Totally enjoyed the Jan Karon series from the local library because they were so expertly read. I could just see the characters and action. I absolutely love Sandra Dallas books. . . have listened to them over and over. Another recent favorite is the Maisie Dobbs series by Jacqueline Winspear, which is pre-WW1 in England and forward with a fabulous private investigator. Very, very clever and fascinating. I always check out my audio books at the library and am so bummed when I finish a really good one.
