Audiobooks Like Truly, Devious

Kate Rudd narrates Maureen Johnson's boarding-school cold-case opener with a clear, measured young-adult thriller voice — the 10-hour runtime suits the novel's dual timeline structure, and Rudd's delivery makes the true-crime obsession of the protagonist feel earnest rather than precocious. One pick shares her narration, and the rest draw from the award-winning mystery and procedural space where the mystery mechanism is as important as the atmosphere.

How We Rank Audiobooks

Rankings are driven by listener ratings and review counts from Audible and Goodreads. Books with high ratings across a large number of listeners rank higher — a 4.5 with 50,000 ratings says more than a 4.8 with 200.

Unlike most book lists, we weight audiobook-specific factors: narrator performance, production quality, and how well a story translates to audio. A great book with a poor narration isn't a great audiobook.

We don't accept paid placements or prioritize new releases. These rankings reflect what listeners actually enjoy, not what's being promoted.

Rankings update periodically as new ratings come in and new titles are added to the collection.
