Favourite Audio Books - 2007

Last year, like 2006, I listened to 14 audio books so clearly a top ten is out of the question, however two of them came out with an 'A' grade:
Michael Dibdin - Back to Bologna
Barbara Nadel - A Passion for Killing
The narrators are respectively, Michael Tudor Barnes and Sean Barrett. Along with these two narrators I'd also recommend Tim Goodman (Bryant & May series by Christopher Fowler), Maggie Mash (anything) and David Rintoul (Inspector Sejer series by Karin Fossum).

    Off-topic for this blog, but the only audio book(s) I listened to this year were a couple of Harry Potters. Stephen Fry reads them brilliantly.

    Hi Kerrie,

    yes Simon Brett is very good also, especially as a non-actor.

    According to the ISIS webpage, Robin Browne narrated a Touch of Frost - not a narrator I've come across (yet).

    Next up on CD I have Absolution by Caro Ramsay narrated by ex Taggart chap James McPherson.
