Free Audiobook : A Talent for Murder, by Peter Swanson

Martha Ratliff had accepted long ago that a solitary life might be her fate. Content with her independence and engaged in her work as a librarian in Maine, she was surprised to find herself saying "yes" to Alan, a kind-hearted traveling salesman she’d known only briefly. Despite the whirlwind, their marriage seemed strong, until Martha noticed an unusual bloodstain on a shirt he wore to a Denver conference.

Curiosity transformed into suspicion as she researched Alan’s travels, uncovering a chilling pattern: five unsolved murders in the cities he’d recently visited. Could she be married to a serial killer, or was it all a coincidence? Unsure, Martha reaches out to her old friend Lily Kintner, who once helped her escape an abusive relationship. Lily agrees to meet Alan, hoping to gauge his true nature—but what she discovers is darker and more twisted than they imagined.
