📚 Recommended audiobooks:
It Could Have Been Her, by Lisa Jewell
Narrated by ensemble cast
Released June 23, 2026
Goodreads blurb: "Lisa Jewell brings the suspense to this shocking new thriller about a lost dog, a missing woman, and a house of long buried secrets."
My thoughts: A very twisty mystery, as an amateur sleuth revises a scary event in her life.
Gave it four stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Read the trigger warnings!
The Unicorn Hunters by Katherine Arden
Narrated by Fiona Hardingham
Released June 2, 2026
Goodreads blurb: "In a desperate gamble to save her throne, a young monarch conceals a secret marriage in the shadows of an enchanted forest—and unknowingly alters the fate of her world."
My thoughts: A romantic tale for Anne of Brittany, January 1477 - January 1514 (aged 36), who was betrothed multiple times, and married to two Kings of France, having eleven pregnancies but only two surviving children, the author decided that Anne needed a true love, with unicorns!
Gave it four stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Narrated by Andrew Fallaize
Released August 4, 2026
But if the great detective Ana Dolabra cannot save him from the noose, the farming canton of Sapirdad will explode into war, threatening to plunge the whole Empire into starvation and chaos.
As Ana investigates—her assistant Dinios Kol, as ever, acting as her eyes and ears—she fears her task is even more daunting than it seemed. For this murder is just the latest in a deeper, subtler web of death, woven by a mastermind with an ancient weapon at his disposal."
My thoughts: This is a terrific sci-fi detective tale, and it's the third one in the series.
Such a fascinating series; I've given each book 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Book #1: The Tainted Cup
Book #2: A Drop of Corruption
