Crime/Mystery/Romantic Suspense

• The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle (audio read by David Timson - audio versions of stories spread throughout The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Naxos audio and has stories of both The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes mixed up. I listened to them in order of publication) | 4 stars

Other

• Die Snow White! Die, Damn You!: A Very Grimm Tale by Yuri Rasovsky (full cast dramatisation) | 4 stars 
• Wishful Drinking by Carrie Fisher (audio read by the author) | non-fiction | 5 stars - having the author read this gave it an extra dimension that you wouldn't have gotten as much from the print/e-book.
