This thriller blends tense, fast‑paced drama with strong, expressive, and deliberate narration.
Homeland Security agent Carmen Sanchez and consultant Jake Heron investigate a series of deaths of newlyweds. The deaths are linked to a chilling serial killer known as the Honeymoon Killer, who crafts ghoulish “art” from murder and targets those left behind. Narrators Aida Reluzco and André Santana deliver compelling performances, heightening the suspense and emotional depth throughout. Both narrators amplify the tensions that accelerate with the twisted, psychopathic acts of the killer. As Sanchez and Heron urgently attempt to stay ahead of the killer’s next move, the narrators invest them with sincerity.

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.
