Tried to find this last month and hit a wall. Most platforms have it listed as 'Live and Let Die', the original book title. Spotify actually has it included with Premium in some markets—narrated by a guy named Jason Isaacs, who's got the right chilly tone for Bond. Didn't love it as much as the older recordings with Timothy Dalton, but it's serviceable.
Might depend on how purist you are. The newer recordings clean up the audio, but they also sometimes abridge the more problematic bits. If you want the full, unvarnished Fleming prose, double-check the runtime; a six-hour version is probably complete, while three-hour ones are cut.
Check Audible first—it's there. Dan Stevens reads it. Solid narration, though he makes Bond sound posher than I imagined. Also try Libby if you have a library card; saves money. The BBC radio play version is out there if you dig through archive sites, but the audio quality can be rough.
The availability really hinges on whether you want a vintage feel or modern clarity. I collected the whole Bond series on cassette ages ago, and those dramatizations with sound effects are a blast, but they're relics. For digital access, Audible is the most consistent. Their version narrated by Rory Kinnear respects the material without glossing over its flaws—his pronunciation of Strangways' name alone is worth the credit.
Libraries are an underrated resource here. Simply searching OverDrive with the correct title pulled up a copy my branch had licensed. If one app doesn't work, try another; Hoopla sometimes has titles Libby misses. Failing that, specialist audiobook retailers like Downpour offer DRM-free purchases, which is nice if you dislike being locked into one ecosystem.
For 'Live or Let Die', you're likely looking for the Ian Fleming James Bond novel originally published as 'Live and Let Die'. The audiobook situation is a bit of a patchwork. The full-cast, dramatized versions produced by the BBC are fantastic if you can track them down; they used to be on Audible but availability shifts. For a straightforward narration, Audible currently has versions narrated by actors like Rory Kinnear or Dan Stevens—Stevens does a particularly smooth job with the dated elements. It's also worth checking if your local library uses apps like Libby or Hoopla; I've found older Bond titles pop up there without the purchase price.
A word of caution: because the title is so close to the film, search engines sometimes get confused and prioritize movie tie-ins or soundtrack listings. Adding 'Ian Fleming' and 'audiobook' to your search helps filter that noise. If you're outside major regions like the US or UK, licensing can be spotty, so a VPN might unlock more options on services like Google Play Books or Apple Books. The physical CD versions are floating around on secondhand sites too, often for cheap.

The witch told us my older sister would die at sixteen, and her prophecies had never been wrong.
From that moment on, my sister became the most important one in the family.
The best venison was saved for her. The rare white fox fur was given to her. Every night, our parents told her bedtime stories.
I knew she was pitiful, but I still felt hurt and resentful.
Then, on the day she turned sixteen, a sharp pain spread through my chest. Afraid I would cause trouble, my parents locked me in the basement.
“Mom, please…” I cried, pounding on the door. “I can feel my wolf spirit getting weaker. Let me out…”
However, Mom said without hesitation, “No! Today is an important day for your sister.
“She only has one day left. Just bear with it…”
When I finally closed my eyes and my soul drifted out of my body, I saw the living room filled with warm candlelight.
My parents were holding my sister who was alive and well as they cried.
Only then did I realize that the witch’s prophecy had never been wrong.
The one meant to die was never my sister.
I was looking for that exact thing last month and ran into the same issue. Turns out, it's a bit of a hunt because 'Die, My Love' isn't always under that exact title; the Spanish original is 'Que No Muere, El Amor' or something close. I found the most reliable place was Audible, but you have to search for the author, Ariana Harwicz. It popped right up for me there. I remember Scribd had it listed too, but the availability in their catalog seems to change depending on your region.
Honestly, I'd start with your local library app, like Libby or Hoopla. Mine didn't have it, but it's worth a shot before spending. The narration is pretty intense, so listening to a sample first is a good idea. I ended up buying it on Google Play Audiobooks because I had some credit.
Took me ages to find a reliable source for 'Live or Let Die' after the licensing shuffled around last year. Audible has it, but sometimes it disappears from their catalog depending on region—I had to use a VPN once. Spotify Premium includes it in their audiobook section now, which was a nice surprise. My local library app, Libby, had a six-week waitlist, so that's an option if you're patient.
I'd steer clear of random YouTube uploads; the audio quality is usually terrible and they get taken down halfway through. The official publisher's website sometimes sells direct downloads, but their storefront is a bit clunky. Honestly, Audible's the most consistent if you want it right this second.
