Every Monday through Friday, AudioFile’s editors recommend the best in audiobook listening. We keep our daily episodes short and sweet, with audiobook clips to give you a sample of our featured listens.

Narrator Bianca Amato, a South African actress, gives listeners an opportunity to once again enjoy the wit, warmth, and wisdom of Precious Ramotswe in the latest No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency adventure, The Joy and Light Bus Company. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Robin Whitten discuss the fun of hearing a new narrator take on Alexander McCall’s Smith’s long-running series. Detective Mma Ramotswe deals with a shaky business plan, a son concerned about his inheritance, and child exploitation. A rewarding listening experience.
