Audiobook enthusiasts, get ready to cue up some new fall favorites. Listeners have lots to look forward to, including continuations of beloved series, celebrity narrators, authors performing their own work, and more.

For many, Louise Penny’s latest Chief Inspector Gamache mystery is at the top of the TBR list. Fans eagerly anticipate each new installment, and this fall, Armand Gamache gets a new voice: actor Alfred Molina. Penny’s audiobooks have been narrated by the late Ralph Cosham as well as Robert Bathurst and Jean Brassard, and with Miss Wolcott’s Ghost (Macmillan Audio, Oct. 20), Molina becomes the fourth narrator to take up the mantle, though he’s not new to the character—he played Gamache in the Three Pines streaming series. Molina has also signed on to narrate the next four audiobooks in the series.

Some spooky season must-listens: Mena Suvari performs Alice Hoffman’s The Witches of Cambridge (Simon & Schuster Audio, Sept. 8), set in the 1950s, about a secret society of witches at Radcliffe College. Lauren Fortgang and Michael David Axtell, who have narrated all of the audiobooks in Leigh Bardugo’s Ninth House trilogy, return for the final entry, Dead Beat (Macmillan Audio, Sept. 15). Alex Stern is back from hell, and the demons that followed her out are terrorizing the Yale campus. And author Tomi Adeyemi narrates her contemporary YA campus thriller, The Siren (Macmillan Audio, Sept 29).

More fiction: Bonnie Garmus, author of the megahit Lessons in Chemistry (2022), returns with a new novel read by Seth Numrich. Peck & Peck (Simon & Schuster Audio, Oct. 13) is about a young man who begins working for a renowned poetry journal. Notably, Numrich has earned Earphones Awards for his narration of two of Stephen King’s audiobooks. And in an audio-original production that will also include music and sound effects, four narrators—Helen Laser, Fred Berman, Alexis Campbell, and Ian Guerra—take on Hillary Frank’s domestic thriller, Wedlocked (Macmillan Audio, Oct. 20), about an influencer couple whose real lives are less than perfect.

In the mood for memoir? Film buffs won’t want to miss Dustin Hoffman’s Look at Me (Simon & Schuster Audio, Nov. 10). The actor will perform this retrospective of his life and career himself. Meanwhile, Monty Python alum Eric Idle takes listeners to his house in the French countryside with Idle in Provence: A Brief History of Thyme (Harper Select, Sept. 8), and singer Harry Connick Jr., whose mother, Anita-Francis Livingston Connick, championed his music and who died when he was just 13, delivers his Babe: Elaboratio: A Tribute to My Mother (Harper Celebrate, Sept. 29).

Finally, two big names take on current events: Rachel Maddow narrates her history of the U.S. Justice Department, Department of Fate: The Promise, the Power, and the Collapse of America’s Most Consequential Institution (Random House Audio, Nov. 10). She has narrated several of her previous books in what we’ve called her “signature forthright style.” And Malcolm Gladwell, who has experimented with using interviews, archival audio, and more in his audio productions, narrates his investigation into gun violence, The American Way of Killing: The Invention of an Epidemic (Recorded Books, Sept. 29).

Jennifer Dowell is the audiobooks editor.
