Recommended audiobooks:
A Witch in Time by Constance Sayers
Narrated by Courtney Patterson, Claire Christie, Brittany Wilkerson, and Stephanie Willis
Published: February 11, 2020
Goodreads blurb: "A young witch is cursed to relive a doomed love affair through many lifetimes, as both troubled muse and frustrated artist."
My two cents: Maybe a tiny bit long, but wow, the ending!
The Washington Poe Series by M. W. Craven
1 The Puppet Show (2018)
2 Black Summer (2019)
3 The Curator (2020)

6 The Mercy Chair (2024)
7 The Final Vow (2025)
8 The Killer's Mark (2026)
All narrated by John Banks
M. W. Craven blurb: "Meet Detective Sergeant Washington Poe. Dark, cynical, ruthless; he lives a monastic existence in a shepherd’s croft on the most desolate moorland in Cumbria. Even his secrets have secrets. He has a past he keeps there and another past he doesn’t yet know about . . ."
My two cents: Terrific police procedurals, even if Poe and his team rarely follow instructions.
A bit gruesome, with sharp and witty dialogue, and a male author who can write convincing female characters.
Chasing Evil: Shocking Crimes, Supernatural Forces, and an FBI Agent’s Search for Hope and Justice by Robert Hilland and John Edward
Narrated by Robert Hilland and John Edward
Published: September 2, 2025
Goodreads blurb: "How a skeptical FBI agent reached out to a famous psychic for help on a baffling case—and the twenty-five-year crime-solving journey that followed."
My two cents: Not for the faint of heart, as some bad people are caught and properly sentenced. Not all cases were neatly sewn up, and the struggle to find evidence was the true story here. Fascinating, but there isn't a snowball's chance of me ever becoming a cop.
