I never got over my first love either, which was my very first audiobook. Simon Vance and Patrick O'Brian! But Case rounds out my top three of all time although regretfully I've run through the books in his library that appeal. It's been a while since I've listened to him.

FWIW, even though one of the main characters in the Lynley series is seriously annoying in the early books, the overall language is at a somewhat higher reading level than some I've been reading lately and I'm quite enjoying this.
I read the Lynley books for a while, despite the occasional howler typical of Americans writing about the British aristocracy. But I did hit a wall and walked away. That's usual for me with almost any series, though; my interest runs out before the books do.
