I get excited when someone wants an audiobook recommendation, because hunting down a specific title like 'Memoirs of a Murderer' is part detective work, part Netflix-binge energy. First thing I do is check the major audiobook retailers: Audible (Amazon), Apple Books, Google Play Books, and Kobo are the big four where most commercial audiobooks live. Search by the exact title and, if you can find it, by the ISBN or author name—those little details save you from buying the wrong edition or a different language version. Audible often has exclusive narrations and AAX files, while Apple/Google sell in formats that play across your devices without needing the Audible app.
If you prefer supporting indie shops or want a human touch, I also look at Libro.fm — they let you buy audiobooks while supporting a local bookstore. Downpour is another solid alternative; they sell DRM-free MP3s sometimes, which I love because I can move files around easily. For budget options, check Chirp deals and Kobo sales, and occasionally you’ll find used CD audiobook sets on eBay or thrift sites if you don’t mind physical media. Don’t forget library apps: Libby/OverDrive and Hoopla let you borrow audiobooks free (you might get a waitlist), and Scribd is a subscription option that sometimes includes widely sought titles.
If the audiobook isn’t popping up anywhere, it may be out of print, region-locked, or simply never produced. In that case, check the publisher’s site or the author’s social media—sometimes they announce new audio editions or narrators. You can also search for translated audio if you’re comfortable with another language. Before you buy, listen to a sample clip (all major platforms offer one), check runtime and narrator credits (a great narrator can change everything), and compare prices — Audible credits, direct purchases, or subscriptions all affect the real cost. If you want, tell me the author or the country of origin and I’ll dig further—I love these little scavenger hunts and I’m always curious which narrator people end up loving.
I’m the kind of person who listens to everything on my commute, so when I want an audiobook like 'Memoirs of a Murderer' I usually try Audible first because their search is fast and they show narrator info and samples right away. If it’s not there, I hit Apple Books and Google Play; sometimes publishers release audio to just one store. For free or cheaper options I check my library via Libby or Hoopla — borrowing is a win if you don’t want to commit to buying. If none of those have it, I’ll peek at Kobo, Libro.fm, Downpour, and Scribd, and even scour eBay for old CD sets.
A quick tip: search by ISBN or author name to avoid mismatches, listen to the sample to make sure you like the narrator, and compare prices (credits vs. direct buy). If it truly doesn’t exist, the publisher or author’s site often has news about audio releases or preorders, which has saved me from endless searching more than once.

I found out my husband of three years had cheated on me and his mistress is the one who told me—because he didn’t have the balls to do it himself.
I move out and get a new apartment, a job as a bartender, and try to move on with a broken heart. I wonder where it all went wrong, if I hadn’t been enough for him, if I’d been stupid for marrying him in the first place.
I’m at work one night when he walks inside—the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen. He sits at the bar and a forest fire burns between us. I was depressed the moment before he entered, but the second I look at his blue eyes, I forget the dumpster fire that my life has become. I invite him back to my place and it’s the most passionate night of my life. I expect to never see him again.
I just want him as an anti-depressant—but he wants me all to himself. I just got my heart ripped out of my chest so I want something easy and no-strings-attached, but he wants all the strings because he’s hooked.
I don’t get much of a say in the matter, and that’s not surprising when I learn why—because he’s the Butcher. The crime lord of all crime lords, the boss that overshadows all of Paris, that makes everyone abide by his rules—or pay.
And now I’m his.
He promised to protect him from a killer. He never said he was one.
When journalist Ian Parker witnesses a brutal murder, he should have been the killer's next victim. Instead, he wakes up in the hospital, saved by Zhedya Hunter…a brilliant forensic pathologist, a reclusive CEO, and a man with chilling grey eyes that feel hauntingly familiar.
Charismatic and dangerously possessive, Zhedya offers Ian shelter in his opulent penthouse, a gilded cage where every comfort is a chain.
As Zhedya's obsession deepens, Ian's career skyrockets, with damning evidence against the city's most wanted criminals mysteriously falling into his hands. But each exclusive story comes with a price: a fractured memory, a drugged haze, and a growing pile of bodies connected to anyone who threatens their twisted paradise.
Now, Ian is trapped in a nightmare of luxury and lies, unraveling a truth more terrifying than any headline: his savior is a predator, his sanctuary is a crime scene, and the man who claims to love him is the most prolific murderer he will ever interview.
Learning how to love a murderer is easy. Surviving him is the real story.
He broke down my door at 9:47 on a Tuesday to kill my husband. He wasn’t supposed to find me. I should have been afraid of the most wanted man in the state. Instead I asked him for something no woman had ever asked him for. Then I drove north. I thought I was free.

Desperate for money, I planned a livestream exploring the home of a notorious serial killer in the dead of night.
I thought it would be nothing more than a publicity stunt to attract viewers.
I was wrong.
What started as a reckless grab for attention turned into the most terrifying night of my life and a brutal lesson in what it truly meant to stare death in the face.
Fifteen years ago, my parents-in-law were cut into pieces. My wife and I spent years searching for the killer.
One day, I came back from the market and found that the neighbor’s family had been murdered in the same way.
At the crime scene, I saw the neighbor’s face in the mirror.
I rushed out and chased him.
I was just about to catch him when my wife stopped and handcuffed me with her own hands.
“Drop the act. You’re the killer!”
I adore audiobooks, especially when I'm multitasking or just want to immerse myself in a story without holding a book. 'The Word Is Murder' by Anthony Horowitz is definitely available in audiobook format! I listened to it last year, and the narration by Rory Kinnear is fantastic—he captures the dry wit and tension perfectly. It's one of those mysteries where the audio performance adds so much to the experience, making the detective's quirks and the twists even more engaging.
If you're into audiobooks, platforms like Audible, Google Play Books, or Libby (for library loans) usually have it. I remember being so hooked that I finished it in two days during my commute. The way Horowitz plays with meta-fiction in the story feels even more vivid when heard aloud. Definitely give it a listen if you enjoy clever whodunits!
If you want a straightforward place to buy 'I Am Not a Serial Offender', I usually head straight to the big audiobook stores first. Audible (via Amazon) almost always has mainstream titles, and they let you listen to a sample before buying, which I live for—helps me know if the narrator's voice matches the mood. Apple Books, Google Play Books, and Kobo are the other big players; they’re handy if you prefer buying without a subscription. I’ve also used Libro.fm when I want my purchase to support an independent bookstore instead of a giant corporation.
If you’d rather not buy, check your local library apps—Libby (OverDrive) and Hoopla often have audiobooks for lending, and I’ve borrowed some hard-to-find titles that way. Smaller services like Chirp offer one-off deals, and Scribd or Audiobooks.com provide subscription models if you listen a lot. For physical collectors, occasionally CDs or special editions pop up on eBay or Discogs.
One last tip: if you actually meant the similarly named title 'I Am Not a Serial Killer', search both titles on those platforms. I found a surprising narrator choice once and it changed the whole book for me—totally worth the sample listen.
Man, I was just digging into this the other day! 'My Life in a Crime' has been on my radar for a while—I love gritty memoirs, and the title alone had me hooked. After some serious hunting, I found that yes, it is available as an audiobook! The narration’s done by this voice actor who really leans into the raw, unfiltered vibe of the story. It’s like listening to a late-night confession from a friend who’s seen too much.
What’s cool is how the audio format amps up the tension—there’s something about hearing the pauses, the sighs, the way certain lines are growled that makes the book hit harder. I’d recommend it if you’re into audiobooks that feel immersive, almost like a podcast. Only gripe? The pacing’s a bit slow in the middle, but stick with it—the payoff’s worth it.
