At The Murder Sheet, we’re all about true crime podcasts, but we also adore books about fascinating cases. Audiobooks are like our happy place —they have the in-depth coverage that books provide, but in the audio medium that we love so much.

So you can imagine we adore Audible. With an Audible subscription, you can enter an immersive library of audiobooks, from mysteries to thrillers to true crime. We’re talking about thousands of titles. Audible puts our collection of books to shame, and it also ensures you don’t have to deal with crooked bookshelves like we do. 

They’ve also got thousands of podcasts from all sorts of genres — including yours truly’s — not to mention theatrical performances and wellness program and all sorts of other audio experiences. Audible members can download or stream included titles at any time, and the Audible app lets you listen on the go. We love listening to audiobooks when we're doing chores around the house.

We also enjoy playing audiobooks while we're out on a walk. Audible is a great way to immerse yourself in countless stories. It’s a wonderful way to experience all kinds of books. And as a new member, you can try out Audible free for 30 days. This is a valuable membership that gives you access to so many new listening experiences. 

One novel we're looking forward to listening to is "A Wicked Snow" by Gregg Olsen, as narrated by Karen Peakes. It's all about a young crime scene investigator haunted by her mother's mysterious murder ... who one day receives an anonymous message. Just three words turn her world upside down. "Your mom called." We talked to Gregg on the show a while back, and we cannot wait to check that out. We love spine-tingling thrillers and mysteries, and we can tell that this one is going to be spooky in the best possible way. 

We'd also like to go back and re-read some Scott Turow legal thrillers, but we'll be doing so through Audible audiobooks this time, to get a whole new experience. Audible brings such atmosphere to the listening experience, with a focus on quality sound design, soundscapes, and excellent vocal performances. Audio is such a wonderful way to lose yourself in a book.
