In Search of a Killer (Good Audiobook)

 It's a struggle that every audiobook fan knows all too well: staring at the Libby app, a list of mystery and thriller titles in front of you, but with no idea where to start. There are so many choices, and it's so hard to commit to a book without knowing if the narration is going to be a perfect match for the story.

I've been in this exact predicament for the last week. I've finished my last audiobook and I'm itching for a new dose of suspense. I'm looking for a story that will grab me from the very first minute, with a narrator who can make me forget I'm even listening to an audiobook. A voice that can bring characters to life, build tension with every syllable, and deliver a plot twist that makes me gasp out loud while I'm doing the dishes.

My Libby holds list is getting a little out of control, and it's time to make a decision. I've been eyeing a few popular titles that keep popping up in my searches:

• Freida McFadden's books seem to be everywhere, with titles like The Housemaid and Never Lie getting a lot of buzz. I'm intrigued by the fast-paced, twisty plots people talk about. (Have read these two books already).

• The ever-popular The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides is another one that keeps appearing. It's a psychological thriller classic for a reason, and I've heard great things about its narration. (Have read this book).

• I've also seen a lot of recommendations for Lucy Foley's books, like The Guest List and The Midnight Feast, which are praised for their full-cast narrations that add a whole new layer to the whodunnit experience. (Read The Midnight Feast)

But the sheer number of options is still overwhelming. Do I go for a a recent hit, a classic, or a book by a new-to-me author? I'm torn between wanting something I know is going to be good and wanting to discover a new favorite.

So I'm turning to all of you, my fellow book lovers and audiobook connoisseurs. What mystery or thriller audiobook have you listened to recently that you couldn't stop thinking about? What book on Libby is a can't-miss listen, and who is the narrator who truly made the story unforgettable? I need your help to narrow down the choices and find my next great listen.
