We have sad news for audiobook aficionados: prolific audiobook narrator Katherine Kellgren passed away last week after several years battling cancer. Our condolences to her family and friends.

Avid listeners may not recognize her name, but she is the voice of nearly three hundred audiobooks and winner of several awards for her narration. American by birth but trained at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, her excellent accent mimicry convinced many listeners that she was British.

Kellgren received many accolades for her narration work. She won four different Audie Awards for her narration, including Best Female Narrator in 2016 for Wild Rover No More: Being the Last Recorded Account of the Life & Times of Jacky Faber by L.A. Meyer. She was a Booklist Voice of Choice and named an Audiofile Golden Voice.

Just finished listening to The Mysterious Howling read by Katherine Kellgren. 

I really enjoyed it, mostly due to the wonderful narration. She has such a talent for funny voices and accents.

Her Royal Spyness by Rhys Bowen | Audiobook Review

Why Did I Listen To This Book?

Adult mysteries are a lot of fun to read. However, I feel like I never really get time to indulge in them as I am up to my ears in young adult books – not a bad thing but I am the sort of girl who needs a little variety every once in awhile. At some point, Her Royal Spynessby Rhys Bowen ended up in some kind of Audible sale and you guys know I am absolutely unable…
