Frank Herbert’s Dune series is fun for LONG trips. Also, we enjoy listening to Michael Crichton when we can find one of his books on CD. Tom Clancey is excellent as well.

I'm not a user of audiobooks, but I would imagine the first few books of Asimov's Foundation series would be excellent for a long trip. (And it's sorta' kinda' a mystery).

We have loved Michael Medved’s series on American History. They are fascinating talks, full of information, great delivery. I think his site is Tree Farm or something.

I have really enjoyed several of Stephen King’s short story collections on tape.
The short stories are easier to follow, and keep my interest better, while being distracted by driving.

A number of Rex Stout Nero Wolfe stories are available. Some Buried Caesar is excellent. The Doorbell Rang and Too Many Cooks Are also good
Any of the Jeeves audiobooks from PG Wodehouse are suitable for the whole family..

I say anything from Dean Koontz or Stephen King for the "mystery" or "gripping" perspective.
Also, anything by Frank Peretti...
Set in the apparently innocent small town of Ashton, This Present Darkness follows an intrepid born-again Christian preacher and newspaper reporter as they unearth a New Age plot to take over the local community and eventually the entire world. Nearly every page of the book describes sulfur-breathing, black-winged, slobbering demons battling with tall, handsome, angelic warriors on a level of reality that is just beyond the senses. However, Christian believers and New Age demon-worshippers are able to influence unseen clashes between good and evil by the power of prayer. Peretti's violent descriptions of exorcisms are especially vivid: "There were fifteen [demons], packed into Carmen's body like crawling, superimposed maggots, boiling, writhing, a tangle of hideous arms, legs, talons, and heads." This book is not for the squeamish. But for page-turning spiritual suspense, it's hard to beat.

Vince Flynn writes great political thrillers. Don’t know if he’s got audio books but worth checking into.
To: Yaelle
Don't know if he has anything current but Dave Barry is quite humorous.

You can also find old time radio shows (public domain)
www.archive.org/details/oldtimeradio
Dimension X and Suspense both have some interesting programs with established actors.
Oddly enough, I heard a “modern” (post 1970s, not sure how much more recent, e.g. post 2000?) radio drama with Stacy Keach.

With the risk of being ridiculed form my the other men on this forum; I really liked "The Thirteenth Tale" by Diane Setterfield.
In audio form it is partially read by Lynn Redgrave. She has has a fantastic reading voice. The story is one of the best I've heard on audio - twisting tale that I did not guess the ending. I often have a book pegged before the halfway, not this one. Two thumbs up here.

Seriously, the greatest audio book of all time is john krakauer - into thin air. He reads it and the adventure is so awsome it is a prsonal account of the Mt. Everest disaster in 1996 where 11 people died on the summit.
To: Yaelle
I like Robert Parker, the Spenser or Jesse Stone Novels, although since they made the TV shows I can only picture Robert Urich or Tom Selleck as the hero.
