I love to listen to books on long drives. "Born a Crime" by Trevor Noah is among my favorites. I'm currently enjoying "Her Deadly Game" by Robert Dugoni.
What makes this a must-listen audiobook?
The narrator does a fantastic job bringing the lively cast of unique characters to life. Parallel Secrets is a suspenseful story that goes beyond solving a dark mystery to explore insights about modern media and the consequences of keeping secrets. It also includes a bit of romance.

Author Biography:
Maria Lynn Barrs is one of thirteen children born to an immigrant mother and the son of a coalminer. She's the first girl, with three older brothers—a birth order she believes shaped her essence by the time she was eight. A girl’s gotta be a bit pugnacious to get along in that environment. Amid the chaos of fourteen people living in a mobile home, she turned fifteen, dropped out of school and ran away from home. Being homeless, then working minimum wage jobs quickly grew old. She earned a GED, graduated college, married, and had two children while launching a career as TV news reporter. Later, as News Director, she led teams covering terrorist attacks, devastating storms, major elections, and the conflicts and joys of everyday life. She retired as General Manager of a TV station and is living her dream of writing mysteries. What drove Maria as a journalist is what drives her protagonist—a deep longing to find truth and set something right.
