Top 7 Best Ever Audiobook "Page Turners" (you won't be able to stop listening!)

Posted by:Lindsay S. Nixon

Here are 38 book recommendations that are my top "page turner" Audible audiobooks. These are the best suspense book. I would even say these are the best audiobooks for road trips.

As most of you know I'm an insane reader (250-ish books last year... I'm on #90 so far in 2018). Audible is one of my favorite ways to read even though it takes longer than reading with my eyes... I like that I can do it while I fold laundry :) 

I also find some books are better as audiobooks (specifically: 13 Reasons Why, One of Us is Lying, Greyhound, Harry Potter (all of them), and Safest Lies).  

If you want to get started with audiobooks — here is my list for "page-turners" super thrilling listens I could not stop. The Janie series will always be the book series that ate an entire weekend. Almost every one of these books I devoured in 24 hours, some keeping me up all night so listener beware. 

If none of these strike your fancy, I have a list of favorite audible narrators here.

Top 7:

The Couple Next Door book cover

Behind Closed Doors (B.A. Paris) — The perfect marriage? Or the perfect lie? Everyone knows a couple like Jack and Grace. He has looks and wealth; she has charm and elegance.

All the Missing Girls (Megan Miranda) — Like the spellbinding psychological suspense in The Girl on the Train and Luckiest Girl Alive, Megan Miranda's novel is a nail-biting, breathtaking story about the disappearances of two young women - a decade apart - told in reverse.
 
All is Not Forgotten (Wendy Walker) — Until one night when young Jenny Kramer is attacked at a local party. In the hours immediately after, she is given a controversial drug to medically erase her memory of the violent assault.

A different approach to how they tell the "thriller" 

Tiny bit sci-fi:

Non-fiction that isn't "learning" and is gripping like a novel


Fun not goopy page-turning Romance:


Not true "thrillers" but couldn't stop:
