I like listening to crime and suspense books - Thomas Cook is good,  James Lee Burke (as read by Will Patton) is great. There are lots and lots - depends on your tolerance for violence or your taste in style, etc.  Also depends on the reader’s voice.  

Recently listened to Fourth of July Creek by Smith Henderson -  excellent.  Also the J.K. Rowling crime novels written under the name Robert Galbraith are surprisingly good -  old fashioned English who-done-it with a war-crippled (Afghanistan) detective and his side-kick.  The Silkworm (#2) has a literary theme with the publishing industry as the setting. There are lots of allusions, references, in-jokes, etc. relating to literature as well as a mad author as victim.
