- If you haven’t yet heard of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, you’re seriously missing out. When Lisbeth Salander, a rebellious and withdrawn (though genius) hacker, pairs with journalist Mikael Blomkvist, who is still reeling from a libel trial, to crack a decades-old cold case involving the disappearance of a young heiress, the pair begins to pull the threads on a deeper mystery involving corruption within the Swedish state. To this day, Dragon Tattoo remains a favorite of mystery lovers, and it’s not hard to see why. Author Stieg Larsson crafts a meticulous, tightly-woven world rich with questions of justice, sexuality, trauma, and morality. Hall of Fame Narrator Simon Vance is arguably the only person suited to narrate a story that brings to life such a tangle of unique, dark characters—so it’s lucky for us that he does.

- Language: English
- By now, most of the world knows that Robert Galbraith is actually the pseudonym of J.K. Rowling, mastermind behind the Harry Potter universe. But don’t be skeptical of listening to an adult mystery from your favorite childhood author—Rowling’s knack for world-building and character creation aids in developing this mystery, which is at once fresh and modern while acting as a well-crafted love letter to classic mysteries. Narrated spectacularly by BBC regular Robert Glenister, this is a mystery that takes its time, allowing the listener to savor the details rather than rushing them through for a thrill. Detective Cormoran Strike is in a downward spiral after returning to London from Afghanistan, where he lost one of his legs to a land mine. To make matters worse, Strike is in debt, living out of his office, and hurting from a fresh breakup—when someone walks into his office with a new case. Lula Landry, world-famous supermodel, plunged to her death months ago in what the police wrote off as a suicide...but what if there was something far more insidious at play? As Strike is thrown into the world of the rich and famous, listeners will be hanging on to every word, just as intrigued as the detective himself.

Plunging into the belly of the beast, Bosch must relive the horrors of his time spent in war-torn Vietnam while facing his most personal case yet. As if the story weren’t compelling enough on its own, narrator Dick Hill, fan-favorite winner of three Audie Awards, delivers a performance that brings this engrossing tale to its shocking end with perfect pacing and tone.

- Agatha Christie is a legend of the mystery genre—and her stories just so happen to lay the perfect foundation for a truly exceptional audio experience. In And Then There Were None, 10 strangers are invited to an isolated island off the coast of England, lured by promises ranging from job offers to a complimentary summer vacation. But soon, it seems something more ominous is at play, as they’re slowly picked off in the cruelest fashion, one-by-one.You may know narrator Dan Stevens as Downton Abbey’s Matthew or the latter titular character in the live-action adaptation of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. But the actor is also a prolific audiobook narrator, and his expertise is evident in his performance of Agatha Christie’s classic. It’s a story that already holds a position among the best mysteries of all time, and Stevens’s performance is on par with the tale’s reputation.

The Alienist is a mystery with big characters and an evocative setting: New York City in the Gilded Age, perhaps one of the most luxurious places and times in history. In an era when psychologists are greeted with derision, one such
alienist
is secretly enlisted by the police commissioner to work with a respected reporter and determined police secretary to investigate the brutal murder of a young male prostitute.
The chase takes them into NYC’s flashy criminal underground, replete with gin mills and sharp-dressed gangsters, toward a killer more sinister than any of them could have imagined. The rich narration of three-time Audie award-winner George Guidall is paced and dramatic (without being over-the-top), ensuring listeners sink right into the plot and stay there without interruption. If you’re a fan of psychological thrillers, The Alienist will scratch your every itch: psychological profiling, immaculate characterizations, and of course, a sick and twisted murderer at the heart of it all.

It just wouldn’t be a best mystery list without the inclusion of legendary detective Sherlock Holmes. Ever since his first appearance in 1887, the detective has been a favorite of sleuth-enthusiasts. This comprehensive collection of the detective’s exploits, featuring classic tales from
A Study in Scarlet
toHis Last Bow,
is performed by the singularly talented English actor, writer, director, and comedian, Stephen Fry. His narration accentuates the wry humor of Arthur Conan Doyle’s writing while maintaining the suspense that’s integral to each plot. Even if you’ve heard these stories a million times before, Fry’s performance makes them feel entirely new. And since the collection is broken up by each individual mystery, it’s perfect for a long night in or satisfying listening in short spurts.

- Language: English

Marlon James became the first Jamaican author to win the prestigious Man Booker Prize in 2015. His debut novel, The Book of Night Women, tells the story of Lilith, a girl born into slavery on a sugar plantation, who challenges her lot in life with a group called the Night Women—and in the process, gradually discovers her own dark power.
Driven by dangerous secrets, jealous rivalries, and inhuman violence, The Book of Night Women is difficult to listen to at times. Yet Robin Miles’s performance brings the characters and their world vividly to life. Deftly switching between voices and accents for each character, her narration sounds more like a performing cast on a radio serial than one person, making it ideal for scenes with the full crew of Night Women.

- What makes The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley so unique is the detective on the case: an 11-year-old girl named Flavia de Luce. In the summer of 1950, de Luce is enthralled in a youthful fascination regarding chemistry...particularly as it applies to poison. When a man falls dead on the grounds of her family estate, the precocious, brilliant young sleuth is the first one on the case. A character so surprising and different for the genre, de Luce is enlivened by Odyssey Award winner Jayne Entwistle, who perfectly encapsulates the spirit of an 11-year-old girl in her narration, while keeping her voice sounding natural and genuine. Her inflections mark the curiosity of the child telling the story, but she remains serious as de Luce ponders the case. Together, Bradley and Entwistle tell the story of a young detective’s first case as she sets out to prove her father’s innocence in the wake of accusations of murder.

Best selling author John Grisham is well-known for his legal thrillers, so A Painted House, which is a mystery set in rural Arkansas, is a nice departure from his norm. Told from the perspective of seven-year-old Luke Chandler, the story takes listeners on a journey to a quaint little house on a rented cotton field. When harvest season arrives, the Chandlers hire a truckload of migrant workers and a family of hill people to help them haul in the season’s bales.
What starts as a simple month of harvesting turns into something much more sinister as the workers battle rain, the heat, and each other—and Luke keeps more and more secrets to himself. This story is complemented by David Landsbury’s easygoing, relaxed performance. His voice encapsulates life on the farm as a young boy, charged with the emotion and curiosity of our young protagonist and narrator, Luke.
