For someone who's loved Eugenia Price's novels for years, finding audiobooks of her work can be a bit of a project. She wrote historical fiction set in the American South, and while a lot of older fiction has been converted to audio, her catalog isn't as uniformly available as, say, Stephen King's. I’d start with Audible, of course—they have quite a few, like 'Savannah' and 'Lighthouse'. Searching 'Eugenia Price' there should pull up what's available. But don't stop there. Check other major platforms like Apple Books, Google Play Audiobooks, and Kobo. Sometimes one platform has a title the others don't. For instance, I found the 'Florida Trilogy' books were easier to find on Apple than Audible last I looked.
Libraries are a fantastic, free resource. Use the Libby or Hoopla apps with your library card. The selection varies wildly by library system, but I've snagged 'The Beloved Invader' this way before. Hoopla tends to have a more consistent catalog across libraries because of how their licensing works. If your local library's digital selection is slim, consider asking if they'd consider purchasing specific titles. Sometimes they will.
Used physical media is an option too. Sites like eBay often have old audiobook cassettes or CDs of her work. The sound quality might not be pristine, but there's a certain charm to listening to those old recordings. Honestly, tracking down her audiobooks feels a bit like a treasure hunt, which fits the historical sleuthing in her novels.

I think it's easy to overcount these things. A lot of her historical novels have deeply religious characters and themes of faith woven in, but calling them all focused on 'Christian faith narratives' might be stretching it for some readers. Take the Savannah quartet—'Savannah', 'To See Your Face Again', 'Before the Darkness Falls', 'Stranger in Savannah'. They're about the Civil War era, family sagas, and social change. Faith is part of the fabric of their lives, sure, but the narrative engine is historical drama. The St. Simons trilogy feels more intentionally centered on spiritual journeys, especially the Lighthouse one. So it depends on your definition. If you mean books where conversion or a character's relationship with God is the central plot, the number is smaller, maybe a handful. If you include any novel where prayer and church-going are regular features of the depicted society, then almost all of them qualify. I'd personally separate her straight non-fiction devotionals from the novels when counting.

The ones that really dive into her Florida trilogy feel like the core of her Southern historical work to me. 'Savannah', 'To See Your Face Again', and 'Before the Darkness Falls' aren't just about Georgia's founding; they're this detailed portrait of how social structures, land, and family legacy built the region. You can almost feel the humidity and smell the river mud in her prose. It's less about grand battles and more about the quiet, persistent ways people navigated loyalty, faith, and change.
I think her approach gets overshadowed sometimes by more dramatic plantation tales. She writes a slower, more introspective kind of history, focusing on community and moral choices over spectacle. The St. Simons Island series, starting with 'Lighthouse', does a similar thing but with a later time period, showing how the South rebuilt and remembered after the Civil War. Her research was meticulous, but she always wove it into the characters' daily lives.
