Crime and thriller

I’m not a huge crime and thriller reader but I “discovered” the genre in 2024. When trying to increase my activity levels, I found listening to crime and thriller novels on audiobook was a great accompaniment to long walks. I tend to prefer psychological thrillers with social themes and complex characters. So, if that sounds like your vibe and you’re looking for an addictive crime-filled audiobook, then look no further.
