Narrator Adam Lazarre-White draws listeners into the thought-provoking story of Titus Crowne, the first Black sheriff in the small Virginia county of Charon. As listeners enter Titus’s world, he is faced with a shooter at the high school, a neo-Confederate group on the march, and a serial killer terrifying the town. Lazarre-White masterfully portrays people of multiple races, old and young. He also delivers Cosby’s reflections on family, grief, and faith with genuine introspection and without distracting from the tense plotlines. When the final battle between good and evil leaves Titus‘s larynx damaged, Lazarre-White seamlessly conveys the changed man’s new voice. This is a gripping, timely tale—beautifully told.

by C.J. Box ; read by David Chandler ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A
C.J. Box writes about life in wild Wyoming, short stories of people living a rugged life by choice or by circumstance. David Chandler narrates in a rough-edged whiskey voice that suggests summer heat, bitter winters, and windswept prairies, guiding the listener through 10 adventures of men like Fish and Game Officer Joe Pickett. Chandler brings the listener into this strange world where, more often than not, men have to create their own justice. His performance of the economical stories, some rarely seen, is perfect. The tale of the frozen body of a Native American basketball player turned speed freak, her arm reaching through the ice of a lake in a final jump shot, is one of the most fascinating in the collection.

by Madeleine Henry ; read by Carly Robins ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 10, 2026
This suspenseful audiobook with an interesting but ultimately unbelievable premise should appeal to adrenaline junkies.
Carly Robins, with her pleasant, refined, all-American voice, narrates this raw and harrowing audiobook. A group of masked vigilantes known as "Nomen" is kidnapping up-and-coming celebrities and making them disappear. The group is fighting against the cult of celebrity and the country’s obsession with trendsetters. Fiona, a popular author, is among those targeted. Robins makes her sympathetic, and her perils frighten and compel. Fiona joins forces with another author, also a targeted celebrity, to rescue the glitterati who have been captured and bring the vindictive group to justice.
