And my final official Armchair Audies category: Mystery!
The nominees for the Audie award are:
| THE NIGHTMARE Lars Kepler Read by Mark Bramhall (Macmillan Audio) Read the review |  |
| THE BEAUTIFUL MYSTERYLouise Penny Read by Ralph Cosham (Macmillan Audio) Read the review |  |
| AND WHEN SHE WAS GOODLaura Lippman Read by Linda Emond (Harper Audio) Read the review |  |
| HUSH MONEYChuck Greaves Read by Dan Butler (AudioGO) Read the review |  |
| THE GOOD THIEF'S GUIDE TO VEGASChris Ewan Read by Simon Vance (AudioGO) Read the review |  |
Confession time! (All these detectives around, I'd better confess readily or who knows what will happen to me.) I didn't ever get around to Hush Money. I mean, I listened to the sample, and Butler's voice is fine - a little more nasal than I like, and he hits some notes a bit hard - but the book held no interest at all for me, and it took a long time to arrive from the interlibrary loan, so I just didn't listen.
Still, I listened to - and enjoyed - the rest. And talked about them. (The Beautiful Mystery, The Nightmare, The Good Thief's Guide to Vegas, And When She Was Good.) Overall, it was a strong category and a lot of happy hours of listening for me. I was already a fan of Penny and (to a lesser degree) of Lippman and Ewan, so I knew I'd have a tough time picking between them.
But pick I did, and Cosham's narration of The Beautiful Mystery was enthralling. I look forward to hearing on Thursday that I am correct! I'm also going to continue listening to as much as these authors publish. (Give or take Greaves.)
