| American Fire: Love, Arson, and Life in a Vanishing Land by Monica Hesse; narrated by Tanya EbyAdult Nonfiction. Beginning in November 2012, an arson spree terrorized a rural county in Virginia for six months. In American Fire, journalist Monica Hesse traces the fiery trail of Charlie Smith and Tonya Bundick, who torched unoccupied buildings near where they lived in economically depressed but tightly knit Accomack County. Like Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker, the deadly pair were romantically entwined; their motives remained elusive until after their capture. True crime aficionados and those interested in the economic fates of rural communities will want to listen to this compelling story, in which Tanya Eby's narration convincingly distinguishes among the participants' voices. |

| The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O. by Neal Stephenson and Nicole Galland; narrated by an ensemble including Laurence Bouvard, Shelly Atkinson, Laural Merlington, Joe Barrett, and Will DamronAdult Fiction. Magic is real and, until 1851, was practiced openly. Then it disappeared. To find out why, the shadowy government entity known as the Department of Diachronic Operations (D.O.D.O.), recruits Harvard-trained linguist Melisande Stokes to translate ancient documents in search of clues. This collaboration between science fiction writer Neal Stephenson and historical fiction writer Nicole Galland may appeal to fans of Jody Taylor's Chronicles of St. Mary's series. Read by an ensemble, the audiobook offers a rich and compelling listening experience. |
