We got the tea on the most popular thriller audiobooks being checked out on the Libby app, which serves more than 22,000 public libraries across the US.
- Before we get into the current list, we looked at similar data last October, except it looked at ebooks, not audiobooks.
- The lists are pretty much the same apart from a few switcheroos here and there.
Here’s the Top 10:
10. Listen for the Lie by Amy Tintera
9. The Mad Wife by Meagan Church
8. The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose
7. The Housemaid by Freida McFadden
6. Gone Before Goodbye by Harlan Coben
5. You Deserve to Know by Aggie Blum Thompson
4. My Husband’s Wife by Alice Feeney
3. Dear Debbie by Freida McFadden
2. The Divorce by Freida McFadden
Despite a 10% increase from May to June, the #1 spot isn’t held by a McFadden book.
- Instead, the most popular thriller audiobook on Libby is the buzziest thriller of the year, a Good Morning America Book Club pick, and a mega bestseller.
- We even have a book club podcast episode dedicated to it up on our Patreon.
Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke, for the uninitiated, is a 2026 debut novel that skewers the entire concept of a “tradwife influencer” with a trippy twist.
- I just started reading it, and the narrator is low-key (high-key) insufferable, which is perfect.
Also, side note, but did y’all peep what many of these thrillers have in common? I guess hundreds of years of having to get married to survive will eventually lead the girlies to contemplating murder. Bloop!
