About this listen

She’s a librarian. He’s a movie star. Someone wants them dead.

Lana Fleming’s sister has vanished from the set of TV’s hottest show, and no one seems to care. Desperate for answers, Lana sneaks in as an extra, only to get stranded with Griffin Hart, an A-list action star with a reputation for good abs and bad decisions.

Though Griffin didn’t expect to be cast as a librarian’s sidekick in a real-life thriller, he’s weirdly into it—and into her. Even more unsettling—she sees right through his playboy persona. But their meet-cute soon turns deadly when they uncover a Hollywood scandal for the ages.

Caught in a high-stakes cliffhanger, it’s up to the leading man and his unlikely love interest to save the day, defeat the bad guys and maybe—just maybe—earn their own happy ending.

Lights. Camera. Run for your life.

What listeners say about Once Upon a Crime

Highly rated for:

The Audiobook's Story Revolves Around An Unlikely Romance Between A Famous Actor And A Shy Librarian, Intertwined With An Intriguing Mystery And Suspenseful Plot Twists. Many Listeners Found The Storyline Engaging, With Unexpected Turns That Kept Them Hooked. The Romance Aspect And Compelling Characters Were Also Praised. However, Some Felt The Plot Was Predictable Or Unrealistic At Times, With Underdeveloped Characters Or Slow Pacing. The Themes Explored Include The Contrasting Worlds Of Celebrities And Ordinary People, Secrets And Revelations, And The Blossoming Of An Unconventional Romantic Relationship Amidst A Suspenseful Mystery.

What’s not to LOVE!

Wow… this story kept me coming back for more. The book and movie references added themes and funny moments. The layering - and unraveling - of the characters personas was incredible. Gats off to the narrators. Having both a female and male voice made for a smooth and believable delivery, like you were there on this wild, plot twisting journey with them…. And just enough “heat” to make you swoon. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Light suspense with a little humor

This was different than what I generally read, but I enjoyed. And I must admit, I was surprised in the end..

Creative & not too cheesy

Very nice with love & suspense story. Only the preaching (near the end) about babies separated from parents as an excuse for problems that are typical issues that most kids have was an eye roller to me. But it was minor, thank goodness.

What a fun tale to listen to.

I really liked the main characters chemistry. The performers did a wonderful job of bringing them to life. An intriguing mystery within a mystery. well worth the listen.
