This series is the inspiration for A&E's show “Longmire,” but fans know the audiobooks are much different—and better! This is thanks to narrator George Guidall's perfect character portrayals. Guidall's depiction of Walt Longmire brings the hardheaded, tough yet emotional Wyoming sheriff to life. He's also perfect as Vic, the foul-mouthed, feisty undersheriff, and best of all as Walt's deep-voiced, steadfast Native American friend, Henry Standing Bear. In this ninth book of the series, Longmire and his friends investigate a missing woman and encounter a polygamous cult involved with serious crimes, including stockpiling weapons and stealing oil. While the plot is sometimes confusing and far-fetched, the characters and Guidall's impeccable performance make the story work.

Novelist Benet Archdale and housemaid Carol Stratford are two young, single parents who have no reason to know each other. They become tangled in a nightmarish spiral of kidnap, fraud, family violence and death. Ruth Rendell creates psychological suspense in thrillers that are compulsively readable or, in this case, listenable. British actress Imelda Staunton's reading is perfectly paced, and the characters are well defined. You'll have a hard time turning it off.

Emerson and Peabody are at it again! Uncovering antiquities takes a back-seat as the romantic archaeologists track down the master criminal who is stealing Egypt's ancient treasures. With the help of their precocious son, Ramses, the intrepid pair unravel this mystery in crowded bazaars, desert camps and the heart of the Black Pyramid. Barbara Rosenblat's reading fully measures up to the tale. She is a master of timing and nuance. Rosenblat's power for character interpretation has grown with each book in this amusing series. This is the best one yet.
