   In the Woods

   Dublin Murder Squad • Book 1

   by Tana French

   Narrated by Steven Crossley

   Both narratives build atmospheric tension through unreliable narration and layered mysteries that unfold across their runtime, with Crossley's measured delivery matching the psychological complexity that made Holm's performance of Collins's Victorian mystery so compelling. French's Dublin-set investigation shares The Woman in White's preoccupation with secrets buried beneath respectable surfaces, though grounded in contemporary psychological depth rather than Gothic intrigue.

   Murder on the Orient Express

   A Hercule Poirot Mystery • Book 10

   by Agatha Christie

   Narrated by Dan Stevens

   Both audiobooks feature ingeniously plotted mysteries with unreliable narrators and hidden identities at their core, though Christie's tightly constructed locked-room puzzle offers a more streamlined listening experience than Collins's sprawling Victorian narrative.
