Six years ago, I sent an email to Jeffrey about an idea I had for a LA detective show. That show is now in its second season, with a third season coming in 2025. This show is, I genuinely believe, the best thing Jeffrey and I have ever written, and I've come to love Molly and Lou, and have loved spending the last few years with them. The description for this season is below, and you can listen to the whole thing now with a free trial from Audible (the first season is also on there if you haven't heard it).

From the creators of Welcome to Night Vale, Alice Isn’t Dead, and Within the Wires comes the return of Unlicensed, their critically acclaimed Audible Original.
Out in the far reaches of Los Angeles County, where the glamor of Hollywood fades into the long empty of the desert, two unlicensed private detectives are about to face a case that is larger and more complicated than any they’ve faced before.
A ghost-hunting influencer disappears in the middle of a live stream. A beekeeper is murdered after telling his friends that he has come across a dangerous secret.
It is up to unlicensed PIs Lou Rosen and Molly Hatch to put together the pieces, as the powerful elite of California try to stop them. Even if they solve the case, can they come out the other side unscathed?
From the dusty citrus groves of Redlands to the wealthy enclaves of Monterey, season 2 of Unlicensed is the kind of grand California noir they just don’t make anymore.

Sometimes it takes too much energy to read a book and there is nothing worthwhile on television. Unlicensed, Night Vale, among others is a great alternative and infinitely better than what is on the television. I am resubscribing to Audible to hear the rest of Unlicensed. Excellent plots.

Enjoying it greatly on Audible! I love the underlying themes and darker reality of layers that underpin each character even within the essence imbued in the geography, and part of the backdrop and the forefront as PIs, searching out the so-called‘marionette pullers’ of the LA world amongst very non-champagne issues, perhaps. All Hail, S3 of Unlicensed!

I waited up for the release, and I’m already on Episode 9. So glad to hear there will be a third season, too! I first saw Molly Quinn as Alexis Castle on the TV show Castle, and that character was the same age I was, so hearing her in Night Vale and now also in Unlicensed feels like hearing from an old friend. As long as you want to continue the story, I’ll keep listening. :)

Thank you so much for making this season in audiobook form. While I love Audible, listening to podcast episodes in the app while I'm driving is an abysmal experience. I'm so excited to dive back into the stories of these fascinating, lovely women.
