick
    • "Like all of Backman’s books, Beartown resonates and lingers–coming to mind months later when you least expect it. And while you could call it a 'hockey' book, it's also a coming-of-age novel, a morality play, and a keen witnessing of groupthink." —Tricia, Audible Editor

    • Michael's Pick
    • "Will Patton's robust southern drawl is THE perfect medium for James Dickey's contemplative tour de force. Very few books can offer such a powerful mix of perspective, action, and voice as this absolute classic." —Michael D., Audible Editor

    • Originally published as Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
    • By: Philip K. Dick
    • Narrated by: Scott Brick
    • Length: 9 hrs and 12 mins
    • Release date: 11-27-07
    • Language: English
    • 4.5 out of 5 stars 10,397 ratings
    • Sam's Pick
    • "Okay, maybe this is one of those cases where the movie is more iconic than the book itself—but I urge any fan of the film or sci-fi in general to listen to Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep (retitled here). The novel is much different—in some ways trippier, in some ways even more complex—and Philip K. Dick himself was apparently delighted with how Ridley Scott imagined his world." —Sam P., Audible Editor

    • Language: English
    • 4 out of 5 stars 8,488 ratings
    • Rachael's Pick
    • "If you're looking for something grandiose, parodic, and completely unlike anything else you have ever read, this is it. Published posthumously, Toole's novel challenges the convention that characters need to change and plots have to have a point." —Rachael X., Audible Editor
