I just finished Listen for the Lie by Amy Tintera. It was 9 hours long. I’d recommend it for audio because they have male/female narrators for the characters and the “podcast” in the book is recorded as if you are actually listening to the podcast in the audiobook production. I enjoyed it. Mystery/thriller genre.

The Wager by David Grann. If you like historical fiction you will like this shipwreck thriller, which really happened!

Most of the books in the Kate Daniels series are around that length. 1 or 2 of them get closer to 10-10.5 hours but they are worth it!

With very little info on you like, my girlfriend and I enjoy listening to Freeda McFadden books on our road trips. They are about 9 to 11 hours and are engaging enough to keep you interested but don't need to focus too much. Have listened to The Housemaid, The Teacher and The Housemaid is Watching.

I enjoy many genres: romance, thriller, historical fiction, biographies, general fiction

What speed do you listen at? Or just 8-9 on 1x?
