by J.D. Robb ; read by Susan Ericksen ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 2, 2025
Narrator Susan Ericksen returns to this long-running series featuring Lt. Eve Dallas, who solves murders in New York City in the 2060s. This time, a failed artist is murdering street-licensed companions and leaving them outside art establishments, posed as Old Master paintings. Dallas and her partner, Peabody, are called to the scene. Dallas is married to Irish billionaire, Roarke, and Ericksen gives him just a hint of an Irish lilt. Ericksen has established voices for the cast of characters, ranging from the bouncy intonation of Mavis, Dallas's friend, to the gravelly timbre of Whitney, Dallas's boss. Ericksen exudes the arrogant petulance of the killer and the grief of the friends of the murder victims. Ericksen's performance will keep listeners entertained by old and new characters alike.

An urgent phone call in the middle of the night. A body found in a location no one has ever heard of. So begins Penny’s 21st contribution to her popular Armand Gamache series. Narrator Alfred Molina is new to the Gamache audiobooks, but he seems comfortable in Three Pines. As Gamache and his team at the Sûreté du Québec, Jean-Guy Beauvoir and Isabelle Lacoste, struggle to unravel a tangled web leading to Lost Nation, a lost ship, lost documents, and an extinct plant. As the case unfolds, Jean-Guy and Gamache experience nightmares reliving horrific situations. All the regulars are here, and Molina handles them with respect. Only Ruth’s voice lacks its usual vitriol.
Molina’s intense, intelligent performance makes the novel’s bizarre circumstances believable, terrifying, and compelling.Pub Date: Oct. 20, 2026

Narrator Jack Holden draws listeners into this complex murder investigation led by Detective Matthew Venn and his team. Seventeen-year-old Charlotte (Lottie) and Hannah have come to Devon, England to celebrate the completion of their school year, staying at Hannah’s family vacation home. When Lottie is found dead in the swimming pool, the search begins for Hannah, who seems to have disappeared. Hannah’s father, a prominent politician, raises the profile of the investigation. Listeners follow along as Venn and his team chase down leads, uncover dark past events, explore current relationships, and dive into the black hole of social media. Holden masterfully delivers the atmospheric settings, complicated personalities, and compelling story.
