The Honey Bus by Meredith May



This is very well written, interesting, and I'm about her age, so a great nostalgia trip. (That said, I have to doubt the veracity of some of her memories, at least their specificity.)

The Prince of Providence by Mike Stanton



I'm from Rhode Island, so this was . . . well, I have never laughed so hard at an audiobook. And I always thought that "mobstahs and lobstahs" was a joke, but apparently it is . . . an understatement.

I really enjoyed this (even though it was mostly about the backstory of the main players and not the case itself.)
