Novels are for the road. I drive many miles a year and love to listen to recorded books. Authors like Stephen King, Michael Connelly, Jonathan Kellerman John Sanford, Scott Turow, Ken Follett, Harlan Coben, Jeffrey Archer, Lisa Scottoline, Sue Grafton, and even John Grisham put me INSIDE their characters heads. Stirring up a little mystery or suspense really increases the attraction. And I'm a real sucker for characters who reappear.

It doesn't work for everyone, but I can drive farther and stay more alert while listening to a good book.
