I like Lowell's books as well. I have the audiobook of the first one. I thought it was ok, but it didn't make me want to buy the rest. I don't know that Lowell's books work well as audiobooks. Maybe if I had heard the podcast or maybe it just needs someone whose strengths match the pace of the books.
I do agree with the previous poster that sometimes listening to really good narrators/voice actors can spoil you for the average narrator. Of course, I think that you do need to find someone whose narration style matches the book.
