I love the Alex Benedict series. I also have this in audio, a very good narration too. My favorite so far was
Polaris. Haven't listened to
Echo and
Firebird, but I own those two in paper.
I have recently finished the Blackstone version of Mary Shelley's
Frankenstein, which I can recommend. Also finished Stephen King's
11/22/63. Competent narration and the story kept me interested, though I think it could have been a little shorter in the middle part.
I am now listening to Terry Pratchett's
The Wee Free Men, the first book in the Tiffany Aching series (set on Discworld, but not a "classic" Discworld novel). I have read the book ages ago and finally wanted to pick up the series again, so I got myself the audiobook at Downpour.
I am also listening to
The Drowning Girl by Caitlin R. Kiernan. I am enjoying it, but since somebody here returned it to Audible because he hated it, I'd say it's not everyone's cup of tea. I tend to like Kiernan's stuff, this is not the first book of hers that I enjoy (I have already listened to
Threshold and
The Red Tree which made me come back for more).
