The Woman in the Library by Sulari Gentill
DB 110801
9 hours, 0 minutes. Suspense Fiction, Mystery and Detective Stories.
“The ornate reading room at the Boston Public Library is quiet—until the tranquility is shattered by a woman’s terrified scream. Security guards take charge immediately, instructing everyone inside to stay put until the threat is identified and contained. While they wait for the all-clear, four strangers, who’d happened to sit at the same table, pass the time in conversation, and friendships are struck. Each has his or her own reasons for being in the reading room that morning—it just happens that one is a murderer. Award-winning author Sulari Gentill delivers a sharply thrilling listen with this unexpectedly twisty literary adventure that examines the complicated nature of friendship and reveals that words can be the most treacherous weapons of all.” — Provided by publisher. Unrated. Commercial audiobook. 2022.

Travels with Charley: In search of America by John Steinbeck
DB 16094
6 hours, 10 minutes. Classics, Travel.
Feeling that as an American writer he has lost touch with his country, the author sets out on a swing around the United States to see what it is really like. He travels in a trailer with ‘an old French gentleman poodle.’ Here is the leisurely account of what he saw, whom he talked with, and his conclusions, hopeful and otherwise. 1960.
