Remember how bad the film 'Absolute Power' was?

The 20th anniversary book of the same name is one of the best I've ever listened to (Scott Brick reads), and I'm pleased to report that it has little to do with the crap film.

Just checked and according to Audible, I've listened to 293 books. Def in the top three I've ever listened to.

...and the book has sold 110 million copies.

Highly ++ recommended.

I’ve never read any of his books but I’ve got a spare credit so I’ll give that a go. Thanks

me too! Reviews are excellent apart from the now expected one or two that HATE the narrator, no matter who it is. That and people who can't ignore "he said, she said" :-)

sounds good and will be nice to get away from sci-fi for a break!

Recently went through the two Philip Pullman novels in the new Book of Dust trilogy (third not released yet) and enjoyed those. Then listened to a couple of short stories from the same universe, which were good, but paying a full Audible credit for a short story does grate a bit. Also, the Audible app tends to get a very annoying stutter at the start of chapters when played in the car.

I enjoyed Absolute Power too. Very good.

Onto another Harry Hole story now (Nemeis) I always enjoy these.

Listened to the free Jack Whitehall safe space series too - most of them were pretty funny!

Audible Original of 1984.

Excellent production values and cast. Sadly, I didn't find the story any more engaging than when I was made to read it at school hehe

Slow Horses by Mick Herron.

Well narrated and serves up a pretty dystopian view of the back offices of the Secret Services.
