Audiobooks Like The Other Side of Midnight

Steven Pacey narrates Sidney Sheldon's international revenge thriller with a voice that holds the glamour and the ruthlessness of the jet-set world in the same breath — at 15 hours the Paris-Washington-Greece triangle plot gives each location its own atmosphere, and Pacey understands that Sheldon's appeal is always partly the pleasure of watching beautiful, terrible people move through beautiful, terrible situations. Two recommendations share Pacey as narrator and four are other Sheldon continuations by Tilly Bagshawe, so the list rewards listeners who want to stay in that specific mid-century glamour-noir register.

How We Rank Audiobooks

Rankings are driven by listener ratings and review counts from Audible and Goodreads. Books with high ratings across a large number of listeners rank higher — a 4.5 with 50,000 ratings says more than a 4.8 with 200.

Unlike most book lists, we weight audiobook-specific factors: narrator performance, production quality, and how well a story translates to audio. A great book with a poor narration isn't a great audiobook.

We don't accept paid placements or prioritize new releases. These rankings reflect what listeners actually enjoy, not what's being promoted.

Rankings update periodically as new ratings come in and new titles are added to the collection.
