The Room Next Door is a suspenseful Audible Original set in a small coastal town. When Brooke Lowry overhears a murder, the police chief (and Brooke's estranged best friend) Carrie Hollis uncovers evidence that ties it to a drowning from 15 years ago.

The Witcher fans can now read Geralt of Rivia's origin story in Crossroads of Ravens, the latest novel in Andrzej Sapkowski's best-selling fantasy series. Originally published in Poland last November, the English translation released in the US this week (September 30). While Crossroads of Ravens is the ninth book in The Witcher series, you don't need to be a longtime reader to understand what's going on. The prequel takes place before the other Witcher novels and original short story collections, so it's a suitable starting point for fans of the video game and TV adaptations, too.
