About this list

No matter how many you’ve listened to, the thing about mysteries is that there’s always the “moment.” The one that allows you the victorious “nod” to a captivating story. The moment you take to revisit in your mind a scene or a piece of dialogue or a character that you’ll remember for a very long time. This year, there were many of those moments and nods in this genre. Sometimes there are misses, and sometimes there are hits. We are happy to present to you the hit list for 2023. In terms of plots, characters, twists, and more, we would call it “The Year of Layers.” Kudos to all the creators who delivered incredible stories and unforgettable characters—and to the narrators who brought them to life and, in some cases, death.
